I put it on when the box arrives in the mail, just to try it on for size. The I put it back on before we leave for the airport. My wife waits until we are on the Magical Express. Last year I was having trouble with the band. It kept popping off. When we had arrived at MCO and were walking up to the Magical Express check-in I noticed my band was gone. I was in such a funk. Fortunately they replaced the band when I got to the resort, but it still wasn't MY band.
