When do our Magic Bands arrive?

[fairytalelover]

We arrive at POFQ Sept 30th. Shouldnt they be mailing the magic bands out already? If I remember correctly, we got our bands much earlier last year.

Go into MDE and it will give you a date when they need to be customized by. We check in 9/5 and ours will be shipped at the end of this week.

You also get a tracking number and an email when they go out

Are you sure you got them earlier last year? They usually don't ship until 30 days prior to your trip, so you've got at least a month before they arrive.

Yep, I just got two batches (split trip). 30 days out.

It says last day to modify is August 30th. So I guess they send it out the following day? I could have sworn we got our bands way earlier last year......maybe I was wrong.

We check in August 29th and our MB's were shipped Thursday. It has been approximately 30 days out or less since we started receiving MB's back in Dec of 2013.

 

[Minnie121]

Received our bands at about 24 days before our trip.

Trip is Aug 29....band shipped Thurs and should be here this Thurs

I arrive on September 10 and received my MB on July 30. My mom and her friend check in on September 8 and still have not received. I customazied all ours at the same time.

We arrive on 9/12 and MDE says we have until 8/12 to customize so I imagine they won't be shipped until then

Shortly after that modify date, in the wee hours following that date for us, Disney will send the appropriate information to the company that makes the MBs. I usually see a reference to Memphis as receiving the information. The bands are shipped from the manufacturer. In our case, since we live outside of Memphis, the information was sent Saturday around 3:00 AM and the bands were at our house on Tuesday.

30 days out. Patience. They will arrive with great fanfare after August 30.

 

[White Rose]

our last day to modify is today, (check in day Sept 3) so I'm guessing they will ship this week. last time they arrived about 3 1/2 weeks before we left....plenty of time left for you!

I leave October 17th, and I got mine today! I was really surprised to get them this early. But every time I went to the MDE site, I kept changing the color, so the other day I clicked the button that said I was all done. When I got the box today, I didn't know what color MB would be in the box I've changed the color so many times! So I guess that if you click the button that says you're all done customizing it, they'll send it. But now I have to worry about keeping it in a safe spot so it doesn't get lost.

 

[BlackMagicWoman]

No matter when it is, it won't be soon enough.

 

[Simba's Mom]

Anyone else start wearing their MBs as soon as they get them? Or at least on the plane? As soon as I get through security at my home airport, I always put on my MB. I've been surprised that I've enver seen another person wearing one on the airplane. Am I the only one?

our trip is 8/26 we got ours last week.

 

[tlmadden73]

our trip is 8/26 we got ours last week.

Me too! See you there .. heh.
Anway .. yes. My trip starts August 26th and I received my Magic Bands on 7/30. Basically 4 weeks before my trip begins.
