I remember when MagicBands were complimentary with your Disney resort vacation. Disney has since stopped that, but you can still buy MagicBands and use them for various things, but first, you have to know where to buy MagicBands.
Disney World is a theme park in Florida that has something for everyone – from rides and attractions tailored for kids to wild adventures with thrills for adults. But we want to know about getting our hands on some MagicBands!
You can use your MagicBand to enter the park, unlock your hotel room, buy food and drinks, and more.
There are a few different ways to get your hands on a MagicBand. If you’re staying at a Disney resort, then your band will be included in your reservation package. If you’re not staying at a Disney resort or don’t preorder them with your stay, there are still plenty of options!

On eBay
If you’re looking to buy a MagicBand and don’t want to wait, or if the Disney website doesn’t have the style you’re looking for, eBay might be the place for you.
Just do a quick search for “Disney MagicBands” and you’ll find a variety of bands – new and used – for sale.
There are sellers local to Disney World who purchase them onsite and then sell them online.
The variety on eBay is pretty broad as well so I would definitely take a look!
Do they sell MagicBands at the Disney Store?
Yes, Disney sells MagicBands at all of its physical stores at the Disney resort, as well as online.
However, if you mean your local Disney store then no you cannot buy MagicBands at physical Disney stores, not at the WDW resort.
So, there you have it – all of your options for purchasing a MagicBand! Whether you’re staying on-site at a Disney resort or grabbing one last-minute before heading to the parks, there’s a way.
Can you buy plain MagicBands?
Yes, you can buy plan/ color-only MagicBands. If you’re not staying at a Disney resort or didn’t preorder your MagicBand with your stay, there are still plenty of options!
Can you still use MagicBands this year?
Yes, you can use MagicBands in 2022 and beyond. They are not a one-time use band. When they were first released in 2013, as a Disney resort guest, you had to have them but now they are optional.
So, no matter where in Walt Disney World you are, you’ll be able to find a place to buy a MagicBand! And don’t forget, they make great souvenirs too.
