Woo Hoo! I finally got it to work and customized our magicbands. I honestly was not expecting to get magic bands for this trip so i am really excited.

You can put any thing you like, up to nine letters, so you can do a nickname or initals bu since there is probably just room for their first names I don't thin it would be a safety issue, but at least you have the option and it might make mom feel better to do initals or nicknames, us moms can't help but worry.lol

I have a friend there who just confirmed that the cast member will see the name on the reservation not the magic band, so if your magic band says "goofball" or whatever that stays private

In response to mouselover321...
Yesterday when I checked MDE in the morning the FastPass + & MagicBands tabs showed up. When I checked again that night and clicked on MagicBands I believe it told me I had an Order I could customize up to 10/31. Check your App and the actual online version (mine shows up there also) to see. It only listed our 1st night at BLT. Not sure if it will show our check-in at AKV the next day. Very excited now. Just wish they had a purple color.

We're going to be staying at POR and confirmation numbers were listed
I heard that the names are on the inside of the band. The side that will be touching their skin. This is also what I have seen in pictures online. I hope that helps alleviate some concern. I know that when we go in Nov. my kids will probably want to get some accessories for their bands. Have fun on your trip!

If anyone is still having trouble getting the bands try checking in (again) online. I had already checked in online but wasn't getting the customize band option. I clicked modify online checkin and went through the steps and when it was done the option appeared.
Hey, this worked for me. Just customized and ordered my Magic Bands that weren't originally showing. Thanks for the tip!

I also wish they had purple! It makes me think of Figment!
In the original Magic Band pictures purple was an option. Although if you see an awesome Magic Band cover in purple then you have a reason to get one!travellerman

Went to bed last night a bit on the disappointed side thinking that I wouldn't get to try the magicband for my trip in November, but today after work I checked my Disney experience and guess what, I was able to customize the magicbands 
At the moment its for the second half of our split stay not the first half. But at least I get to try them out for a bit in any case.

Anyone else not able to make Fastpass + reservations? We will be there 11/8-11/15, I made the color selections for our magic bands, but when I go to the fastpass+ I get the error "We're Sorry! The selected date must be within at least one party member's FastPass+ selection window." the kicker is that I can only press ok, it doesn't let me switch dates or anything. Our reservation is a package and includes tickets, so I guess this may be some sort of glitch, or maybe I just have no clue what I am doing.

Does anyone know if you live in the UK do you have to put the hotel address in the my disney experience to personalise your MB? I have the option to personalise but obviously they won't ship to the UK and I don't want grey. Thanks
Any idea on how to put the UK phone number in. I have tried all options - with 0044, with just the number minus the zero
All sorted - magic bands ordered. Disney hotel address and phone number used to get them ordered

MM311 i`m getting the same thing with the first half of my split stay. Can`t figure it out either, but I get the same message when I try for the beginning of the week. But when I check into the new hotel half way through, I have no problems setting up fastpass

Where are you staying when it doesn't work? We are at Port Orleans Riverside, maybe it has something to do with our resort...

Am staying at Saratoga Springs for first 1/2 a week, and then Caribbean Beach Resort the other 1/2. The Caribbean Beach resort reservation is getting me the magicbands, and I have fastpasses chosen for then. But for Saratoga i'm not able to choose any fastpasses and have no magicbands for then (yet). At the moment i'm getting the message saying i'm not able to make any fastpass selections for those dates.

What I'm wondering about, is if I don't get a magicband for the first resort of my split stay, but have it for the second, can they just link it to the first resort when I get there? Provided I have the bands with me?
