Hi Liz and welcome to planDisney!
How exciting that you'll be visiting
Walt Disney World for the very first time in just a few months! There's honestly nowhere else on Earth like it - there's just something so special about being there, immersed in the magic. I must warn you though - it's addictive (says she currently planning her 20th trip)!
Magic Bands (or
Disney Bands as they are referred to here in the UK) are so super convenient to use during your stay. You can use them to enter the Disney Parks, unlock your Disney Resort hotel door, charge food and merchandise purchases to the payment card on file at your Disney Resort hotel room, redeem
Lightning Lane passes and collect your
Memory Maker photos - all with a tap of your wrist!
Going back to your question, Liz, unfortunately, it is not possible to purchase Disney Bands from here in the UK and band orders cannot be shipped internationally.
You can, however, purchase Disney Bands upon arrival at Walt Disney World. These bands are available for purchase in many locations, including World of Disney and Disney’s Pin Traders at Disney Springs, as well as select Disney Resort hotel shops. In my experience, there is always a great selection available to choose from at
Disney's Pin Traders. My daughter picked a lovely design from here during our last visit.
I hope that this has answered your question, Liz. Please feel free to re-visit us here at planDisney if we can be of any further help with the planning of your upcoming trip. You can even
ask me a question directly.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
