Sorry if this has been posted before.
We are 29 days away, all ADRS are done, FP are chosen, Online check in is done, and Magic Bands have been chosen and customized.

When should I expect them to arrive??

We got our Magic Bands about 30 days out. You should be getting them soon. If you don't get them by the end of this week I would call.

We got the email telling us the tracking number and within 4 days the bands were here:number1:

How long ago did you customize the bands?

When you log on to MDE, you should see a date when the last day to customize the bands... Usually the bands ship out a day or two after that date... At least, that is how they were doing it last year... Things may have changed...

For instance, the date to finalize the bands could be August 30... You wouldn't be able to customize on Aug 31... Then you should see a message they are preparing to ship... and within a few days from there, you should actually have the bands in your possession...

We are leaving in 34 days - arriving Sept 30. Our last day to customize our bands is Aug 30. Your customization window should have closed yesterday or today. The bands should ship in the next few days.

THANKS everyone! I literally just got the email confirmation with tracking, they are shipped and on their way!

Now, do I book a Halloween party ticket or not, hmmmmmmm.
We were there during the party two years ago, actually on Halloween, so I don't know if we can top that- but I'm thinking it might be fun to do again...
