Strange info on My Disney Acct re Magicbands

[luvgoing2disney]

We are going down in September for just our second visit using the bands. I just opened the "My Account" tab to look around and was asked to update my password, which I did. All the other information was correct and did not need changing.

I immediately got a message with "Good News! Your Magic Bands had been shipped" which surprised me, being this far out from our visit. I then looked around some more and saw that under my name, there were three bands listed, with two of them being lost. My wife had two bands, one lost as did our son. We've never reported any bands as being lost. I do recall that when we checked in the last time, it took several attempts and visits to the front desk to get the room door to recognize the bands and perhaps that is in reference to that. But should our bands have already been shipped? I copied the tracking number into the USPS system and it showed nothing.

the disney notification system in MDE is terrible, I have 10 notifications and none are current. I would highly recommend not looking at them at all. If there is something important you will get an email about it

Fortunately, we had no such issue with our MagicBands... they were sent to manufacturing exactly 30 days out, and we received them a week or so later.

I had the exact same message on mine when we booked our current trip. It went away eventually and our new Magic Bands won't ship for a while yet.

Most likely that is the old message from your first set of bands. If you never cleared it it will stay in there. The bands for your new stay won't ship till about 30 days before your trip.
If you have your resort stay linked in MDE you should see a place to go in to customize your new bands. Shipping info will appear there once they ship
