Purchase Magic Band in the UK?

Is it possible to purchase Magic Bands in the UK? We are staying off-site in August and would like to buy two Magic Bands before we go, but I've not been able to find somewhere to buy them in the UK.

No. I believe you can buy them from eBay though. It’s up to you but I’d be inclined to just wait and get them there.

I have a MyUs account and have purchased off the US Disney site and got them sent to me that way - we wanted particular ones that we couldn't get though MDE so that was the easiest way to do it. - you can get a free trial still I believe and shipping is a lot less than disney.

The simple answer is no. Disney don't sell or ship to the UK.

There's workarounds if you use a third party; you can pick them up on Ebay; they're sometimes sold on here.

Personally, I would wait until you get there.

That’s what I’ve just done for my parents, we have ours from last year but they needed some, and I can’t be bothered with the faffing around when we get there do have ordered them, just waiting on them being delivered.

I cannot see any benefit to having them before you go, you can't do anything with them, not even skip the check in queue and go straight to room as offsite. Buy them first thing when you arrive.

Attraction tickets currently include free Star Wars magic bands with park tickets atm. Which saves us having to purchase over in Florida.

They still don’t send you the magic band, you have to go to planet Hollywood in Disney springs to collect. So no easier really than buying them when in Orlando.

Ty. That’s news to me, looks like a diversion to DS then on the way up from Miami.

Yep I must admit we are purely getting them because we like the ones on the shop disney site rather than any practical reason but we have found their service really good
