Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

[Meeko5]

I just tracked my package for fun. No wonder the USPS is going out of business. The MB are shipped from Memphis, TN. I live in Nashville which is about 3 hours away. My MB are currently in BENSENVILLE, Illinois.... For those that are not familiar with the area, it's a beautiful suburb outside CHICAGO!!! Seriously USPS!?!

Whaaaat?! That's crazy!

I'm trying to clean up my ADR. Planning on cancelling this one this weekend. Let me know if anyone is interested!!

Ok, mine says "your magic band has shipped" (!!!) - now, how are you guys tracking it? I can't see anything to click on to see any further information? And I'm not sure what you guys mean about the luggage tags... Help!

Disney sends an email with trackin info - check the account your MDE is registered under!

If you book a magic your way package you should get plastic luggage tags with your magic bands. The color/character coordinates with your MB selection. They are a cute souvenir!

Thanks! No email yet, and I know it's my account since that's what I use to sign in. The status just changed today, so maybe there is just a lag between noticing that in MDE and getting the email. I'll keep an eye out.

What about the Magical Express tags? Maybe those will come soon too? I haven't been in 20 years so I'm like a first-timer!!

Ours already came - if I were you I would call ME monday and just confirm they have your info and let them know you're still waiting. Better to have extras rather than them not come!

Are you using a travel agent? If so, the DME tags will be sent to them and they'll mail them out to you. Our email notification went to my dh's email because I guess the reservation is in his name. I didn't realize that. I think our other reservation is in my name.

 

[DisneyGB]

Ah! That solves that mystery!!!

The magic bands go to me though right?

Yes, they do! Did you go in and customize them and verify your address?

 

[DisneyGB]

Yes - I can see now that it says it is shipping to my husband, so that's good. I did customize awhile back. This is going to be a fun week of checking the mailbox!!

Now, how do I keep my excited kids from destroying them before the trip?!

We are going to have so many magic bands after this trip! What are you all doing with them afterwards?

They go in a drawer in my bedroom until the next trip!

That's where ours are too!

 

[Iowamomof4]

We have 19 Magicbands right now and will add 12 to our stash for this trip. One of the 19 is a special one I won from Disney Parks Blog. I haven't attached it to a profile yet. If I could get one more special band, maybe we could try for some SDFP's for a couple of us (primarily the teens, I'm guessing).

Mine are sitting here in town. Now they won't be here until Monday. Our mail is horrible here though, misdelivering weekly, etc.... Oh well.
Update: now out for delivery. Crazy post office.

Just had a Disney scare! My MIL texted me saying she wasn't sure how to pay her balance- that was due 2 days ago apparently they gave us a couple days grace time and we got it paid today but I was sweating for a few minutes there.
