How long to get MagicBands?

After you book a room, how long does it take to get MagicBands? Lets say I book for a stay in early December. When can I expect to get the bands?

Disney hasn't announced the final plan yet, but as it stands now, resort guests with check in dates of Nov 30th or earlier have been able to customize their MagicBands around 60 days out. Some guests have had to wait longer and some could do it earlier than 60 days. Then you have 30 days before check in date to customize them before they ship. There is no guarantee that this schedule will continue once it goes live.

December hasn't been opened up yet. So none of the resort guests with December check in dates have been able to get MB's or fp+'s yet. No one, except Disney, knows when that will change.

I was given eight days to customize my MB's after booking last month. Customized them late the second day of the eight-day window, received a UPS Quantum overnight shipping notice early the third day, had them in-hand by noon on the fourth day.
So, to answer you question _ depends on when you customize but you should have them within two days of customizing them. Just look for a Quantum ship notification for a package from NGE of Tennessee

You'd hope so, wouldn't you.

As was said, they ship 30 days before your trip.

Our 30 day was yesterday. I went on last night and the site said they were being customized and would then ship. Got them around 9:30 this morning.

Which makes me think that they were already customized and on their way BEFORE yesterday. Wonder if anyone changed their customization at the last minute? Which band would they/did they receive?

You do not get them within 2 days of customization. Right now you get them 2 days after your customization window closes. You generally get to customize your bands up until your 30-day mark. They are processed the next day and then shipped overnight. Even if you customize them at the 60 day mark, they will not be processed and shipped until your window closes at the 30 day mark...at least right now.

There have been many rumors that Disney will stop over-nighting the bands once MM+ is fully rolled out. For right now, however, that is the way they are being shipped.

According to UPS, they weren't. Went next day air.
