Mickey Mail arrived today!

Was excited to see two sets of 12 digit numbers on my DME tags but, alas, neither worked for BoG FP+. Rats.

Oh well! I got Mickey Mail

You make me want to dance with you.

We arrive on the 16th so maybe this week we will see Mickey Mail!!!

In MDE, place your cursor over the Modify Check In (don't click!). Your fully numerical reservation number will appear in the lower left hand corner of your screen. That number worked for my BOG lunch ressie.

I hope you get MM this week, too!

I haven't done online check in, but hovering over "Check in online" got me the 12 digit number. Unfortunately, I get "Guest already registered" when I try to get the FP. Boo

26 days for us, with 18 more work days for me!
Got Mickey Mail today! Our magic bands arrived in their cute little box! I had to try mine on, of course!
DS1 went to an awards ceremony with his gf, I already helped DS2 with all his homework, and his baseball practice was cancelled for rain, so I think I'll take time to write my little cards over to add our fp+ times and maybe a basic order plan. I love Disney planning!

Been wearing mine for a few hours each day since they came last week, but just to be sure I get it comfortable! I have found that trimming the excess gray band allows the MB to fit more comfortably, and placing a heavy book on top of the band squishes it so the curve of the band more comfortably fits my wrist with the Mickey face on the outside. Serious research!

If you click on "MagicBands & Cards" under MDE the confirmation number listed there will work for a FP+ for BOG. Just did it earlier today myself.

well now you will have me doing the test this and test that when mine comes. I had resorted to the fact I would wear it attached to my belt loop but then realized that two days my pants don't have belt loops.

Hey who ever sent this wind and rain up here to Massachusetts, can I get a break. My friends the next town over still don't have power. I'm in deep do do trouble if we loose power before my husband gets home. My DS21 with Autism does not do well in no power at all. sigh.

I need a vacation!

Use a different e-mail address and it will work. I used my daughter's (who is on my reservation) email and it worked for me.

88 and sunny here, would trade if I could! I so miss a good rain storm. As long as I'm not on vacation, that is...

No thanks. I don't much like above 80. Especially humidity.
That is unless I'm on vacation that consists of only sitting by a pool.

I so hope the Disney weather the week of November 16th is sunny but in the 70s. I don't ask for much, just perfect walking weather. I don't mind a jacket at night.

I checked out the "average" weather for November as well as February. Both say 70s. Yippee. I'm tired of New England. I just need some break time away.

People were saying they like Christmas. LOL I can't relate but that is because our holidays gets complicated. I'm hoping I fall in love with Christmas during our early Christmas vacation.

Happy dreaming everyone. We'll be there soon.

34 days! Got my Mickey mail yestday woohoo! I can't wait for the magic bands to arrive hopefully next week. This weekend we have comic con in NYC, after that I am getting the suitcases out! I still can't figure out if I want to change itinerary.

I am so jealous (and so is hubby). We really wanted to make it up for the Con, but, with Disney, we just couldn't justify the expense. He really wanted to meet E-Bas from Zenoscope (they're friends).

As for weather, I've already begun checking Accuweather daily to see what is in the card for my vacation. So far, thunderstorms our first two and day four of the parks. But it's over 3 weeks out....I'm sure it will change.

Will it tell me 40 days out?

Figment chick, you can be jealous because DH and I go almost free I write for a family blog and have a pro pass, DH and I are both writing and live blogging for bleeding cool.com and his press pass was free. Although we have to pay for parking since I am not able to take subway stairs, and we can only go one day without a baby in tow (me), third and fri he can only go after long day of work. It's so fun though! I am nervous to write for BC!

It was just pouring here in RI and the wind is horrible, I thought they were saying tornado warnings not sure if it was here or MA, after 3 days of rainy weather I'm ready for the sun

DH is taking the train in to go to ComicCon Saturday. I will stay home with the kids and have a countdown party

We also had the tornado warnings all day! (NJ) it was so scary! I kept checking the sky and right around 3:00 the clouds turned a dark gray/blackish color and the wind and rain came out of no where! Thank goodness it only lasted about 5-10 minutes!! I was sure I was running into the basement!

That being said, can't wait till Disney!!!! lol

Use a different e-mail address and it will work. I used my daughter's (who is on my reservation) email and it worked for me.

Ok. I did that with my DH's but the only thing that came up was, "Add a Celebration. Tell us who in your party is celebrating something special."

There is no other text on the page. No other places to click on other than at the top where you have the Mickey head icon and "home" next to it on the upper left, then on the right, "Welcome, Dillon!" and the logout button (oh, and the "help" icon. At the bottom right is the "done" button.

I remember this screen from the first time I got "in" with my email address. Once you hit "done" and then try to go back and do it again, it says, "Guest already registered."

I'm sitting here with this dumb screen on my computer as if something magical is going to happen if I wait long enough. UGGGH! I just don't know what I'm doing wrong

Thank you, but it brought up the same # I have already tried.

I guess it's just not meant to be.

I'm sorry you are still having trouble. It was a while before i was able to get through on the BOG link too so I understand your frustration.
I can't remember if you mentioned this , but did you try setting up a brand new Disney account with a new email not currently associated with your accounts and try that email? You don't have to link anything to it. Just use it for the email address. That's the only thing that worked for me.
Good Luck! I hope you are able to get through soon!
