    I'm planning a surprise Galaxy's Edge visit for my SO. I was going to get bands for the reveal but heard there are more options in the park. Should I look at Disney Springs Sunday night? Or wait to purchase in park on Monday and let him choose?

    Hey there, Haley! Welcome to planDisney! 

    It sounds like you have a super special Walt Disney World visit in the works. How exciting! You and your significant other are going to have the best time at Hollywood Studios and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. And the experience will be that much more immersive with MagicBand+

    You are correct that there are more MagicBand+ options for sale at Walt Disney World retail locations than online. World of Disney at Disney Springs has one of the biggest sections of MagicBand+, so that’s a great place to shop if your partner is particular and would like a lot of options. If you decide to purchase a MagicBand+ at Hollywood Studios, then you’ll want to stop by the Celebrity 5 & 10. It’s on Hollywood Boulevard, just past the park’s entrance, and it has a wide array of bands, as well as pins, hats, and other souvenirs. 

    I don’t think you can go wrong as far as the MagicBand+ selection is concerned. Both spots have a lot of designs to choose from. But you might consider buying your significant other’s band the night before so as not to take away from your time enjoying Hollywood Studios. By purchasing your new MagicBand+ the night before, you can make sure it’s activated, charged, and properly synced to his My Disney Experience account and ensure you spend more time exploring a galaxy far, far away.

    I hope this info helps with your vacation planning, Haley. Come right back to planDisney if you have any other questions or need other recommendations. We’re always happy to help! 

    Magical travels!
