Welcome back to planDisney, Judith! I'm so glad you found your way back to us.
At this time, International Guests cannot purchase MagicBands ahead of their trip with a discount. However, there are plenty of
merchandise locations throughout the resort where they can pick up a new MagicBand or
MagicBand+. In fact, there is usually a selection of them at the Disney Stores in each terminal of the Orlando International Airport if that's where they are arriving.
I hope that your family is planning on visiting
EPCOT when you arrive in May. Not only is the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival taking place until May 27, 2024, but this park's multi-year transformation is almost complete. I was blown away by
Luminous The Symphony of Us, the brand-new
nighttime spectacular lighting up World Showcase Lagoon. I also wasn't expecting to be so deeply moved by
World Celebration Gardens and the Walt the Dreamer Statue at
Dreamers Point, but there I was, a total puddle on a park bench!
Judith, it sounds like you're in store for a wonderful vacation.
Please feel free to reach out with any other questions!
When we come together, it’s a heartbeat symphony,
Matt
