Greetings, Normand and welcome to
planDisney!
Thank you kindly for consulting planDisney with your excellent question, and as a fellow Canadian Disney fan and Guest, it is my wish that one day soon, MagicBands and the
new MagicBand+ will be shipped to Canada. Normand, I apologize but I am not privy to the reason why MagicBands or the MagicBand+ are not shipped to international destinations, only our beloved pal Mickey Mouse knows why. For further clarification please contact
Walt Disney World Resort - My Disney Experience and MagicBands early morning or later in the evening when wait times are shorter.
To clarify, at this time the MagicBand and the MagicBand+ is only used at Walt Disney World Resort, and the new MagicBand+ will arrive at the Disneyland Resort in the near future, therefore please keep a close watch over the official
Disney Parks Blog for the announcement of the MagicBand+ at the Disneyland Resort, we are all very excited about this.
Normand, for my past vacations at Walt Disney World Resort I have had success purchasing my MagicBand through
shopDisney and then arranging for it to be shipped to my
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel at Walt Disney World Resort in time for my arrival - please pay close attention to the various shipping times offered near the end of your purchase. If you are planning a vacation at Disneyland Resort, you may wish to consider shopping for your MagicBand+ via shopDisney and arranging for it to be sent to your Disneyland Resort Hotel,
but please wait until the official release of the MagicBand+ to the Disneyland Resort before you purchase your MagicBand+ device for use at the Disneyland Resort. You also have the option of waiting until your arrival to purchase your MagicBand or MagicBand+ at many locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort, or you can purchase the MagicBand+ at many locations at the Disneyland Resort after its official release.
If you are a Guest at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel at Walt Disney World Resort, you will be able to purchase and customize your MagicBand or MagicBand+ via your Disney account in advance of your arrival. The pre-purchased MagicBand or MagicBand+ will be waiting at the Front Desk of your Disney Resorts Collection Hotel at Walt Disney World Resort at check-in.
Normand, I hope this information is helpful, it was my pleasure offering assistance today, please stop by for more advice, especially since you are planning your visit during the
Festive Holidays & Christmas Celebration at Disneyland Resort - I would be happy to help you optimize your visit to enjoy and experience as much as possible.
Best Disney Wishes!
