MagicBand+ announced

[MagicHappens1971]

Can they not just fulfill from the stock at the parks and send to the resorts as needed… ?

Most likely not. It’s different inventory, kinda like how shop Disney and the parks do coincide even with the same merch

I just got off the phone. I was told orders placed on the 27th and 28th were delayed. I was told shipping has been upgraded but the CM had no idea as to what shipping was being used. She thought the orders would be going out the beginning of next week.
Sounded like a script. JMO maybe yes and maybe no.

We'd get better service if Disney hired Amazon to handle shipping

I also ordered on the 27th. I get this regarding my item: "U.S. Standard. 4-5 business days unless otherwise noted (Shipped via U.S. Standard)"

Uh-huh.

Heard back on my inquiry to OSM. Although USPS tracking says they picked it up Tuesday evening, OSM claims they don't physically have it from Disney yet...just created the label.

Actually, no you wouldn't.

I bought a welder from a company that used Amazon for US and CA distribution. Amazon had all the units in their warehouses in November (It was a new product that I preordered) and Amazon would ship them according to a pre determined schedule. My order was cancelled 3x by Amazon because Amazon claimed I had an unknown address (and I get Amazon deliveries regularly). Finally, 4 months my initially scheduled ship date, my welder arrived by US Mail and not Amazon, who had given my one of their tracking numbers. My welder was not an isolated incident either.

If it wasn't sold thru Amazon, Amazon doesn't care when it ships.

I mostly agree except for "It also means they will need 8 USB power supplies to do all of this charging."

Who the heck has a phone that charges with USB-A anymore? The last iPhone to ship with USB-A was something like the iPhone X in 2017.

A lot of people….I still see crt screen monitors at the curb from time to time. Not everyone is keeping up with the jones…or you. The usb A to lightning are the cheapest Amazon cords to use the usb c one included in my iPhone 13 I would have needed to buy a new brick. So I use old cords and old bricks.

Ask me about Magical Express, the Parental Rights in Education Act, Lightyear, Turning Red, Harmonious, or Reimagine Tomorrow if you want to see me critical of TWDC.

(But don't actually, because I get banned from threads when I talk about several of those things.)

I'll bite, what's wrong with Turning Red and Harmonious?

They both kinda suck.

 

[Tommye1078]

So I don't post a lot and really try not to be a downer but I just don't get it. I told my Kids about them 14 and 12 they both said nah I don't want one LOL. I must be getting old and grouchy.

 

[Pancho]

They both kinda suck.

oh. is that all? well, I really enjoyed them both, so.. to each their own i guess.

 

[disfan411]

Did you select that option, or did they change it because it shipped so close to your arrival?

I was within 10 days so it automatically picked resort pick up.

How long after your shipping email did it take to get your bands? I leave on Friday the 12th and haven't even received a shipping email yet.

 

[kgoose23]

I placed two orders on the 27th...one was for our trip coming up with everyone in our family and the other was my individual ap. Received notification that my ap one (4 park version) shipped on 8/2. Tracking didn't show movement until just this morning. Finally.

Time standard for the default standard shipping is 5 to 8 BUSINESS days.
Your bands should be waiting for you when you return.

I was told Disney is uprading shipping. The CM had no idea what that means. The shipping partner Disney is using is slow but cheap

 

[lewisc]

Guests needing the bands in the next few weeks need to call. Try to get shipping upgraded or sent to your resort.

I'm in the same situation. We're leaving on Aug 12th and are still "In Process" with my order from July 27th. I called the MagicBand help #, was transferred to the Merchandise area, then back to the reservation line and really got no info at all other than an offer of a refund if they don't arrive by the 10th from the merchandising line. None of the CMs knew how to upgrade shipping or have them sent to the resort instead. The reservations CM didn't know who else could help me, so offered her apologies and not much else. Should I have tried a different number?

 

[Pancho]

just got my Darth Vader band. Noticed that they all have the Imperial cog logo on them orientated incorrectly. Now I'm just annoyed every time I look at it. Magicband-

:-(

Agreed...unfortunately the site says they are only open Monday through Friday

 

[WaltsTreasureChest]

Dooney and Bourke Magicband+ when?

 

[disfan411]

Update, the 4 magicband+ that we ordered on the 27th were at the resort for us when we arrived today. Hope everyone else has the same success.

Great, now to just wait for the great Etsy flow of new "keepers" to go w/ the new "icons"

For anyone interested looks like there's at least 3 sellers on etsy that (already) have MB+ watchband puck/icon holders. Going to place an order for some today, eta 12th-13th should be delivered just in time for our parks trip that week.
