Are you planning a trip to Disney World? If you’ve been doing some research, you may have noticed that a lot of people wear MagicBands to the parks and around the resorts. What are they? Are they necessary? Let’s talk about it!

Basically, a Disney MagicBand is a small device that acts as your room key, park ticket, and even a way to pay for food and souvenirs! These items are available for an additional fee, and while they aren’t required, tons of people find them super handy to have. Now, let’s take a look at where (and how) you can get ahold of a MagicBand before your next trip to Disney World!
Over on the Disney Store website, you can buy a MagicBand+ in a variety of colors! A few special colors just dropped online, like the MagicBand+ in Dark Pink.

Disney’s MagicBand+ device comes with all kinds of special features. For example, it’s got color-changing lights that interact with Disney’s nighttime shows, vibrations that correspond to various experiences, and even gesture recognition to enable “magical surprises” around the parks. Check it out on the shopDisney website now so you’re prepared for your trip!
We also noticed that shopDisney just released the MagicBand+ in Black.

If you’re looking for a simple MagicBand+ that matches every outfit, go with the plain black option! Don’t forget that MagicBand+ has Bluetooth pairing and can connect to smart devices!
Finally, we spotted a new MagicBand+ in Lilac on the Disney Store website.

As we mentioned, MagicBand+ allows you to enter the theme parks, check in at Lightning Lane entrances, link Disney PhotoPass photos to your Disney account, and so much more. These things are super handy to have!
In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney merchandise, so stay tuned for more.
