Magic Band colors without choosing?

[IrishNYC]

i made a last minutes resort reservation on Wednesday for arrival tomorrow. I couldn't customize our MBs, so will we just get gray or do the resorts stock colors?

I believe you always get gray if you haven't customized your band ahead of time. At least the one time we had a very last minute reservation, that's what happened.

 

[BigAlsGal]

Yep. Gray.

 

[IrishNYC]

That's what I thought. Thanks!

That's what they give you by default. However, last time we were there, my husband asked if he could get a better color. She went in the back and found him the color he wanted.

A better color? Gray goes with everything!

I think most resorts have a few colors. They might have every color, but you could ask if they have anything other than gray.

DGD choose grey 150 days out under the same philosophy. Dropping pink as a fav colour is hard work.

No idea but have some spur of the moment fun in DW! I'm thinking to do the same for a bounce-back offer to defray costs on our December trip.

We've been given a choice and been told they only have gray. You can always dress up the gray with accessories.

This weekend at the Beach Club they had color options but were out of blue.

We did a real last minute trip in 2013. After a week of blizzards, DW and I booked flights and CBR on Friday and flew out on Saturday. The lady at CBP was a little suspicious about such a last minute flight booking but once we described the weather at home, she simply said "I sure can't blame you for that." It was one of our best trips ever. We bought these silly lime green "Goofy Spring Break" t-shirts and we still refer to that one as our "Goofy trip".

Have a fantastic time!

There may be some infrequent exceptions, but usually your only choice is the "grey band of shame".

I booked a last minute stay at CB once. All they had left was either yellow or pink. No gray left at all that day.

I always choose the grey band of shame.

My theory is it matches everything and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb in photos.

When and how do you order Magic Bands? We travel in December

If you have old ones, they will work.

When and how do you order Magic Bands? We travel in December

On computer-based MDE - select MagicBands and Cards from the dropdown menu and you will see 'Magic Band Orders' and a Get Started button for your reservation

On Mobile MDE - select see all plans, click on your resort reservation, on the bottom lefthand side 'Choose MagicBands'

I already have more than a few MBs, but I selected red for my October visit and green for my December visit so I will have both colors for my first visit during the Christmas season at WDW.

I chose my color and name and it says pending so will they automatically sent to me? Is there a charge?

They will be mailed to you a few weeks before your trip (provided you live in the US). As your trip gets closer, keep checking that same page and you can see when they are shipped out. There is no charge if you are staying at a Disney resort. It's so fun when you get them in the mail!
