We have a reservation for mid July and My Experience says we have 12 days to order our Magic Bands. What do we do if they are not accepting orders?

I would go into My Disney Experience and try to order there. If you can't order through there, you can get bands at your resort when you arrive. You would not be able to get your choice of color, I think they are grey, and they won't be engaged. Good luck.

I would keep trying on the MDE app or online daily.

IF you have existing MagicBand(s), they should still be valid and working for your upcoming trip. Just go in the MDE app and see that they are listed as Active. [BTW -- You can activate/deactivate any band(s) that you own from there.

Hopefully your trip will still be on, as the parks don't open until July 11th, and everything works out for you.

I doubt they know which way is up right now. Go w/ the in person gray ones. Simpler

You can also buy Magic Bands at the parks with decorations you like if you prefer that over the grey ones. It is pretty easy to add those through your My Disney Experience and use them.


I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

If you have a mid-July reservation, you might have some more pressing concerns than getting a Magic Band order (which you can get upon check-in at your resort). I'd be keeping an eye out for plans regarding how to sign up to get entry into one of the parks (if you're going after the theme parks open and plan to go to a park), dining reservations, and any requirements and limitations around a July trip. It's likely to be crazy different from any other trip you'll ever do there! I hope it works out well for you and you can enjoy your time.

At worst, you'll get the plain grey ones when you check-in. If you're a fan of the decorated bands, you could order "stickers" from somewhere like Magic Your Band to jazz them up. (We've done that a few times, cheaper than buying a fancy band from Disney).

THey could give me a free trip, put me up at the castle and nope. Going to be crazy and constantly changing procedures.

Save the money, buy an inflatable pool and some better outdoor speakers to stream disney music.
