Magic Band ?

[cjnettles]

Just booked a trip for March 15-March 22. Woo Hoo, Husband is taking me for Spring Break. My question is, I have booked my Resort Reservation (Coronado Springs), Got all my ADR's (got everything we wanted), ordered our Magic Bands and AP's. My question is, how long does it take for your magic band's to be shipped, when can I expect them, and I ordered my tickets online, and when I tried to book FP+, it says the confirmation # cannot be linked. I called and the CM told me it takes up to 24 hours for the ticket to get in the system and then I should have no problem making FP+ reservations. Did anyone else have to wait that long? Just curious, I know we are only 32 days out and and may not get everything we want, but I am so excited to start making those reservations.
Thanks so much
CJ

My question is,

1- how long does it take for your magic band's to be shipped, when can I expect them, and

2- I ordered my tickets online, and when I tried to book FP+, it says the confirmation # cannot be linked.

3- I called and the CM told me it takes up to 24 hours for the ticket to get in the system and then I should have no problem making FP+ reservations.

4- Did anyone else have to wait that long? Just curious, I know we are only 32 days out and and may not get everything we want, but I am so excited to start making those reservations.
Thanks so much

1- Figure that they will arrive two or three days after the deadline they gave you to "customize" them.

2- Sounds familiar.

3- Did you order the tickets to be shipped to you, or did you order them "Will Call?"

4- Stories of all kinds abound.

Thanks so much for your reply. I called Disney and a very nice Cast Member got my tickets linked, my FP+ reservations are made, and I am very excited about trying it out. I have decided to not have an opinion about FP+ until I try it out for myself. I was able to get reservations at the headliners for times I am very satisfied with, around my dining reservations. We go to Disney on average 25+ days a year, and it is just a magical every time, so I expect the same this time.

We are going at the exact same time! On My Disney Experience page, it says that our Magic Bands will be mailed on Feb. 13th (which is 30 days before we check in). Glad you got your tickets linked and you can start working in FP+. I'm still tweaking Dining Reservations and FP+. I would like to move up the time of two of my ADR, but haven't been able to yet. But everything is looking good otherwise.
