September - Magic Bands?

Staying at Pop 9/24-10-/1. FastPass+ 9/24-9/28. No bands yet though, anyone else have that problem?

Have you checked in online? In the other tread about sept bands people are saying if you modify your online check in. And resave it the bands come right up. Worth a shot. Just change your arrival time. Can always be changed back.
 
Had a reservation for all stars movies sept 7 to 14.. no fast pass + and no MB :( so guest what.. I wanted the MB and fast pass + so bad that I just call Disney and change my reservation for pop instead of all star.. I was ready to pay a fee for changing reservation because the trip is only in 23 days.. The guy I spoke too was so great and I was able to change the reservation at no extra cost .. making the happy dance!!!!! I just customize my MB and made my fast pass reservation..

By the way i'M Canadian so tell me that I wont receive it by mail and that the bands will be at the resorts.. 2 pink, one red and one green. He also confirm me that they wil give us a key to the world card also so we will be able to make regular fast pass also.. It'S gonna be a WONDERFUL trip.. I'm a so happy mother right now!!!

We did the exact same thing! We were at ASMovies Sept.7-12 and decided I wanted magic bands and fast pass+ so last night I changed resorts to Pop Century!!!! Our MagicBands are customized and getting ready to ship! Fast Pass+ options are chosen! I am so ready!!! 21 days till we leave!!!
 
we are staying WL 9/20 - 9/27 with free dinning. we are arriving in orlando on 9/19 in the evening and were going to be staying offsite. however, tonight i booked a 1 night RO for POP for 9/19 and I am now able to book FP+ for our entire stay and i was able to select / customize MB.

i just spoke to a MDE cast member who is helping with the testing and said that the MB/FP+ only work until midnight of the check out day of the resorts included in the test. she said that you are even able to add FP+ for all days but they will not work :sad2: I was thinking of adding an extra day at one of the test resorts too. I asked specifically about if they can be linked to the other reservation and she said that is not within the parameters at this time but might change.

Wow, this is totally contrary to what I have been told. I can even make FP+ selections for days after we check out. Maybe because I have an AP?

I just checked and I can make FP+ selections through to when my AP expires in mid October.
 
Grrrr....we actually just switched from Poly to WL due to the mess with construction and now I find out the Poly will get MB?!?! Uh oh...my kids are going to be SO MAD at me! :headache:
 


We are staying at POR on 9/18 for one night, leaving for the Disney Cruise on 9/19 and returning for a stay at the Poly 9/22-9/25. I was able to make FP+ selections earlier this week, but had not been able to customize Magic Bands - until today. I read a tip to redo the online check-in, so I did that today and now have the option to customize Magic Bands for POR and Poly!!!:cheer2:

she said you would be able to make the FP+ reservations but the band will not work if you are not checked in at a test resort. I didnt ask about AP MB. i booked an extra night any way and hope they change that parameter of the test. if not we got an expensive souvenir!
 
Ok so I just did what someone said to do... went into my online check in changed the time and then clicked on learn about magic bands... and when I did that I clicked on a link within that window and lo and behold... the I have 3 days to customize my bands popped up with a confirm my mailing address.... so I picked the colors and names all the FP + stuff was done yesterday... so they are ordered :thumbsup2:thumbsup2 I am staying at BCV's 9/18-9/23.

How far out from ur trip do you need to be to do this?

My parents aren't going until September 19 and after we did their online check in their magic bands popped up and said they had 4 days to customize. So if I was you as soon as you hit around 35 days I would do it!

I am at 21 days and mine just popped up last night and are ordered and in the process of shipping.
 
I'm sooooo excited and this is the only place to share because it's a surprise trip for the kids.

Just customized MBs for 9/12-9/15 POR stay thanks to info about online check-in. FP+ picks done but still trying to get BOG FP+.

I couldn't have gotten this crazy trip together with all the perks without DIS board friends. You guys are awesome.

- If you do the "FastPicks" for MK it sometimes gives a bonus FP so you have 4 and you can modify them to things and times you want after confirmation.

You can also pik three. Then when you go in to edit the bonus pass will pop up. I'm sure your kids will be very surprised and excited!!
 
I have been able to do FP+ times for two days now, but didn't have a MB option (checking in at BCV 9/12) until I followed the pointers to re-check in online. Changed my check in/check out times and saved it and my MB customization option popped up.

We are doing a series of split stays but it looks like the Contemporary is on the list of approved resorts for the September stay, so we will be able to use the MB when we come back for a night stay at BLT before the Fantasy. Sad though because after the Fantasy we are at BWV and I didn't see them on the list....

I honestly have no idea... I don't think theres a rhyme or reason for any of it! I just follow this thread and saw someone said make a change to online and I did and then I could do Magic Bands... I did set all the Fast Pass + stuff up yesterday thought.

Good Luck

:yay: I'm at 29 days. Yesterday I went on and saw the FP+ selections. Today after reading this board, I did the online check in, logged out, then back in and was able to order our bands. We are staying at Coronado Springs. I am so excited. It looks like they are rolling these out everywhere.

Really? Coronado Springs wasn't on the list of September test resorts according to Disney. Hmmmmmmm
