Going for 5 days starting Dec. 5, staying at Coronado Springs. Crazy question here. I have expired seasonal passes that show up on MDE as expired. We are not renewing, but buying new passes at the gate to have new anniversary dates. Logged onto MDE and saw that we could customize MagicBands for each pass even though it was expired, so I did. My shipping address was confirmed and it says I have four bands on order. Does this mean that Disney is shipping us four customized MagicBands even though we have no ticket media to apply to them? If so, this seems absurd and a total waste of money for Disney. Don't get me wrong, I will gladly take them and use them, but what if I wasn't going to renew or buy new tickets or wasn't going to the parks and was just enjoying a few days at the resort? No wonder ticket media is hitting the roof at record pace. They waste so much money on this crap! Anyway, when/if we receive the bands, will they attach the new passes to them at the gate or would we just be issued a new RFID card and keep the bands as souvenirs? I am guessing they will attache to the bands, but will have to wait and see. Either way, it does not give me an option to attach FP+ to anything as I do not have updated ticket media. Am I going to get screwed on the FP+ options since I won't have the passes until I get there? As a semi-local and frequent park goer, it sounds to me that taking these short or spur of the moment trips to the World are not worth it anymore for passholders and that all they care about are big spenders in the parks.
