Magic Band for late add?

[notrub98]

My trip is in less than 30 days and my band has shipped. My Dad just asked to join me ... which is great but how do I go about getting him a magic band? Do I have to go to hotel? Was hoping to check in late to the hotel and head right to park from the airport as we will have a car... he doesn't think he still has any of his old bands.

He doesn't 'need' a band, but if he does want one and he's added onto your room you can just pick one up at the front desk for free. Or if it's still 14+ or so days out they may still ship it

My brother and kids decided joined me in my room a few weeks ahead of a scheduled trip this past November. We added them to our reservation we were told their Magic Bands would be waiting at the registration desk. They picked them up there without an issue.

Even at less than 30 days if you modify the reservation to add him it will add his band to customize and it might be shipped if there's enough time. Otherwise you'd pick it up at the hotel. Assuming he has either bought or will be buying a ticket that still can be used for entry so you can head straight to the park and then just get the band when you check in and he can use that for the rest of the stay.

buying a ticket has nothing to do with getting a resort magic band. buying a ticket never gets you a magicband it's all about being on a resort reservation.. If he is on the reservation, you should be able to customize him a band. As mentioned it may still ship by itself to you, it might be shipped to the resort and last resort, he'll get a grey uncustomized one at the resort.

I assumed he was staying with them onsite and would get a MB just like the poster had already gotten theirs since they were asking about him getting the MB even though they had already customized. If he is not staying with him then no, buying a ticket does not get them a MB. But, staying onsite you can still use the actual ticket if you have that and don't have to use the MB. Or you can use either of them as long as you have the ticket linked to the MDE account with the MB.
