Upgradable Magic Bands

[madtown25]

After repeated attempts this morning my order for 4 finally went through for our trip next month. I received my confirmation email immediately. I did not see all of the upgrade options but was able to get Groot, Ariel, Spaceship Earth, & Sorcerer Mickey. I kept getting an error message when adding Groot, but just continued trying to add it and finally went through.

On another thread I read someone claimed that this was happening and Disney was in turn charging full price to their account once the reservation was cancelled. I have no idea if this is true but reminds me of the similar fast pass fiasco. Disney soon caught on and cancelled people's fast pass selections as soon as they cancelled their resort reservation.
In another note, I had gotten 3 out of our five into our cart and my daughter walked up, (she was always reminding me to check, awwww) and I showed her how her favorite pineapple swirl wouldn't load. She quietly told me she would be happy to choose another one, and picked Arial and walla, our order FINALLY went through, so cute of her.
Now though I'm worried if they'll get here in time. We are doing a split stay, checking into the Contemporary on the 10th (Yes, next week), and then the Yacht club (this is where we got the 2nd order of magic bands from) on the 13th. So Disney might be thinking as long as they get here by the 12th or something? That would be the icing in the cake, ha ha, to miss getting them all together after paying $50

It says in the terms that if you cancelled that they will charge you full price.

Thanks BSBNess, so I guess that wasn't a "rumor" ha ha. Glad Disney is doing at least something right with this roll out, otherwise it's been a disaster to an otherwise great idea.

Same....I'm trying to get the same Stitch one for my 12 yo. I could care less for the other 4 of us adults but thought it would be so fun for her to have a customized one. We are going 8/17 so I have a little bit of time left (11 more days) but as soon as I see it I grab it but it will never let me process the order. It is gone before I can finish! It is not even like I'm trying to get the other 4 :-( Bummer!!

I need the sketchbook Stitch one for DS13. The thing that irks me most is that that one is available to purchase on shopdisney so more do exist. I’ll be darned if I’m paying the extra $15 to get it though.

I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one having trouble with this. I've been trying for weeks, and I either get just the solid color bands, or they sell out of one before I can get all 4 selected. No matter what I do I can't get options that make everyone happy to the cart in time! Hoping for a stitch and Groot.

 

[Vern60]

Yeah, that is maddening for sure. I mean advertising a "discount" one, then when you go to look, no no, it's unavailable, but ... we'll be happy to sell you this exact same one at full price!! Lucky You.
The nice thing about the discount ones though, I mean besides being $15 less, is you get your name engraved on it, which to me makes it a wonderful souvenir. You don't get that with one purchased through the Disney Store.

Been trying to get the HM one all morning but it won't go through. Can't decide whether to give up and potentially lose others or keep trying.

I hope it all gets straightened out soon so everyone can get their orders through. I finally got an order to go through this morning, only because my daughter decided to get a different one (all on her own, I didn't even ask, how sweet) but she chose an Ariel instead of the pineapple swirl that she had wanted from the beginning.
Now I'm worried about them getting here in time though. For anyone who already got theirs, how long did they take to arrive? We're leaving bright and early on the 10th, so if not here by the 9th, I'm screwed. I think Disney went ahead with the ship to home because it was for the 2nd leg of a split stay, meaning they are aiming at before the 13th if that makes sense. hmmm, wonder if I should call?

Has anyone come across the OG Genie recently? Did not see it for like the last week at this point wondering if its gone.

HM is not in the current allotment that I personally see. There is a bunch of others up there though now.

If I had to guess even if you got HM to take your whole order would error out since others are now "out of stock".

 

[smileeyore]

Ugh. I miss the ball every time. By the time I see they’ve added new stock all the ones I’m interested in are gone. We have quite a few split stays so I’ve ordered plain bands and am keeping an eye out for ones we would really want. But this is so frustrating!

It was still there when I looked in Chrome but when I switched to IE it was gone and a Villains designed popped up that I hadn't seen before.

 

[michellelovesthemous]

Currently only 28 choices. (Deep Sigh) I still have time....I still have time....

 

[AEA1127]

I just completed an order for Darth Vader, Donald, Sorcerer Mickey and the white castle. We weren't really picky, just figured we'd get a few different choices since we have so many of the plain colors. Thanks for the heads up on the restock!

Why dont you change your address to the resort? So if they dont make it on time, at least you'll get them at your resort.

I am unsure how to do that? Hate to be a bother, but is that something I can do online? I was looking around a bit and don't see it. I suppose I could call as I finally have my order number and all, just hate waiting on hold for a long time.

 

[maui2k5]

I was able to call Disney support and they reset my previously made solid color selections for our Aug trip so I can choose again. Of course the ones we want are gone already...

There's a place on my disney experience where you can change your address. right now im blanking on where that was.

 

[Vern60]

Thanks ErinsMommy, I'll give it a look.

Saw it again just now but just errored out.
