Buy magic bands while in UK?

[mikeishere]

Is there anywhere I can purchase magic bands in the uk before my trip, instead of getting them while at Disney? Would be better if I can buy them in advance.

I think tickets are cheaper there so I'd probably do that, I think they still have 14 day.

Unfortunately not. When they were free, we couldn't have them shipped to us, we had to collect them at reception when checking in. There is an offer on a third party ticket seller's website for free magic bands with purchase of Disney tickets, but they have to be collected from Disney Springs. If you're staying on site, they're available in the resort shop, which is usually near to check in, albeit the designs may be the most basic.

I think the OP was asking about Magic Bands, not the actual theme park tickets.

You can find them on EBay, but generally more expensive than buying while at WDW.

You can’t transfer Magic Bands from one person to another unless they are a direct family member.

You could just use your phone for a day or two and head to somewhere like Vineland Character Warehouse, lots of $20 bands there or at resort/parks will be $35-45

No, but you can buy unused/unlinked MagicBands on e-bay and they were about $10 to $15 less than on Disney property (not ordering thru MDE). I've done it quite a few times and had no issues.
