Greetings Marilyn!
Welcome back to planDisney with a great question.
MagicBands are the ultimate piece of wearable technology while on vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort. I am a firm believer in the fact that you cannot visit your favorite Disney Theme Parks too much and you can never have too many MagicBands.
I am happy to tell you that the MagicBand+ will be making its debut any day now. The exact date that you can purchase the newly upgraded MagicBand+ is still unknown. But rest assured that if you have a reservation at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel for your upcoming trip, you will be able to purchase a pre-arrival discounted MagicBand before your arrival.
There are new, special edition, and limited-edition MagicBands available all the time for Guests who will be staying on Disney property. You can also check out the selection online at
shopDisney. These MagicBands would need to be linked to your My Disney Experience account prior to use. Once MagicBand+ finally arrives, you will also be able to purchase them in retail shops in all 4 Disney Theme Parks, select shops in Disney Springs, and retail locations in your Disney Resorts Collection hotel.
Keep your ears tuned in to the
Disney Parks Blog for the official launch of MagicBand+ with details of the designs available. I hope this helps with your planning. If you have any more questions please come back and visit me here at planDisney. I would be happy to help you plan your magical vacation.
See ya real soon,
Andrea
