Our Magic Bands Are Here!

You can tell that you're getting close to the start of your trip when two things arrive: your luggage tags for Disney's Magical Express, and your MagicBands! We received our luggage tags a few weeks ago, and just this week our MagicBands arrived. Leading up to about 30 days before our trip begins, we'd been asked (each time I looked at my itinerary page on MyDisneyExperience) to customize our MagicBands, picking a color and a name associated with them. Since Girl Scout Fiancée and I are likely to return for another trip in the next year, we decided to put more fun names on these MagicBands, making them a keepsake of our wedding trip.

Folks who know us won't be surprised at our color choices.
Like all of the new MagicBand/MyDisneyExperience paraphernalia that we've received in the last year, the MagicBands come in an Incredibles-themed package. The box is actually quite large, especially compared to the MagicBands, which are, in turn, relatively small. The inside of the box has some simple instructions on it, because wristbands require instructions (hey, I get it; new technology frightens and confuses people).

Mrs. Incredible has sealed the package tight.
And in case of a water landing...
Of course, like many of the things we're getting from Disney before our trip, I'm now trying to think of ways to preserve them without creating just a box o' junk under the bed for the rest of our lives. It also helps that the MagicBand unlocks something very special in my Disney Infinity game, as this video shows.I tried to shoot my own video, but trying to juggle an Xbox controller, an iPhone, and the Disney Infinity stuff proved too much.
