What is a MagicBand?
MagicBands are colorful wristbands that link to your Walt Disney World vacation entitlements and make it easy to access your park tickets, unlock your hotel door, and charge in-park purchases back to your room or to a linked credit card.
If you've added Disney Genie+ to your park ticket, you'll use your MagicBand to tap into the Lightning Lane entrance at attractions you book throughout the day.
When your MagicBand box arrives in the mail, you know your Walt Disney World vacation is just around the corner!
All New MagicBand+ Now available.
Beginning July 27, 2022 MagicBand+ is now available for the Walt Disney World. MagicBand+ have all of the great features of the MagicBand, but they also bring guests into the magic with three unique experiences.
Disney Fab 50 Quest
As part of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebration, you can interact with the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection throughout all four theme parks with the “Disney Fab 50 Quest.” Help Tinker Bell bring the sculptures to life across all four Walt Disney World theme parks using virtual pixie dust from Tink.
While wearing MagicBand+, wave your hand to sprinkle virtual pixie dust at each Disney Fab 50 Character sculpture for different reactions! To unlock even more, use the Play Disney Parks app to collect the sculptures and enter the worlds of favorite characters through an augmented reality feature.
Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters
On Batuu, the bounty hunting business is booming. MagicBand+ is the guide to seeking numerous virtual bounties hidden across Black Spire Outpost with the Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters experience. Vibrations and lights on MagicBand+ guide you down the right path. When you find your Bounty, use the Play Disney Parks app’s augmented reality thermal viewer to reveal who’s hiding in the shadows. Local guild master Raga Bua will reward guests with galactic credits.
Nighttime Spectaculars
MagicBand+ brings the magic of Disney nighttime spectaculars closer than ever before during “Disney Enchantment” at Magic Kingdom Park and “Harmonious” at EPCOT! MagicBand+ complements the magic in the skies, lighting up and vibrating in sync with fireworks, visual effects, and music. MagicBand+ will also engage as all four theme park icons transform into Beacons of Magic!
How Do I Get One?
When you book a Walt Disney World vacation package, you can purchase MagicBands at a discounted, pre-arrival price through your My Disney Experience account. There's a variety of solid colors and designs to choose from, and you can even customize the inside of each band with the owner's name. MagicBands purchased through your My Disney Experience account will be automatically linked to your resort reservation, and will be mailed directly to you.
I recommend ordering your MagicBand or MagicBand+ 1 - 2 months prior to your departure date.
Keep in mind the following shipping timelines:
10-6 Days Before Your Trip: Choose your MagicBand and print your name. MagicBands will ship only to your Resort.
5-1 Days Before Your Trip: MagicBand selection is no longer available.
If you made a ticket-only purchase, don't worry! MagicBands can also be purchased through ShopDisney.com or in the parks. These bands will have a code printed on the back of the "puck" and will need to be manually linked to your My Disney Experience account.
Step One
Log into your My Disney Experience account and select My Magic Bands and Cards from the drop down menu.
Step Two
Click on each guest to view available designs and make selections.
Step Three
Once you're chosen your band, follow the prompts to complete your order!
