    Hello! I was just wondering when I pay for our discounted Magic Bands? I assumed that I would pay for them when we chose them. Thank you in advance!

    Hi there, Shannon, and welcome to planDisney. 

    Every day is a good day when you're wearing Mickey ears and a MagicBand+ because it means you're on a Walt Disney World vacation! I am very happy to help you order your MagicBand+. 

    I love how my MagicBand+ lights up during shows and attractions! Additionally, the convenience of quickly accessing my Resort hotel room, theme park entrances, and Lightning Lane queues makes vacation life much easier when all I have to do is tap in. 

    As a Guest at a Resort hotel, you have the benefit of pre-ordering a MagicBand+ at a discounted rate. To do this, log into your My Disney Experience account. Hover over the "My Disney Experience" tab and select "My MagicBands and Cards." Here, you can order and pay for your MagicBands. If you place your order 11 or more days before your reservation, it will be shipped to your home. However, if you order 6 to 10 days before your reservation, it will be sent to your Disney Resort hotel.

    Please keep in mind that colors, styles, and choices change frequently. While researching your question, I noticed a Disney Villain MagicBand that looks wickedly wonderful, and I might have to buy this one for myself! If you find a style that you absolutely love, it's probably a good idea to order it, as you never know what selections will be available from day to day.

    Once you receive your MagicBand+, be sure it is linked to your profile. It should be connected; however, you can always follow the instructions in this link. 

    Shannon, I hope this information helps you purchase your MagicBand+. As you continue to plan your trip, feel free to stop by again. We love talking dining, shows, attractions, and anything that makes a Walt Disney World vacation magical for you. Follow us on Instagram and have the most wonderful vacation! 

    Happy planning!
