Disney Cruise Line announced that the DisneyBand+ will now be available for use on the Disney Dream ship starting November 20, 2023.
The band functionality is currently available on the Wish, Fantasy, and Magic ships already. They give you another way to open your cabin door, charge purchases to your cabin, and enhance your shipboard experience with fun sounds and lights. It is not required though and you will still get the current key cards.
The DisneyBand+ is the same as the MagicBand+ at the Disney parks and in fact, will work at both locations if you have one. There are some cool cruise designs but it doesn’t matter what the design is or where you buy it from – cruise ship, park, online. You can link the same one to both your park and cruise apps.
If you have a cruise booked on one of the enabled ships, you will see the link to purchase a MagicBand+ in your reservation 45 days before your sail date. That means those of you on that Nov 20th sailing can buy them now. You can’t buy from there before your 45th day if you have a farther sailing, though you can buy from other sources sooner.
You also have to buy them at least 10 days before your sail date so they have time to mail them to you, though I recommend at least two weeks, and don’t forget to factor in extra days if you’ll be leaving home sooner than your sail date.
Do you think you’ll get a DisneyBand+?
As always, feel free to contact me if you want to chat about booking a cruise.
