Ahoy there, Laura!
I'm absolutely delighted to welcome you aboard planDisney! How exciting that you have a Disney Cruise Line vacation right after the start of the New Year. Honestly, what better way to sail into 2026 than with Mickey and friends? It's such a magical way to kick off a brand-new year. You're going to have the very best time!
You have a couple of options when it comes to purchasing a
DisneyBand+ (or MagicBand+, as it's called in the Disney Parks). If you're hoping to get one of the exclusive Disney Cruise Line designs, the easiest method is to log into your account on the Disney Cruise Line website. From the top menu, hover over "Already Booked" and select "My Reservations." Scroll until you see the "Get Started" button. Click it, choose the Guest you're buying the band for, and you'll be able to browse designs and complete your purchase. You'll even be able to customize your DisneyBand+ with your name (printed on the inside), as long as you order at least 11 days before your sailing.
Your other option is to purchase a MagicBand+ from the
Disney Store website, which offers a wide variety of styles. Once you have the band in hand, you'll be able to link it to your Disney Cruise Line account by returning to the "Already Booked" section on the website, selecting "My Account," and then choosing "DisneyBand+ and More."
Just a friendly reminder to be sure to download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app before your voyage. This little app is pure magic at your fingertips and will make your sailing so much easier and more fun! You can use it to check daily activities, entertainment schedules, dining rotations, deck plans, and even send messages to your travel party right within the app. It's an incredibly handy tool that helps you stay on top of everything happening onboard and makes planning your days a breeze.
Laura, I hope you have the very best voyage on your Disney Cruise Line sailing. If you have any other questions as you finalize your plans, you're always welcome here at planDisney!
SEAS the day,
Kami
