I just received my travel documents in the mail today!!! YAY!!
but I thought that I was going to receive a lanyard, I got the luggage tags and all but no lanyard was I wrong to think we were getting lanyards?
You have to pick the lanyard up in the parks. I believe it tells you where you can get them somewhere in your travel docs! I know in the past we were able to get them at the Buzz Lightyear store in Tomorrowland.
Yes, if you booked through Costco or Walt Disney Travel Co, you should have vouchers for lanyards w/ collectible pin (that usually matches the design of the luggage tags). We booked through Costcotravel last year and gave our vouchers to the cashier at the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney. They gave us a plastic-wrapped lanyard and pin, both the same design. I was hoping the voucher could be used to pick a more personally selected lanyard off the sales rack, but no.
From what I've seen, it will probably look like this when you get it. I booked through Costco for my December trip, so I've already been researching for myself.
