MagicBand Boxes

Hope they change them for next year. We aren't fans of the Incredibles. I know you don't wear that boxes ..... but still :) I wish you could customize your boxes too - that would be so cool, because mine would be TIGGER :D
 

Does each band get its own box, or do they all come together?

I got one box per Reservation. One Reservation has four people and they fit. If you have five or six or more in the reservation I don't know if they would all fit in one box.

I wish they didn't even come in the boxes. It's a complete waste of money in my opinion throw them in a bag and let it be. Or better yet pick up at the resort to check in. All these costs are to get transferred over to ticket price increases over the years. The biggest waste of money is sending them overnight. There is completely no reason for that.

If you customized them, but had to pick them up at the resort instead of having them shipped, do they still come in boxes?

Yes. I saw them getting picked up at the resort last week at the front desk and they were in the same Mrs Incredible box. We customized ours and they were shipped overnight. We received them in 1 day. We were there a week and used them everywhere. They worked great and FP+ worked perfectly. We had no issues or complications - we linked our AP's and scheduled our FP's which we often changed on the fly as our plans changed. I am very optimistic about the future.
 
heh - the box is much larger/bulkier than it actually needs to be, so we tossed it after we took a million pictures. I love the Incredibles, but the box isn't much of a Collector's Item ;)
 
We got Incredibles, too. We got it about 20 minutes ago. All 4 of our MB's came in the one box. There's much more packaging than there needs to be. On the UPS shipping notices, the total weight was listed as .9 pound. I'd guess .8 of the .9 pound was packaging.

We took a bunch of photos, but yes, the box is otherwise going straight into the recycle bin.

Yes, ours are customized and we picked them up at POP in the boxes.

And, we are definitely saving the box!
 
If the box is that big, and it has Incredibles on it, DS, a major packrat is going to want the box. I think I will convince DH that we should specify resort pick-up (that DOES exist, right?), so that the box can be discarded since it will not fit into the luggage.

I'm thinking the same thing if we get MBs in Jan. I have TWO pack rat children, so getting ONE cool box would cause a problem!

I find smallish boxes to be lovely to house DS's various little things he seems to NEED to take on vacation, like his little dragons, Lego figures, etc. Or it might hold MY smaller random running stuff for the race in October. They just go into someone's carryon. Though I've used a shoebox to hold our sonicare toothbrushes before in one of our checked bags.

It's really not that big, it's like a toddler-size shoe box.

We keep the boxes chocolate frogs from Universal come in; they hold little things that otherwise would just sit around. So of course we're keeping this box. :)


For those with one box and more than one child...who's to say the box has to be the kids'? Could hold small things for scrapbooking or just all the ephemera many of us seem to have around the house...

DH is very anti-box when it comes to vacation souvenirs and since we just removed over a dozen empty Lego boxes from DS's room, there will have to be some major negotiating over that box, if it comes to the house. He hates clutter.

I know, each family is different, but DH still reminds us of our 2006 trip that necessitated a new suitcase from the CSR gift shop.:rolleyes1
 
Since the bands are meant to be re-used, I've stored ours in the box for next time.
 
Yes. I saw them getting picked up at the resort last week at the front desk and they were in the same Mrs Incredible box. We customized ours and they were shipped overnight.

Glad to know we'll still get the box, will probably want to keep it, so sucks will have to lug it back home.

Glad to hear that your experience with MB and FP+ was flawless! Helps me be optimistic in the midst of all this insane planning!
