Collecting Disney Magic Bands the day before

Hi,

As ive booked through Disney i need to collect our Magic Bands from Disney Springs. We fly on 27th October so i put the first day as 28th but can i collect them after we land on the 27th? Or do i have to wait until the day they are meant to activate?

Thanks

I’ve done the same for June so am interested if anyone knows? I’ll obviously be able to report back if it’s ok after I try it in June.

Have you booked your holiday or just your tickets through Disney? If just park tickets, can you not just pick them up whenever you want? I presume they are only activated the first time you use them.

I would agree. If it’s just tickets pick them up whenever you want. If you’ve booked a package with tickets under an offer that depended on buying tickets, such as free dining, you collect magic bands at check in and your tickets are linked to your MDE account.

Hi all,

Ive booked just tickets, no accommodation. I believe normally you can just collect them whenever you want BUT the difference here is that i booked with an offer of free magic bands which states they have to be collected from Disney Springs. I just dont know if i can collect them the day before or not.

When i booked im sure i had to input the date they would need to be valid from, and i put the first full day as i know i wont be going to a park the evening i land.

So i dont know whether i can collect them before that or not.

You can collect the Magic Bands whenever, assuming your tickets are linked via My Disney Experience you just link the bands and then you can go to a park whenever you choose.

Your tickets will start on first entry to a park.

I never thought of it that way Lizzim, but of course you're correct.

You should already have your order/confirmation number that can be linked with your MDE account. The Magic Bands or physical tickets are just a way for the turnstiles to access MDE to check if you have access to the parks.

You can, I assume you have a voucher to swap for the magic bands?

And there should be no need to go to will call, your tickets will work on your bands as long as they are also linked. This is easy to do and if you have any issues you can visit guest relations at Disney Springs

Also, if you have Magic Bands linked to your MDE, you don't actually need physical tickets. The tickets and Magic Bands act in the same way.
