Hi Glenn,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question about Disney bands (known as MagicBands in the United States). Disney bands are a fun way to keep details organized and convenient. Disney Bands allow Guests to open their Disney Resort hotel room with a tap of the wrist, tap for theme park entry at the turnstiles, scan to add PhotoPass photos and touch for payment for merchandise and dining.
At the moment, International Guests are unfortunately unable to pre-purchase Disney bands but luckily, they can be purchased onsite and linked to a My Disney Experience account.
Pop Century's gift shop, Everything Pop Shopping and Dining carries a few different styles of Disney bands but if you're looking for a larger selection, I recommend checking the following locations:
Once you've purchased your Disney band, you'll need to link it to your My Disney Experience account. Disney bands do come with a bit of a charge but I brought a battery pack so I could charge it for a bit while enjoying the parks.
I hope this information is helpful, Glenn. Safe travels and enjoy your stay at Disney World! Please visit us again at planDisney if you have any other questions, we're happy to assist.
See you real soon,
Candace
