[Jennygt]

how far in advance to the magic bands generally arrive? I might try to incorporate them into my children's surprise reveal for our May trip.

Mine arrived last Saturday...so 3 weeks before our trip.

Should get them at least two weeks ahead of time. usually more (but of course stuff happens and they aren't on time 100% of the time)

Ok thanks for the info

Normally 3-4 weeks ahead of your arrival date

We got ours on 3/12 and we are going on 4/9. We received notice that it was shipped and received them in less than a week later.

I check in on 4/12
I got ship notice on our bands yesterday
They are out for delivery today

I'm impatient because I'm excited about receiving them but we got a shipping notice 3/10 with estimated delivery 3/14 - 3/16. It's 8pm 3/16 and no bands. In fact no tracking updates since 3/13.

I would not worry things happen you should get them also depending on where the bands are coming from and going to they might have some bad weather to go thought witch could hold them up for a day or 2

Mine shipped on the 5th and I got them on the 12th (said they'd be here the 14th).

Our trip is April 3rd. I'm in NC, it might make a little difference on the state you're on.

No worries now the tracking info updated twice already this morning and they appear to be at our local post office!

I guess I'm high-jacking this post a bit. But, do the bands come in a concealed package? I know they're in the Incredubles box, but is there another outer cover over it? This is the first time we're attempting to surprise our kids. And they are the ones who usually get the nail so I'm wondering if the surprise will be blown?

They come in a cardboard box

Like the PP said, they come in a cardboard box, but the shipping label on that box says "The Walt Disney World Travel Company", so if they look at the label, surprise is blown

Ours arrived yesterday, 25 days before our trip.
