23 days, yeah! No Magic Bands...boo!

[DaisyNY]

Wee're leaving on Dec 14 and MB arrived yesterday...our last day to personalize was Nov 14th so I thought they came rather quickly. Also received a DVC member slide to put on the bands. First time we've received them...the countdown begins!

I've been keeping up with this thread so didn't think my MB's would ship until atleast Friday (21 days) but got tracking number today at 23 days.

Just an FYI. I'm excited as this was part of the reveal to my kiddos and didn't want to get them at the resort. I hope all that are waiting get theirs soon.

We arrive December 6 and our bands are sitting at a post office in Memphis. I really wish there was a way to escalate this sort of things. How is this magical? I'm traveling so won't see them until the 3rd, assuming they ship. I'll be decorating them on the plane.

Check-in date is 12/7
MB's received yesterday 11/18 ( so... 19 days prior)

protected from what? they are made from very durable rubber. just slap them on your wrist when you are about to leave. No packing necessary, just wear 'em

last thing you want is to pack them somewhere you cant get to when you arrive at WDW and you need them

I'll be at Darkside for 4 days first

Just curious...did you receive a shipping confirmation prior to them arriving? Our Disney stay starts December 13th, MDE has been hanging at "Your MagicBand order is being personalized. Check back soon for shipping details." since day 30. This will be our third trip with MBs but the first time we've seen such a delay like this.

We arrive Dec 11 and I received an email today that they have shipped, so you should hear soon.

I know you didn't ask me but I will respond too We check in on Dec 4th.

we had the same status as you up until about the 20 day out, then it switch to shipping with a tracking number. We also got an email the same day saying they have shipped BUT it was blocked by my email spam blocker..

This is our forth trip and the first time its been delayed as well. I'm thinking 20 days out is the new standard.

At 22 days from check-in, MDE updated the bands for the first half of our split stay with a tracking number. But when I follow the link to the USPS.com website it has just say "Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS" all day. So I'm not sure what that means. Hopefully they will ship tomorrow.

Yeah that sounds right.. I think the tracking, shipping label is generate at Disney and that is when you get the tracking number but USPS doesn't actually recognize the package until they physically scan the package as picked up..
it will be different tomorrow.
