wristband choice?

Okay, I have been reading up on these new, but by report, easy to use magicbands/wristbands. We live in the US, don't have any special tickets (AP, DVC, Florida resident, etc) but we are booked and locked into our dates. Do we have choices as to color, for instance. I have heard there are 'covers" you can buy, but really interested in buying something I can make. I assume they will arrive at our home, but I would like to choose colors. Did you get your band with your name on it or did you tell them what to put on it?

Sorry for the odd questions, but as I have posted before, my family and friends thinks this is a magical experience and it happens so smoothly. My TA and I are planning for almost nine months in advance!

Tink , you have to go to the Disney website, http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/ and make an account, then go into MyDisneyExperience and choose Magicbands. There is were you choose your colors and specify what writing you want on it , if any.

Its very simple and self explanatory.

Are you staying on property (as I don't know how it works if you are not). If you are you get to choice colors: red, yellow, green, blue, gray, orange and pink. And you do that through My Disney Experience. And yes they will have your name on in the inside..based on what you tell them again through My Disney Experience. And yes you can buy accessories for them..at your resort and I think some websites but I have only bought what I wanted at the resort.

Thanks! I am registered at My Disney Experience and see our account, but not able to select the bands yet. Probably not close enough to date.

Umm...that is interesting because I could pick my MagicBand color way back when (as soon as I had my hotel reservation number) but I couldn't do the FP until 60 days out. So either something has changed because you should be able to pick your colors and what name to have printed on the inside.

I asked the TA yesterday and she said I will get an email from Disney telling me it's time to make some more choices.

What??? that makes no sense to me...to pick your color and what your name will be inside should be immediately. You will get notice when you can do your FP selection so maybe it is me but is anyone confused?

Yeah that's not right at all, did you attach your reservation number to you MDE? As soon as your resi # is attached to your account, you should be able to choose your Magicband colors. You have up to 30 days before your trip to change/customize your bands, then they get sent out to you.

Thank you to all who helped!

I finally found the link and got the bands selected. My husband's philosophy is that Disney will something special and I pointed out that they will send you what they have most in stock, so if he doesn't care that his is Tinkerbell green with sparkles, no problem here.

(I know there aren't any that color - although it would be cool- but I have to kick him to gear so I get ahead of the game)

Thanks again to all here! I love this site! muchlove
