When can we expect our Magic Bands?

[MonorailNate]

First trip since they starting using the magic bands. When we were last there, they were installing the equipment at the parks for them. I just booked our stay at WL for the last week in June and we are excited, to say the least! I customized bands for everyone in our party on the MDE. I was curious about when we would actually receive them.

This will be our 1st time back since summer 2012, and I have been wondering the exact same thing. We will arrive during the last week of June.

So sorry I haven't an answer...yet jumping in on this thread in the hopes that someone does

Well we will be there in June 1st and the 2 we requested (everyone else has one) have not showed up yet so I am betting around the 30 day mark.

Usually we have received them 25 days before the trip. You can track in MDE once they have shipped and I believe there is an e-mail as well.

 

[scrapquitler]

you should get them about 3 weeks prior to your arrival

i just got mine recently..........about 25 days before check-in date.

 

[MonorailNate]

Thanks all! I’ll be looking for them late May.

We just got ours last Friday (march 23) and we're checking in on April 19!

They are customized and processed 30 days prior to check in.
That usually take 48 hours and then they are shipped.
Generally you can expect them betwen 21 and 24 days prior.

MDE gives me a customize-by date - that seems to be about the day they will ship. Maybe you can see a date in MDE.

We are checking in on 4/21. Received a shipment confirmation email on 3/23. Received magic bands in my post office box on 3/27. Hope that helps!

You have until 30 days out to make changes to your band order. The bands are usually shipped within the week following that milestone. I go every year and have always received my bands within two weeks prior to start of the vacation.

You have until day 30 before your trip to customize. At about day 29, they are "pulled" and prepared for mailing. Our's have always come from FL. So depending on where you live, you'll probably receive them between day 25-15 before your tip. We generally receive our's around day 20.

Our next trip is 4/27 and I received an email on 3/29 with a tracking number (USPS) with a delivery date of 4/2. Received our Magical Express tickets last week.
