They won't ship until the countdown runs out. You can modify your selections until then.

Ok...our countdown runs out 9/25. Is that when they'll ship them? And they are going to be our park tickets, room key & pmt for things right? I know FP too but I probably won't use that. When do I link the credit card? Sorry for all the questions Smitch

Yes, it will have all of that on it. You can link your cc when you do online check in.

I was told by IT today that mine were shipping Monday...my countdown still has like 34 days...

Even if I don't physically have them in my hands? I can do online check in in 2 days it looks like we'll be getting our MB's, Mickey mail and photopass all around the same time.....ill be running to the mailbox daily lol

Just customized our magicbands for our Oct 28th arrival at POP! woohoo! When will I be able to make fastpass plus selections?

Should be able to do them soon. I think they go until mid October now

Mine has 33...

I'm in Canada too! Arriving the same day What is odd is they sent our ME tags UPS, so why not send the Magic Bands too.

I'm arriving on the 25th, from Canada too!

Canadian arriving sept 25th! I read a theory that radio frequency chips in the bands prevent them from being able to ship outside of the states. Can't remember where I read it but seems as good a reason as any I guess...

I wonder if they manually sent them since you spoke with them.
I want mine now, too, then.

Well I received my email letting me know my magic bands are on the way yesterday. Today in the mail, BAM there they were. I was surprised at how fast they got here. I am so looking forward to using them. YEAH!

 

[Stormeyes]

When do you check in? We're Sept 12!

Us too! Me and the DBF will be wearing matching " Kingdom Hearts" t shirts on check in day. We get in to the resort around noon. Wave and say hi if you see us!

If you get the MB's, do you still get the KTTW cards? I can't plan my FP's a month in advance. We are winging our vacation. So I have no idea what park we are doing when. I know we can't use the MB's for FP unless we plan. So are the cards still an option?

For now, yes because it's still just in testing phase.

I would have to assume, at some point, the magic bands can be used for regular FP....right?? I can't imagine Disney would expect everyone to plan what ride, parade or show they're going to do a month in advance.

YaY WoW ...Just signed into MDE and was able to customize our MB..mine is Pink and DH is Red...now its starting to feel really real...beyond excited and walking on air...Pixie Dust to everyone

They will simply say if you don't wish to plan in advance you can visit a kiosk or use your smart phone to acquire day of Fastpasses but there will be no guarantee things will be available.

That's what I wondered. I read you could still do regular fp, but didn't know how unless they gave you a card, too. I hope we can. Still on the fence with the FP+ times we picked. I tried to do the best I could based on park openings and our park hopper tickets. Tough to know what we will feel like doing from day to day.

Ok....that's kinda inconvenient but oh well...I am not a huge planner with my WDW trips. I can't be. I want to go and eat where we want when we want.

Exactly! We're winging our entire trip.

I just customized our magic bands too. Mine is pink, and DH's is orange. I also added the fastpasses to the bands. However, after all that, online check in won't go through.
All my information is correct, yet I get an error message after it processes. Anyone else having issues with online check-in?
