Disney World Ends Pre-Arrival MagicBand+ Discount for Hotel Guests and Passholders

An unannounced price alignment signals another rollback of small guest perks.

Overview

  • Effective today, Disney removed the pre-arrival discount language from its website, and Cast Members confirmed the perk’s discontinuation.
  • Pre-order pricing now matches retail at $34.99 for solid colors and $44.99 for themed designs, replacing typical savings of about $10 per band.
  • Resort guests and Annual Passholders can still pre-select and receive bands before a stay, but pre-orders no longer offer a lower price.
  • The move follows earlier reductions to MagicBand benefits, including the end of complimentary bands and limits on international pre-arrival access.
  • Outlets advise using MagicMobile, reusing older bands, watching ShopDisney sales, or buying from verified third-party retailers to avoid paying full price.
