Yes, I don't remember exactly when we customized them but it was mid December. We waited fairly late to customize it in hopes we would receive the new ones.Really!!! We arrive 1/28 and ours havent shipped yet.
I didn't realize, until my wife pointed out, that these magic bands are actually for our annual passes. They just happened to ship right after we booked our trip. So I suppose it is still unclear when they will be shipping to resort guests. Sorry for the confusion.Yes, I don't remember exactly when we customized them but it was mid December.

Edit: they shipped on 12/21
Is it any different than the millions off site fumbling for their cards.Although Im looking forward to actually seeing this band when I submit my AP order, I'm really fearing the idea that everyone will now have a small puck on a different location on their body when they arrive at the gates to the parks...eeeks. Jostling the Mickey head around as it dangles from your hip, neck, wrist, where ever anyone now choses to wear it, them putting the finger, and you're a child, or you've never done this...eeeesh...Ima scurd, I don't think this falls under efficient. Just MO.

From what I've read here on the DIS it's the accessories (keychain, etc) and whatnot that will come with the screwdriver and not with the initial magicband you would get.I would like to know if the new resort bands will ship with a tool to unscrew the center? Seems like I read something somewhere..not sure if that is just the fancy ones
On the plus side, for those of us who like to paint our bands, there's more room on the Mickey face part to work with! I'm anxious to see the accessories in person...I didn't pay any attention when we were there a couple weeks ago.
Just think of how many people will show up at the park without it. "oops I left it clipped to my other..." you fill in the blank. At lease with the old bands It was easy to look and see if my kids were all wearing their bands.Although Im looking forward to actually seeing this band when I submit my AP order, I'm really fearing the idea that everyone will now have a small puck on a different location on their body when they arrive at the gates to the parks...eeeks.
