Changed my Disney hotel... will my magic band find me?

So this morning I phoned virgin and switched my resort from ASMusic to POP century (purely for the amazing refurbed rooms and the skyline!), and I was amazed to find that it was £167 CHEAPER with a preferred room at Pop from ASMusic. So I snatched that deal up.

But I ordered my magic band on the app last month. Will it be sent to my new resort on time? I know its not till November, but I went through such a drama trying to order the damn thing!

Anyone who's done similar in the past, any advice would be amazing

Not yet. The lady at virgin said it will take disney a couple of days to change my hotel on the app.

You should be able to see what magic band is linked to your reservation when it appears. And ring them if it’s wrong.

The band will link toy you personally. I wouldn't expect any issues for a November trip, I think they ship them to resort about a week out.

We did this two trips back, don’t want to alarm anyone but our bands went AWOL. We never did find out what happened to them . However we did manage to get replacement coloured ones from the resort when we checked in it just took a little longer and we had a few issues with charging to the room and redeeming meal credits. I kept on top of it and made trips to the front desk of the resort about every 3 days to get the issues resolved. Before you ask, cos I know you want to know😉 we made changes long before our arrival date too ...like about a year before we got there. We did everything through Disney website and their call centre if that helps. All you can really do is hope they arrive where you check in and if not go with the flow and get new ones issued just insist they match the ones you chose on your account.

oh no well ive decided that should mine go awol, then I will just go an buy one from the emporiam shop in magic kingdom and just be grumpy that ive only lost $10 for the special one ive ordered. maybe disney will even honour a refund should it go awol considering ive paid for one of those fancy ones.

thank you all!

If they go to ASM - why not just visit that hotel and ask at the desk for them or ask at the new hotel to check for you if not at the correct hotel on arrival.
