Hiya Teresa!
Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for including us in your magical vacation! As somebody who loves making my Disney trips as carefree and convenient as possible, I love devices like MagicBands or the
Disney MagicMobile service. Indeed, they make using your tickets or reservations so easy you can never go back to using regular tickets again!
It is true that the amount of time left before your trip when you placed your order, and conditions in the postal service, can affect when you will receive your MagicBands. However, as Simba and his friends would say, "Hakuna Matata!" No worries, Teresa, as you will be able to pick up some MagicBands at the front desk of your Resort. If you have not ordered them yet, you can also order your MagicBands within ten days of your arrival to have them delivered directly to your Resort hotel. That way, you will ensure that you are receiving the colour and design you want! You can also set up the Disney MagicMobile service at any time by logging into your
My Disney Experience mobile app and clicking on "Disney MagicMobile."
If you have not ordered the brand new
MagicBand+ devices, I do hope you will try them out real soon. Not only do the new MagicBand+ have the same features as older MagicBand generations, but they also allow you to
engage in new unique features around the Resort! For example, you'll be able to collect characters as you spot the golden statues of the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection. In addition, you'll be able to participate in the
Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters experience and collect credits as you find characters throughout Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Lastly, MagicBand+ will make your experience of nighttime spectaculars like
Disney Enchantment and
Harmonious even more magical!
I hope this was helpful, Teresa, and that you will be able to experience all the magic that MagicBands offers soon. If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your visit, please don't hesitate to reach back out. Answering your questions lets us dream along with you too!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
