Were they shiped with your magic bands.

No, just in a regular envelope. The deadline to customize magic bands is tomorrow, so I wouldn't imagine those will come for another couple of weeks. We don't travel until October 3.

The envelope was just a standard size, like a bill, and was mixed in with the rest of the mail. I actually came really close to just pitching it in the bin of unimportant stuff that doesn't need opening right away. Not trying to make you think you missed yours, just a heads up for the next couple of days.

The character luggage tags come with your MBs if you booked a package. The yellow ME tags are shipped separately, usually within a few weeks of signing up.

We already have magic bands so I'm not waiting on those. Does anyone know when I should start looking for our ME luggage tags in the mail?

We leave October 2 and I got my ME tags on Monday but they only sent us 1 tag each. I called and said we needed 2. Do they really think i am taking 1 suitcase?? Clothes and shopping?? I need 2 PLUS a carry on

My last day to customize is today, I thought the luggage tags come with the Magic Bands.

Nope.
My ME tags came Monday and the magic bands haven’t shipped yet. It’s separate. FYI – we leave October 2

We will be there next month! Our 30 days hits in 2 more days. Woohoo! (Not that it matters since we're on site but it's a fun milestone anyway).

I sewed myself a couple of character inspired skirts the other night. Should be nice and comfy to wear.

Just thought I'd let everyone know that the closing time of Animal Kingdom for most days in October has been extended to 8:30 PM. Maybe Rivers of Light will be open in October after all!!!
