When Do You First Put Your Magic Band On?

[Disneylvr]

Do you put it on before you even leave home? After you arrive at your home airport? Once you arrive at MCO?

I usually put mine on at the departure gate of my home airport but DH won't put his one until we arrive in Orlando.

About a week before we arrive. And it takes great restraint to not start wearing it once it arrives.

I put it on as soon as I get mine from the front desk! And don't take it off until we get home.

As we are walking up to the ME desk

 

[JKMastalski]

At home, before leaving for the airport!

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

As soon as we to the gate to wait for our departing flight. But you know I have already have had it on several times since getting it last week.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I put it on while riding the airport monorail or while walking to the ME check in desk.

Once we touch down in Orlando, I keep our MBs easily accessible in my carry on.

Before I leave for the airport.
I kept it in my carry on the first time and felt like I needed to check for it every so often.
After that I started putting it on before I leave home so that I don't have to keep thinking OMG is it actually in my bag or did I leave it on the kitchen table lol.

On the Magical Express bus. If we're driving, then I put it on right after we drive past the welcome sign.

 

[megs1313]

before we leave the house for the airport, but I keep the toddler's in my bag until we arrive!

 

[Newsies]

We drive from NJ and ceremoniously put ours on at the Florida Welcome Center.

 

[Shellyb84]

Before we leave the house.

 

[danielocha30]

we drive, I wear mine as soon as I wake up on departure day!

 

[buzznina]

we drive, I wear mine as soon as I wake up on departure day!

We also drive and I put mine on when we are ready to depart, so I am ready to open the gates of the resort once we get there

 

[tsme]

We drive also and put it on the day of check in.

 

[Arthur92]

I make my family put theirs on once the Pilot say's "Please Prepare For Landing" that magic bug bites me quick!!!!!

 

[prgal0715]

Since I'm headed to WDW in just THIRTEEN DAYS (!!!!!!!), I may or may not be casually wearing my magic band around the house. You know, to "break it in."

Otherwise...I'll put it on as soon as I get to the gate at my home airport. I feel like putting on my magic band makes vacation really real!

Before I leave for the airport. This year we have an early flight and I have to work the day before we leave so I'll be putting it on before leaving for work the day before our flight. If I didn't, I'd go crazy checking and double checking that I did indeed have it with me. I fully anticipate being completely useless that day at work anyway so I'll spend the day gazing longingly at my MB
