thank you for sharing
I think this is the first instance where water parks not opening is actually put into writing? also the change in the word "soon" to "shortly" I know, grasping at straws now

also the change in the word "soon" to "shortly" I know, grasping at straws now

I read that too and my heart skipped a beat!! "Shortly" means it could be mean any minute! Isn't that what mom's say in the car when their kids are in the backseat asking "when will we be there"???

"Shortly" is totally sooner than "Soon"!

Hey guys! Just wanted to give you a heads up that I was able to order Magic Bands today! I was shocked when I went on and saw all the buttons under my scheduled trips that said ‘GET STARTED.’ I was even able to order our annual passholder bands, along with custom bands, as well. There were a lot of new bands I personally haven’t seen before. Enjoy!

Finally got our AP MBs ordered! Forward is forward no matter the pace!

I picked up on that too, and now I'm really happy I didn't add the water park option when I bought our tickets from UT last month.

Ordered our magic bands. Have yet to order our AP, but I have plenty of time. They don’t expire until Oct. lol. Can you tell I forget to reorder. Often just reuse.

Thank you so much for posting. It felt so good to order (finally) my aqua castle magic band. Just a little joy to the end of a rough week. Thanks, again!

Anyone in California terrified they're gonna roll the new reservation system out at 3 am our time?

Yes!! I think I will just stay up all night to make sure I don’t sleep through it!!

I may be guilty of some questionable Disney spending in my lifetime, and I have purchased a few limited editions/premium MagicBands in the parks before.... but for whatever reason I have been totally against spending money on premium MagicBands for resort stays when the free option has always been a click away - it has always been the basic colors for us. Until today.... for no other reason than "because it's there" - which is a terrible reason, but whatever.

@DWillowBay - DW picked that aqua castle MB too.

@mrsap - thanks for posting about it!

Definitely a bright spot for the week, even if I never see them!

There’s so many magic bands now!

 

[Zeus'Headache]

I’m so excited! Just ordered our magicbands(we only had 5 days left so thank goodness for this chat!) and I got the Galaxy’s Edge one and my mom got the Riviera band. I was between the Star Wars and aqua castle one, but ultimately my love of the new land won out! It’s a nice welcome to my completely naked MDE

Last time I had an AP I was able to order the AP band months after it expired. It was still listed as an option to order in MDE

But - WHAT NIGHT? Are we to become nocturnal now that we finally gained back that extra hour of sleep with a lack of commute????

Thank goodness I work night shift. Every time I am on break I’m checking the app and web and social media for news to break!

Hmmm, does anyone know what this webpage is for? I stumbled across it just now and I don't think I've seen an "activity reservation" page before. It's blank now, but wondering if this will be the landing page for the new reservation system. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/activity-reservation/

ETA---clearly the suspense of this is messing with my mind if I am actually excited about finding a blank page on disney world's website. C'mon Disney.... give us some news!

I think they cleared out a lot of things but hopefully

I see a lot of people have been able to order Magic Bands, but does anyone know if they are actually shipping them out? We are checking in on June 22nd, and I was able to order ours last Sunday but haven't received any shipment notification.

Our first trip we booked a week before we arrived (I know! Crazy, right? I was excited to have a fastpass to the little mermaid... lol). Anyway, we did not get our bands by mail but they were waiting for us at the resort front desk. I think that is what they do if they don't have time to ship.

My confirmatiom email said we are supposed to get them 10 business days before our vacation. Hopefully you get yours soon!

Yeah, I thought that may be the case too but wasn't sure if they were doing that either since it seems like they're trying to limit contact at the front desk.

My email says the same, but I thought they would have shipped by now since we're only 10 days out. Oh well, I guess we'll find out soon either way. I think we have a couple old ones in a box somewhere that I can scrounge up just in case.
