Hi Heather,
Hey there fellow Missourian! Congratulations on your upcoming vacation, you have less than a week until the Magic begins!
You are correct, your Father-in-law's
MagicBand will be waiting for him at your Disney Resort hotel. If you are able to customize his
MagicBand in
My Disney Experience within 5 days prior to arrival then he will have a customized
MagicBand waiting. Otherwise, no worries, an iconic gray
MagicBand will be waiting for him at your Disney Resort hotel. Here is a link that explains more fully about
Customizing MagicBands. This year I had some last minute travel changes and was able to fly to Walt Disney World a day earlier than originally planned (Woo Hoo!). A good friend of mine was vacationing during the same time and I was added to her existing room reservation for my extra night and I received a gray
MagicBand upon arrival even though I had only been added to the reservation the day prior.
Thank you Heather for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question and I wish you a
MAGICAL vacation!
Blessings
