Just back from our short trip to the YC after dropping off DS at college in Melbourne. It was extremely hot and humid last week, so not a lot of park time this trip. We did have the Magic Bands and set up FP+ for Toy Story Mania and a few others and everything went very well. The only problem we had with the Magic Bands was getting into the parks. Both DW and I had to try several times at MK, DHS and Epcot. At DHS a CM had to scan my Magic Band, check the info on her Ipad then confirm I was using an AP and asked for my ID.
We were staying CL and had a working fridge (room 5225, Lagoon View upgrade with a full balcony) and Joffreys coffee.
We also saw one of our favorite CL CMs, Virginia. If anyone is there now and sees her (she works at either the desk or in the lounge) tell her "Trouble says Hi!". It's a long story, but she and I have been teasing each other every time we've seen her, for several years. She's a fantastic CM and will do anything she can to make your stay more enjoyable.
If anyone has any questions, fire away.
Forgot to mention...... we were told the Magic Band test is extended at the YC until at least 10/31.
