    Default Waiting for Magic Bands . . .

    I checked on My Disney Experience at the 30 day mark to see if the magic band status had changed. Good thing I checked, because they had somehow lost/deleted the personalization on one of our magic bands. I updated it, and I hope it was in time.

    At 29 and 28 days out, the status said the magic bands are being prepared. Could it remain in that status for several days? I thought they shipped out at 30 days.

    Although I don't know for 100% sure, I would think that they are prepared and shipped in batches, so yes, it is possible that it will be a few days after the 30 days.

    Although companies like amazon have shipping notifications down to the minute, it also wouldn't surprise me if it takes Disney a day or so to update as well.

    Generally, the customization window closes on day -30. On day -29 the app changes to being produced (or some such verbiage), meaning they are being printed. On day -27 or -26, the app will usually show shipped. That apparently doesn't actually mean the post office has them, just that they are packaged and have a USPS label on them. There will be a tracking number given either via email or on the app, but since it's a USPS tracking number , for 90% of the time it is useless for its intended purpose. You can get some comfort, I suppose, in the fact that your band's journey has begun, but that's about all. Your bands will arrive on some random day in the next 14 days, despite what the tracking number may or may not tell you.

    But for now, you're right on schedule.

    My customization disappeared too, and I had to redo it! But it says now that they are personalized and shipping to my resort, so we'll see if that's what I actually get when I check in ;-)

    Maybe just too many glasses of wine? J/k. I hope they arrive correctly. Issues like this drive me nuts.

    Good news! The tracking info finally showed up. It now says the package arrived at my local post office this morning and they should be delivered today! Today is the 25 day out mark.

    I'm hoping the updated customization was accepted in time.

    Yes, they arrived on the day of my last post. The online tracking worked perfectly, and I was able to set up text notifications. I received a text message when they were delivered to my mailbox.

    And even better . . . the customization was correct, even after it disappeared and I had to re-do it at the 30-day mark.

    Can I just say how jealous I am that you guys get them shipped to you in advance?! Canadians don't have the option and just have to pick them up at the resort. Not a big deal at all, but I'm always nervous walking up to that counter and worrying they're going to say "We don't have any magic bands for you, crazy lady!"
