Magic Bands for short notice booking?

[William Ades]

Forgive me and please refer me to it if there is a Thread about this topic, but I was able to finally get booked (partially anyway) for a trip next weekend!! How does it work in terms of the Magic Bands? I have plenty from previous trips so I'm not concerned about having one in general, but we are trying to collect them all (standard colors). Being such short notice will they still magically appear in my mailbox, will they give them to us in the Lobby of the resort, or are we just SOL? Again...no big deal, just curious. TIA!!

Not enough time to mail them to you. Bands still in your MDE account may be used, battery life is around two years. The front desk can issue gray colored bands to you when you check in if needed.

From https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/bands-cards/customizing-period/:

• If you customize your MagicBand at least 11 days before you arrive at your Disney Resort hotel, it will be shipped to your home.
• If you customize your MagicBand between 10 days and 6 days before you arrive at your Disney Resort hotel, you will receive it when you arrive at your Disney Resort hotel.
• If you do not customize your MagicBand until 5 days or less before your arrival, you will receive a non-customized MagicBand when you arrive at your Disney Resort hotel.

MagicBand orders cannot be shipped to all countries.
