Has any Annual Passholders gotten their magic bands yet?

[DisneyMarv]

I actually have 4 (2 for kids, 2 for me and my wife).

- My kids were the first to be customized. It was about two weeks ago. They were both colored bands. They have Florida Deluxe Resident Passes.

- Next, I got to customize mine. My band is just gray. This was a few days later. I also have a Deluxe Resident Pass. I got a "shipped!" email three days ago.

- Then I got a notification for my wife. Hers is colored. She has a Premiere Passport. This was about a week ago. (now it looks like her's has also shipped, but I haven't gotten a tracking email yet)

i'm really hoping i get a notification by tomorrow i also had the option to customize two AP Magic Bands since mines expired now in April so i Renewed it and gave me a Second Choice of a MB but still no luck on any shipping confirmation.

I customized ours last week. I got an email yesterday telling me that they've been shipped.

Mine says what's mentioned above...will ship in mid March, but I leave Saturday for the World and mostlikely without my magic bands

FP+ have already been scheduled...would have been nice to have them though, especially because I told my kids we would. Oh, well....

Customized sometime either last week or the week before got the e-mail today that it would ship. The USPS tracking system says that they have been notified that they have a package from the MB factory or whatever to pick up but so far nothing else.

Customized mine two weeks ago, both still say, "will ship in mid March".

We finally got ours two days ago (Tuesday). Each Magicband came in their own individual blue box. The side of the box says Walt Disney World Passholder and the top shows Mickey's arm (and part of his hand) with a red MB on it and the words MagicBand with the lime green circle with the green Mickey head off to the right of his arm. When you open it up, the band is on a black base that says Passholder at the top and has the AP holder's name at the bottom. When you lift the band out of it's slot there is a small royal blue slider in a little clear plastic bag underneath it, that says Passholder 2014 and has a pair of little black Mickey ears on the corner. Be sure to lift the black base out of the box though, because beneath it is a blue folder that has a flyer telling you how to use the magicband and also a gold card that says WDW Passholder on the front and has the passholder's name, expiration date of their AP, says Discount Card and then has the word Parking written in a little gold box and has a grayed area for you to sign. The silly things came just in time though. We are flying out tomorrow morning at 0600 CT.

Your name is also printed on the inside of the band. I got pink, my husband got blue, and my mom's is green.

Glad I happened upon this thread!
I had no idea passholders could order the MBs yet!
Gonna get ours figured out and ordered tonight!

DD15 is all pouty because she doesn't get one.
Didn't go with us to Disney in sep/nov, so we didn't renew her pass.
LOL!!!
Ahhhhh, a sweet revenge for her "teenage-itude"!

I'll post some pictures here of the box and what comes in it tomorrow if no one else does by then.

I ordered mine on 3/16 late evening, so hopefully soon! I haven't gotten an e-mail yet.

I customized and ordered mine last week and got an email this morning that they've been shipped and received tracking #. What I did want to say though was that we went to Magic Kingdom yesterday and our cards worked for the FP+s that I reserved online last week. So, even if you don't get your magic bands before you go, your cards will work if you've reserved them online.

We got 3 of our 4 MBs today. We ordered them on 3/9. Not sure why we're missing just 1, but it's on the way also. Also included a card to use for discounts, parking, etc. and a Passholder 2014 slider for the bands. The boxes clearly said PASSHOLDERS on them. Kinda a nice touch...

Have a question.

I am planning a surprise trip for my wife and buying annual passes for the first time. Were from NY.

So I want to get the annual passes ordered over the phone in advance of the 30 days FP+ for off site guests. Even though I have to redeem the AP voucher on site for the actual pass, will I still be able to order MBs with the voucher code so I can have the bands for the surprise before we leave?

I'm not Concerned about the shipping and that. But I want to know I can order APs and use the code to enter into MDX for the band.

Thanks!

Mine still says being customized and will ship soon.

Received the shipping notification today. Oddly, the notification went to the linked account of the other passholder and not me (I'm the one that customized them). Both MagicBands are being sent to the same address.

It seems they released orders for existing AP holders but it is not immediate for new AP purchases. I have 2 APs but had to buy one more a couple of weeks ago. An order for the 2 I already had was processed and is shipping now. I am still waiting for the system to open an order for a MB for the newly purchased AP. I did of course link the new purchase into my MDE account using the WILS reservation # successfully.

I cannot make FP+ reservations for the new AP either ... we are going in 3 weeks and I can do it for the 2 I already have but it tells me the third person with the new AP linked is ineligible for MyMagic+. Grrrr.

 

[DisneyMarv]

got my shipping notification today coming through U.S Postal.

 

[drlaurafsu]

I got mine yesterday. They come in a different box...Mickey-themed. And include a 2014 Passholder slider.

 

[WDWLoveForever]

I'm new here, and put our order in on March 7th, and still anxiously waiting my magic band. I noticed the status has changed from "shipping in mid-march" to "will ship soon"

Hopefully We'll get ours soon!

That's frustrating! I'm going to call mine in so I can ask questions as we go. We're going May 18-25 and I'll be ordering in a week or so, so right now I'm at 59days. Hoping that's sufficient amount of time to get the MBs and FP+.

For those who have gotten the magic bands already would any of you be willing to post a photo of the passholder box?
