Magic Bands for offsite guests ?

[Aaryana]

My parents decided very last minute to join me at Epcot for a day when we travel to Florida in June. The original plan was for me to go solo for a day. We are staying in Daytona Beach and just driving over for the one day. My parents want Magic Bands so they don't have to pull out the plastic cards for our FP+. We leave June 10. Should I order them now or wait until we get there to purchase them? I have an annual pass, so my band is taken care of. More important question... Somehow there are multiples of my parents listed in my MDE account. I never added them before. How do I make sure I'm assigning the band to the right person (i.e. the one with the ticket attached to it)? Or delete the duplicates before assigning the band. I've never used the website to activate a band, since all mine came direct from Disney with a hotel res. Thanks for all advice!

Edit: I'm on the borderline for timing to be able to receive them in time. 7 business days is 2 days before we leave. Refuse to pay $20 for 3 day ship and don't want to waste the money if they don't arrive on time. Do regular Disney stores have magic bands?

Personally, I'd do it in advance, so that you don't have to spend part of your one day at the park trying to deal with it. I'd buy the Magic Band and call Disney to have them help you straighten it all out on your MDE account.
