Weird Package from Disney

[megfarwell]

Not really sure if there is a correct board for this but-

Just received this package from Disney, had a little booklet including our travel details and a couple of luggage tags, then this box. Box was empty?? Not sure if there is supposed to be something in there. Kind of looks like a spot for a magic bands but we already received those separately. Any ideas?

It is a spot for a flash drive. Not sure why it isn't in there. They were sending those out a while back and you put it into your computer and it would start up a website all about My Magic. That is odd!

I bet this flashdrive was supposed to be in that spot. This is what they sent me.

Yup. I have two of those flash drives. I deleted their stuff off them, and use them for other purposes. One is in my car, loaded with the music we listen to on the way to Disney World when we drive down from NY

They are no longer sending the flash drives I guess. I received an empty box with the foam insert as well.

I don't mind that Canadians don't get their magic bands mailed out, but we also miss out on flash drives?

maybe, but with where the canadian dollar is at lately, you'd think disney would offer a little something, or at least send the same material to canadian travelers!

I'm really kicking myself for throwing ours out a few weeks ago. It didn't even occur to me to overwrite the flash drive. Now I feel like such a waster!

They aren't sending the flash drives anymore. They just haven't updated the packaging.

OMG, that is so bizarre! We just received the booklet, but to send an empty box is just dumb. I'm sure it's got to be a mistake.

We did get one of those boxes on a prior trip, but it actually had the flash drive in it.

As PP's said, they aren't sending the drives anymore. You'd think they quit using the boxes, I'm sure it costs more to send the box than it would a packet envelope with the booklet and tags.

We received one of the drives for our trip last February. I formatted that sucker and use it for my household backups. It eases the pain of bill and tax paying. I don't know if they still are, but back last summer people were selling them on ebay for like $25. LOL

We got one of those boxes this week but no foam for a flash drive and no luggage tags...and NO we aren't in Canada

 

[disneyshan]

I got that booklet last week, but no box or foam insert or travel tags, though! Probably cause I'm in Canada.

 

[prettypatchesmsu]

Aww, would have loved one of the flash drives. Had hoped they were still sending them out.

 

[rainboots]

For what it's worth, the flash drives get a little wonky after going thru the wash...

I got that booklet a few weeks ago, with no box or luggage tags, and I'm not in Canada. Though I am in Minnesota, maybe it is close enough by Disney's standards?

Hello fellow little canadian!

 

[bumbershoot]

They are using up the boxes, IMO. Better than just trashing them. I got one a few weeks back, too. Mine had a piece of card stock continuing the Incredibles theme covering the foam, and the pamphlet was on too of that. If I wasn't curious I wouldn't have seen the foam. And if I hadn't gotten two or three drives when they were sending them out I wouldn't have known what it was for.

That's weird. We went in late July and just this March. We got the booklet with Dumbo magnet (love this), and maybe a DVD, each time, but we never got a box or flash drive. We stayed onsite both times too. We live about as far from Canada as you can get in the continental US, Texas.
