Magic band order question

Hi, we are going in the 13th August for 2 1/2 weeks but only staying in Disney for a week, so we get the magic bands delivered to hotel as we live in uk.

Question: on the site there are 2 conflicting dates.
1) says complete order by the 7th August to delivered to the resort
2) you have 5 days left to order

I’m guessing the 5days would be if we were is the USA and wanting them delivered to home. Or is that to order the band we want or on the 7th we would have the standard grey ones?

Also I’m guessing as they are linked to both tickets and resort that after we leave OKW they will still work at the parks as we plan to go back in our 2nd week after some time in a universal hotel

The date is for both onsite and home delivery
Beyond the provided date you will be issued standard grey ones, the bands will still work beyond your stay but charging to room etc won’t work

1st option:
New! You can now choose from complimentary or special pre-order prices on premium MagicBands. Order up to 11 days before your expected arrival date to have your MagicBands shipped to your home. Special pricing is valid online only.

2nd option:
Resort Reservation: Disney's Old Key West Resort
August 13 - 20
5 Days to complete your order why:

10-6 Days Before Your Trip
Choose your MagicBand and print your name. MagicBands will ship only to your Resort.

5-1 Days Before Your Trip
MagicBand selection is no longer available. Complimentary gray MagicBands will be sent to your Resort.


So we can wait longer than the 5 days and still get what we want as the stock is changing all the time? Sorry being thick

It states that if you wait until 5 or less days before you get a grey band. I don’t understand how you are reading it to potentially mean that you can wait longer than five days.

If I remember rightly I think when we went in August 2017 staying on site I think The cut off date to order customised bands was a month before check in date (pick colour of band and have name & date on the back).
Things may have changed now though.

We're the same, check in on the 11th August and saying I have 3 days to complete my order...
Really not sure why we have less time to pick, as its suggesting we need to book ours a month in advance.

Like you guys I'm struggling to get us all the magicbands we want as to try and get 5 that we would like has so far not been possible (and that's with having a few options for each person ), at one point I had three but that's the best i've managed. It is pretty silly that you can't pick one at a time and order them seperately but worst case senario I order as many as I can before the three days is up.

Even when ordering the plain bands all customisations have to be complete a month before check in, always has been the case that they cannot be changed after the month before check in passes. Only difference now is once you order the new patterned ones it closes the order and no changes possible immediately the order is placed. PS think its actually 30 days before arrival. That was certainly the case with my previous visit I couldn't change the order beyond 30 days prior to check in.
