Just checked in POFQ and got the old magicbands. Everyone else seems to be wearing the new ones but us! No luggage tags tho I asked.

Luckily we did get our colour choices.Thank you for posting your report August2010. Did you get the colours you had requested?
I hope we will get the new version when we go in May as I've ordered some custom skins for our 25th wedding anniversary.
If not, is there any reason we couldn't just request the new version on check-in, knowing we'd likely just get the grey ones?
My husband called Disney today regarding the Magic Bands and they told him that we are getting the old style bands when we check in on March 7th (AKL) and March 12th (POFQ).

It's my understanding (And I could be wrong) That Disney is giving the MagicBand2 to florida residents, DVC members, and annual passholders now. And will be rolling them out for everyone later in the year
When we were there in January I upgraded to an Annual Pass. Later i noticed in my account that I could order a magic band to go along with it and have it delivered to the resort if we were staying at least 10 days --- since we still had almost 3 weeks i figured i would go ahead. Less than 24 hours later i got an email saying it was at the front desk.... Yup, yet ANOTHER old band. Must admit i was more disappointed than i should have been but i wanted to get a snazzy holder for it so i could use it as a zipper pull at homeIt's my understanding (And I could be wrong) That Disney is giving the MagicBand2 to florida residents, DVC members, and annual passholders now.

Also a little annoyed on principle that they are dumping old inventory on non-resident visitors. Why not just send the old style to everyone until they run out, then switch across the board? It's not like we're given a choice on the shipping.
This is exactly what bothers me! When my husband called about it, he was actually told that everyone was getting the new magic bands. My husband said that he heard on the disboards that the old style were still being given to those who had to pick up their bands at checkin, to which the agent replied ' you should never believe what you hear on the disboards'. When he insisted that she check into it. She came back and said that we were indeed getting the old style.
