I'm definitely curious to see how it all plays out. We haven't been able to go in a while but always ended up with extras, usually the plain grey no matter how many times I declined them. As a gal that does some flipping (I prefer resale but it means something different to most) I end up with a lot of them thrown in auction lots. Unless I'm missing something, there is no market for them. Most have names, so they were sent to someone. For now I just snag the batteries to use elsewhere, but I'm very curious to see if the number in these lots decrease over time
In other words, it isn't ready to roll out today.

@wdwtoday is still saying “This offering will be available real soon, and we encourage you to keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog”
I wish they would have been a little less eager to say that yesterday was the day. It’s such a minor thing in the grand scheme of the trip, but I was super excited to upgrade my bands and we’re still not able to yet.

I looked at the website... interesting. The 'glow in the dark' seem good as an interesting option as well. The thing I'm wondering (after watching their video on how to apply the overlay) is whether it stays in place when you flex the band a bit, like straighten it out from its natural curve? Did yours ever come off when you didn't want it to?
I've used those overlays many times. Never had an issue with them coming off or bubbling up due to flexing. Also, they send you the overlay as a pair. So, you have a back-up.
Also, considering the amount of times one would wear a particular band over the course of even three years, one isn't even wearing it a full month's worth of days to even have the opportunity to wear down.

Someone on FB said you can go to DS and get the upgrade, anyone able to confirm?

We have a preexisting trip booked and the option is not available for us yet even though we’re in the customization window. I wonder if it’s being rolled out in phases?

I didn't know you could do custom ones. Nice work.
We got some from overlays from the same site when we rented DVC points. It's a little thing overall, but I enjoyed having them.

The site literally says "Special pricing is valid online only. "
I can see it for my trip that is booked for September.

Sorry didn't bother checking the site itself since my MB shipped Saturday.

Someone in my FB group found these on KTP's website (pretty sure from comments on one post or another - I couldn't find them using the search). Note that the price is $24.99 discounted to $10.
Sorry for the crappy quality...I just slapped these together into one file after cropping out personal info.
