Hi Janice, welcome to planDisney!
Is your 2026 Disney vacation a holiday surprise? I can imagine my kids’ joy if they opened a MagicBand+ package on Christmas morning, even if they already knew a trip was coming!
Guests with an upcoming Disney Resort reservation can purchase a MagicBand+ in advance. The MagicBand+ order can be placed through the
Walt Disney World website under “My Disney Experience” and “My MagicBands and Cards.” If your MagicBand+ order is placed 11 or more days prior to your arrival, the order will be shipped to your home. Purchases made 6 to 10 days before your arrival will be waiting at the Front Desk of your Resort. At this time, there are no discounts offered for ordering your MagicBand+ in advance. This order can only be placed once, so if there are more Guests on your Disney Resort reservation, each Guest must choose a MagicBand+ design or opt out of ordering. If any Guests opt out of pre-ordering their MagicBand+, they can still purchase a MagicBand+ once they arrive at Walt Disney World, or even order through
DisneyStore.com.
The online MagicBand+ offerings can change frequently, so if you see something you like, I recommend placing your order. I usually prefer to place my order no later than a month in advance, just to make sure it arrives on time.
The
excitement of counting down to a Disney trip is one magical part of vacation planning. We’ll be here at
planDisney to help you with every magical step as you get ready for your next visit!
