The plot thickens, just had another e-mail from Disney, this time saying that the 12 digit number wont be issued until 9 months prior to the holiday.
Anyone else out there booked for more than 9 months in the future been given their US reservation number?
Facebook messaged Virgin Holidays and got a reply back today.. Disney booking ref is not available until 180 days out.

Try calling Disney US directly. I did that the year before last when we'd booked to go for Oct 2012 with VH. I gave Disney all the details I had i.e names, dates, resort etc and they were able to look it up. I'm sure this is just a VH issue as this time I've booked with Ocean Florida and they were able to give me our 12 digit number at 500 days out.

Darnit, it worked for me. It was defo way before as I remember thinking I would have been stressed about getting our ADRs at 180 days out if I couldn't have got the ressie number until the same day...

I think this is right. VH don't have access to Disney's reference numbers until they are passed to VH, but Disney can look them up for you on their system. Good luck
Has anyone in the UK had their MagicBand delivered to them in UK? Or did you have to pick it up at your resort when you arrived?
Also, if you did get it sent to you in UK, was it sent out as soon as you had customised them? Or did it say something like "30 days left to customize"? (Which basically means they'll wait 30 days before they make them and send them anywhere.)
Not reading thru the whole thread to see what has been said but we saw a few people using the magicbands to fastpass rides. What a slow system, they will have to improve the speed for them to work. Sounds good to just touch your band and ride but waiting for the system to accept each rider was so slow, I would say approx 6 paper fastpass riders were going thru for each magicband.
DS out there just now and absolutely loving them. Has booked his FP+ for what he wants and then picks up paper FPs for other rides in between. The other evening he and DGF decided late on to head over to HS after a chill out day at AKL and dinner at Boma. Booked FP+ for TSM, Rock and Roller Coaster and then Star Tours followed by Fantasmic then set off. Knew before they headed out what they would get on.

Any word on linking the ultimate ticket??? We are travelling on 29th of September, and I just saw on the MDE page, that we are getting Magic Bands as we're in POR.
However we have booked all aspects of our trip separately, (flights through normal, accommodation through our CM friend who will be staying with us. And park tickets through the UK website).
So our room is in a separate booking to our tickets if you get what I mean? Will we be able to add the 14 day ticket to our Magic Band when we're there?
I'm confusing myself, as I hadn't really banked on Magic Bands being part of our trip this year!!!!
Shoulda stuck with CSR like we'd planned!
Pete.
I have the 14 Day as part of my package and the ticket's now been added to MDE successfully, so I imagine with a ticket code / order number it'll be fine for you...

I've just checked in (60 days to go!) and I'm at the YC.
The option to book FP + is down the side but when I click it, it only shows up thi weeks dates then an error message crops ups with "must select dates within reservation window" but it doesnt let me change the dates to my holiday dates?!
Any ideas?
