It's been a while since we've been back to DW. And although we have had annual passes in the past, we used to stay on site. I really have no desire to stay on site anymore, especially with the parking fees. From what I understand on the magic band post,
1. you can still get your free magic band as an annual pass holder but must wait till you arrive to activate it.
2. Can we not activate our passes, go to customer service or a store or wherever and pick colors and activate it then?
3. I'm sure my daughters won't want gray ones. LOL Not sure how it actually works. Thank you!
1. Do you mean "activate the AP," or "activate the MagicBand?"
2. That's not quite how it works for APs and MBs.
(Ans must be "activated," (in person, and with a legal photo ID) with a trip to any ticket booth or Guest Relations.
3. They don't automatically assign gray MBs.
But, in general, you will not receive an AP MB on the trip on which you first activate a new AP.
You will go home from that first trip and THEN, in your MDX account, you can "customize" (choose a color and add a name to) a new AP MB that will be then mailed to your home. (Yes, that means that you can't use that MB on the first trip in which you activate a new AP.
HOWEVER- It has been said (but
not affirmed by many actual reports) that a guest with a newly-activated AP can go to the
Liberty Square Ticket Office in MK and there instantly choose a new MB to go with the new AP.
