Can you buy magic Bands before you enter the parks?

[Christopher Beushausen]

i am staying offsite this time around and I’m wondering if I can just buy my magic bands before I enter the parks at the entrance? I am going to Hollywood studios first. Just trying to avoid a shipping charge if possible!

Also how much are the solid bands at Disney? Online they are 14.99 for solid.

Thanks

Are you buying tickets online? And do you already have mb from previously trips?
If you are then you can link the tickets to your mde account and link them to each person that already has amb
If you're buying tickets at the park then they're able to give you a physical ticket when you do so

Not sure any of the shops located directly outside of a Theme Park sell Magic Bands. Obviously, you can purchase them once inside the Theme Park.

You can also buy them at Disney Springs and the gift shops in many Disney Hotels. The Shop Disney Parks mobile app can show you where on property a particular MagicBand should be in stock.

If you are flying, I believe that the Disney EarPort store at MCO sells them.

As for prices, they are the same when purchasing direct from Disney (on-property, Disney Store or the Shop Disney Parks mobile app).

When we stay offsite we buy our tickets from undercover tourist and buy our magic bands online at shopdisney.com so that we can get everything and everybody linked beforehand. It was worked perfectly for us.

In my opinion the shipping price is a small price to pay to avoid the hassle and time spent trying to purchase them after you've arrived.

You can buy them outside the park at the ticket window. My friend did this last time because she felt left out. We were all wearing ours. Then the lady at the booth just linked it for us to the ticket she had already purchased online before our trip. I think it was $12.99, but it may have been 14.99.

Yes, you can buy them from the Disney site online, and if you spend a certain amount, shipping can be free. Just got my six-pack of bands for May yesterday! Make sure you download the My Disney Experience App and then connect your Magic Bands to the App for your Fast Passes.
