magic bands for July 2020 trip

[westfamilyof5]

I went to order Magic Bands for our July 2020 trip at OKW, we have 1 new traveler going that will not have a magic band from a previous trip. Is there a way to order Magic Bands now for upcoming trips? MDE shows I have 6 days left to order, but no place to order. Normally wouldn't be a problem, but with the contact-less check in and pay speculation, we would like to make sure everyone has a magic band.

On the MDE website, don't select "My MagicBands & Cards" from the MDE drop down menu. Instead, click the order link that's available where it shows your upcoming reservation.

My Aug 4th trip also doesn't allow me to order magic bands. We even have a split stay on cash and DVC. I think their system isn't fully working or activated it would appear.

I was able to order our bands for our July 19 trip last night. People are reporting today that there have been changes to the website and app (removal of FP+ button), so maybe once they are done messing around with it, you’ll be able to order.

I haven't ordered yet, but it gives me the option to choose bands.

I just had a chat on disneyworld.com with a CM about this, and she sent me a form to fill out, I submitted it, and then I was able to choose my bands for my 7/20 trip. She said they are starting with magic bands today, so by tomorrow I would think all the kinks would be worked out. It only let me pick the free ones, none of the premium colors or themed ones.

Ours shipped yesterday for our July 2nd trip. They will be helpful to check into our room and charge more money to our room at the pool bar!
