Hi Ronald!
Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney! Your trip is coming up soon and there are some dates to know when ordering MagicBands so let’s get down to business!
You can order new MagicBands and
MagicBand+ on the My Disney Experience website before your arrival. At this time, your MagicBand or MagicBand+ order will be sent to your home if the order is placed 11 or more days before your reservation. If your order is placed 6-10 days before your reservation, your MagicBands will be sent to your Disney Resort hotel and can be picked up at the Front Desk at check-in. You can order by logging in to your My Disney Experience account and visiting “My MagicBands and Cards.”
At this time, there is a selection of MagicBand+ choices available for a special pre-arrival price of $34.99. The themes and colors can vary, so you may not find your favorite character online this close to your trip. If you’re looking for a particular theme, you’ll find a greater variety of MagicBand+ options in Walt Disney World. You can find MagicBands available at your Disney Resort and in the
merchandise locations around the parks.
If you’re waiting to purchase your new MagicBand+, you can complete
Online Check-In so you can use the My Disney Experience app to access your resort room when you arrive. You can also set up the
Disney MagicMobile pass to use your phone to enter the theme parks and scan into
Lightning Lane experiences.
The MagicBand+ is a lot of fun to use, Ronald. My family loves seeing the MagicBand+ light up and buzz along with fireworks shows and interacting with the
golden character statues in the parks. My favorite is when my band lights up as Elsa is singing “Let It Go” on
Frozen Ever After in EPCOT! I hope this was helpful, you’ll need to decide soon if you want to order your MagicBand+ in advance. Come back and
see me at planDisney if you have any more questions!
