Keep checking the app it tell you hen you have some to customize and confirm your address. It should tell you when you have to customize them I am going oct 27 and I have to sept 25 to customize them before they mail them out to me.

Well, I checked a few weeks ago when I signed onto my My Disney Experience account, and nothing.
Then, this Friday I called Disney and confirmed my Magical Express stuff and last night (Sunday) I checked online and there were the Magic Bands.
I am not sure if confirming our trip over the phone had anything to do with it?

We are traveling to Disney October 23rd for 4 nights.

Also, I should note, that while I was able to customize the bands, I was NOT able to choose any sort of Fast Pass rides. The website said we were not within our traveling window to choose- but didn't give me a date to check back.

I hope this helps. I'm kindof clueless on the new system--- I was on top of Disney everything until the MB, they threw me for a loop!

Thanks everyone - we aren't leaving until December and are staying at AoA so I don't know if Magic Bands will be all over the park yet or not - Do you just see them when you log into MyExperience? So far I just get the note about checking them out to see what they are....but I go in and keep my stuff updated - just in case

Since your going in dec it my be a little longer before they allow you to customize them. When you log in click magic band and it tell you you had some to customize.

try in nov or keep checking around your 60 day mark to see if you have them. Bu for now link all your members to your account so when you customize your you can customize all of them.

Thanks! I just went there and got this message:

Whether you have a MagicBand wristband or touch to enter admission card—or both—you are seamlessly connected to your reservations, park admission and other plans and purchases. Learn More

Unless you have an order currently in process, you may still need to link them to your account.

so I am guessing I am just too far out - hoping they will be there when it is closer

I got a letter last week sent through ups and just got my bands today. We leave to go on the 6th.

Can someone help me too? I'm 66 days away from our trip and I have booked the Magic Your Way package with tickets and dining. When I go on the MDE app or website, my tickets have not been linked and its not showing anything for the Magic Bands. It shows where to go but there is nothing there. Will this change automatically when I do online check in at 60 days? The trip will not be paid off at that point, will that matter? My last payment will be made a week later.

Online check in doesn't change a thing. Some say it has but I didn't do it and didn't get notice til almost a couple of wks before our trip. I just kept checking my MDE account and there it was.

Ok, duh...this may be obvious, but I just realized that I have to actually have tickets purchased to be able to pick out my fast passes. Haha... makes perfect sense. Going to buy my park tickets tomorrow. LOL I just usually wait until I get to the resort to do everything. I'm not used to this advanced EVERYTHING. Geez. It's exhausting.

Yes then your be able to make fast pass plus without needing the magic band.

Then you be getting them when you get to Disney did you heck the app where it says tickets and see. On the app when you go to make fast pass plus reservations dose it say need valid park Admission or just outside your booking window. You may want to call and ask Disney they maybe able to help you at least link your tickets or let you know what to do. Right now their so many Unanswered questions I just found out I may not be able to link my pass to the magic band since it a premier pass and Disneyland dose not have RFID yet. But I called and they was able to help link it to the app so I can make fast pass plus. They are going to have to do something for guest who book packages either send tickets early or give them the pass number so they can enter it into the app. Making you wait to you get their defeat the porpoise of them in the first place and they don't want people not to buy packages because they loose money. Since it still testing and slowly being rolled out to more resorts and guest they still seeing what they need to fix. So your best bet is to call Disney tech or Disney reservation and of they need they can transfer to to them.
