MagicBand+ is now available for select Disney Cruise Line guests to purchase online before their upcoming sailings. MagicBand+ will be known as DisneyBand+ on Disney Cruise Line and will be available for Disney Wish sailings beginning June 12.
DisneyBand+ Now Available
Guests sailing onboard the Disney Wish beginning June 12th and beyond, who are within 45-11 days of their sail date, are now invited to purchase a DisneyBand+.
With DisneyBand+, Guests will experience the newest technology at sea, and see all the ways in which DisneyBand+ can create magic on their sailing. From boarding the ship on embarkation day and accessing their stateroom, to charging specialty food and merchandise to the payment card on a stateroom folio and more, DisneyBand+ adds convenience, fun and more magic to a Disney cruise. Guests with a Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort MagicBand+ may also use it as a DisneyBand+ when sailing with Disney Cruise Line, starting with the Disney Wish preview.
DisneyBand+ is a waterproof, rechargeable wristband designed to enhance your Disney cruise experience. Wear your DisneyBand+ during your port arrival experience (available at US ports only) and enjoy hands-free convenience as you make your way on to the ship.
DisneyBand+ provides hands-free convenience throughout the ship and on shore at Disney Castaway Cay. Plus, enchanting surprises await! DisneyBand+ brings onboard magic to life with special interactions around the ship.
Key to the World cards will continue to be issued and can be used as they are today, including to access your stateroom and charging food and merchandise purchases to the payment card on your stateroom folio.
Your Key to the World and photo ID (for Guests 18 and older), will still be required to debark and embark at Ports of Call.
How to Purchase a DisneyBand+
Guests on select Disney Wish sailings can order a DisneyBand+ by visiting My Reservations between 11 and 45 days of their sail date, if their reservation is paid in full (while supplies last). Shipping is available to US addresses only (excluding PO Boxes, APO, FPO, DPO, or any cruise ports). There will also be a limited selection of bands available for purchase on board (while supplies last).
Solid bands cost $34.99, and themed designs cost $44.99, plus tax. Shipping is included.
The expected wait time for your DisneyBand+ is approximately 10 business days from the date of your order, unless otherwise noted.
You will not be able to return or exchange your band because DisneyBand+ is non-refundable.
Disney Cruise Line Silver Anniversary at Sea
Disney Cruise Line is celebrating 25 years of sailing with the Silver Anniversary at Sea celebration on select sailings from May through September 2023. The first Disney Cruise Line ship, Disney Magic, began its maiden voyage on July 30, 1998.
Mickey and Minnie are wearing new shimmering teal and white costumes for the anniversary celebration. The rest of their friends also have new costumes.
Guests will be invited to join the ship’s captain and cruise director on one evening of each cruise for a special anniversary toast. They will be joined by Captain Mickey and Captain Minnie in their new Silver Anniversary at Sea outfits and the toast will feature the anniversary’s new theme song.
Disney Cruise Line was the first cruise line ever to have a fireworks show at sea. A new 25th-anniversary fireworks display will be featured on some Silver Anniversary at Sea itineraries. The limited-time show features iconic Disney music and a new signature song. The show will be on most Bahamian, Caribbean, and Mediterranean sailings this summer.
A 25th anniversary pre-show is currently playing before the Disney Cruise Line sail away parties.
The anniversary of Disney Cruise Line also heralds the unveiling of a brand-new membership tier for Castaway Club, which recognizes returning Disney Cruise Line guests with exclusive rewards and perks. Honoring 25 years of Disney magic at sea, members will now earn the distinction of Pearl status after 25 Disney Cruise Line vacations. As the line’s biggest fans, Pearl members will unlock new at-home and onboard benefits. Check out the new Castaway Club lanyards and stateroom gifts.
The Shimmering Seas Collection of merchandise includes a Loungefly mini backpack, Spirit Jersey, and more. Check out some of the 25th anniversary merchandise and the Silver Anniversary pin.
There are also plenty of Silver Anniversary-inspired food and beverage items. Souvenirs include a popcorn bucket and a tumbler.
