question about magicbands

[nlginny]

I have the plastic cards which are my park tickets, they were mailed to us. But I would like to get magicbands. We are staying offsite. Has anyone here from Canada had them shipped to you? If so, where did you order them from? Im wondering if the Disney store in Toronto had them and would ship them to me so I could have them set up before we get to wdw.

I don't think you can purchase them in Canada, and they can't be shipped to Canada from the US. If you are staying off site you don't need them if you have the plastic card they sent you. If you really want a magic band they can be purchased in the park and then they will link it with your MDE.

As jae1974 said. Disney does not ship Magic Bands to Canada. Even when you stay onsite and order your customized bands, you have to have the bands "shipped" to your resort.
Your best option is to purchase the Magic Bands at a WDW gift shop once you arrive. They'll run you about $13 U.S. apiece. Then you'll have to go to Guest Services to have them linked to your MDE account.
Have a great trip!

One thing you can do is have the magic bands shipped to your hotel. Now timing can get a bit tricky but as you have a reservation and let the front desk know in advance they will have the package when you arrive, at which point you can sync the bands with your card.

I did do this when getting jazz shoes for my 4yo daughter ($12 online vs $60 in store. And you thought amusement parks had a high markup.) which coincided with a business trip of mine.
