What order are the M bands put in the box?UPDATE it worked!

[ammag]

We want to have the text on the inside say a phrase when we put them together, as this trip is celebrating overcoming an obstacle as a family. Example..faith, trust and pixie dust...
Today I have to customize and I would like the words to appear in the right order in the box that they arrive in, just so we can have a photo to remember.

Does anyone know what order they put the bands in? On the webiste it's me, DD,DS,DH.

Or is it random and I shouldn't worry about who gets which word?

Thanks! It's such a small thing but it means a lot to my daughter.

Call Disney Guest Relations with your special request.

I'm going with the person who made the reservation goes first and then the next in line on the reservation. My prior trip bands had my partner's name on the reservation and his band was in the box first, this trip (4 days from now YAY) has my name on the reservation and so my band is first.

I would call of Disney and ask for the list of names in the order they have them (the order that probably also appears in your Mickey Mail)

Worst thing that happens you end up getting a piece of grey construction paper and printing out the words in the correct order and placing that over your misprinted box

The only person in our family with an MDE account is me, so my name is on every reservation first. Our last box was my husband, then me, then my daughter, then our son. My husband and daughter got the same color of MBs, as did my son and I, so it appeared to me that they tried to place them in "every other color" order so they'd look nice in the box. I just think it's totally random.

you might be right - it might be random. But it could be who makes the reservation (as a PP mentioned). DH is the only one with an MDE account - when I make the reservation online his name is first. When I call to make a reservation - my name is first, then his then DD. I think the answer is (as Robo and another poster suggested) call and see if they can help with your request.

Just to satisfy my own curiosity (because I can't remember from my last trip)....you can't actually see the words when you open the box, can you? They're on the inside of the bands, so you'd have to take them out and flip them upside down to get the picture you're thinking. Or am I remembering the packing wrong?

We had seven people in our 2 BR villa, and the bands came with my band first since I planned the trip, and the rest of the bands in alphabetical order. But everyone tried to order a different color, so color placement wasn't a factor.

Whats written on the band is also printed on a piece of paper that indicates what band belongs to what person so you don't have to lift them up.

The box has the "names" printed under each slot for each band.

Ah ha - I did forget! Thanks, guys!

After looking a a couple of dozen photos of MBs in their boxes, I can tell you that sometimes its alphabetical, and sometimes its not.

Again, this is the kind of thing that needs special attention and someone at the location to oversee the printing of the box.
For these kinds of special requests, call Disney Guest Relations.

We only have two but ours have always been in the same order, mine then my wife's. I have the MDE account so I always assumed it was done in the same order as the names are listed in MDE account but that is only an assumption.

I'll echo what others have stated and give Disney a call. If they can accommodate the request I think they will, it will all depend on how automated that process is and if the system that handles the automation has the option to specify order.

Alpha, I always make the reservations but when my mom goes her band comes first and her name is before mine alphabetically.

 

[BarbieGal457]

I've always made the reservation, but my boyfriend's name, Michael, has always come before my name of Natalie. Possibly due to M being before N in the alphabet, but I've never gone with other people during the MB era besides him so I'm not positive.

 

[SureAsLiz]

Ours were alphabetical. I am the primary account holder, but I know the names were in a different order in MDE

 

[ammag]

I love that nobody mocked my question thank you! I will call and see

I don't think so, since all the reservations and the MDE account are in my name, and the box with our passes came with my husband, then our son, then me. And I can also say that it wasn't in alphabetical order, and it was not in order by age.

Then I give up. It must be whatever the computer thinks look pretty

Same with me. The bands weren't in alphabetical order with either our real names or the ones on our bands.

Super cute idea! I hope it works out for you.

We're from Canada, so we just got the boring sleeve.
