For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.
As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Walt Disney World Resort Guests will no longer receive complimentary Magic Bands for their upcoming trips. Today, we’ve learned of another complimentary item that will no longer be shipped to your home beginning in 2021.
Disney World Resort Perks
One of the many perks of staying on Disney property for your Walt Disney World vacation is the free magic bands that you will receive!
Disney Guests recently learned that beginning in 2021, complimentary Magic Bands will no longer be offered to resort Guests.
Magic Bands are still available for purchase at discounted rates for Guests staying on Walt Disney World property.
Another change for Resort Guests
Today, Disney updated Guests on yet another change to one of the fun complimentary offerings for Disney Resort Guests.
Beginning January 1, 2021, luggage tags and Walt Disney World Magical extras will no longer be mailed ahead of time to Guests booking a Disney Resort hotel reservation or vacation package.
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE getting these luggage tags in the mail! Receiving these as part of my Magic Band package always added an extra layer of anticipation for my trip!
We even use them outside of our Disney trips! My children love to hang them on their backpacks for school.
If you’re disappointed by this change, I get it! The good news is, it is still possible to get our favorite luggage tags and Magical Extras cards.
Guests may pick up their Complimentary Luggage Tags and magical extras at the front desk any time during their walt Disney WOrld resort stay.
So while you won’t be getting them ahead of time, the good news is you can still get them! I know I’ll be stopping by the front desk on my next trip for mine!
What are your thoughts on not receiving complimentary luggage tags or Magical Extras ahead of your trip? Let us know on Kenny the Pirate’s Facebook Page, or join our crew and continue the discussion!
Share the love!

They have taken away all the things that added to the magic of Disney, now it is pay extra for all these things. I won’t be going back to my former Happy Place. What a Big mistake

I understand the reasoning behind it but Disney slowly is taking more and more away from the magical experience.

We have been to Disney many times and have way too many magic bands and luggage tags already. So not receiving more for our trip in 3 weeks is better for us. Especially since magic bands can be used for a few years. If it’s your first trip or you skip a few years between trips then I can understand the desire to receive more of each. But I also do not like the plastic waste generated. Besides would you rather ticket prices go up to cover the cost of these “free” items, which have a cost to Disney? Or for people who want the bands to buy them?

Ain't nothing free at Disney! It's all built into the cost of the expensive ticket prices. Moves they are making are to make their margins look better. Same when they got rid of the little bottles of shampoo.
