    Did I miss my FP+ email?

    Glad to see I'm not the only one, either. I was able to customize and make selections on Saturday. When I talked to a cast member they said to keep a close watch on my email, but still nothing. Oh well, I'm excited regardless.

    Customizing Magic Bands

    As of now, we just have our actual names on there. Unfortunately, my go-to nickname, Silverstar, is one character over the limit. We're considering (we have 4 days to change) to Mattman and Nita, what my surprise little brother called us when he was just starting to talk.

    Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

    So it's just there with all of your other check-in materials? Nice!

    Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

    So, for people involved in testing, do they give you the KTTW card in addition to your MB automatically or do you have to ask for it? If so, how does that whole process work? Keeping both the MB and KTTW active?

    Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

    My wife was disappointed there was no purple as well. As for me, I'm all about orange. The band will match my Chucks.

    Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

    That is absolutely phenomenal and makes the fact that I'll be turning 30 midway through the trip not matter anymore. I was convinced that testing the Magic Band meant you were inelligible for the regular card and there for couldn't get paper FPs. I seriously had a moment of pure happiness...

    Are you serious? That sounds too good to be true!

    Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

    So... I habitually click the FastPass+ link on MDE every day just to see if anything has changed. Well, it changed today. Reading the thread, apparently our first night at AoA is qualifying us to test for the whole week. We haven't received notification yet, but the evidence is all there...

    FP+ Details Are Out!

    That got confusing in there, but the opposite is true. It doesn't have to be a package to count.

    FP+ Details Are Out!

    The most encouraging thing I get from this is that they are listening. They aren't going to say "here it is, take it or leave it, chumps!" It may get rolled out and have a lot of growing pains, but it sounds like they're very willing to listen and adapt accordingly.

    FP+ Details Are Out!

    So I'm misinterpreting what Magic Your Way means. As long as I bought a ticket and linked it with my stay, I will be able to start reserving FP+ 60 days out even if I didn't order a "package" when I bought the tickets. Okay, that's a relief.

    FP+ Details Are Out!

    Do only Magic Your Way package people get to arrange FP+ 60 days out? For example, our trip in September was booked mostly via DVC so it wasn't MYW. It would really suck if that meant people like us, who didn't book it as a package get stuck with the less than stellar FP+.

    Gift cards as DDP alternative

    Non-Target gift cards bought there still get the 5% discount? My wife and I get the 5% discount through the prescription program and had our fingers crossed that we could use the discount on a bunch of Disney GCs.

    Space Mountain Refurbishment

    I hope this is incorrect. This is practically my entire trip and it was down for refurb the last time I was there.

    Are you worried about the future of WDW attractions?

    While WDW hasn't had a real knockout punch since EE, it's clear Disney still has it in them. The new Star Tours technology could easily be adapted into different, original rides, the additions to Haunted Mansion are pretty great, and if you've seen the video for Mystic Manor in Hong Kong, you...

    Are you worried about the future of WDW attractions?

    I must be missing something because I don't see how Disney isn't still that. The problem seems to be that when Disney goes back to the classic well like that (and like they're doing with Mine Train which is likely to be Thunder Mountain meets Snow White) people complain it's not enough. You...

    Are you worried about the future of WDW attractions?

    I'm probably alone in this opinion, but I feel that Universal is really overrated. Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff there, but people treat it like it's the end-all-be-all as far as attractions go. Even the state of the art stuff there has this... phony advertisement quality to it. Like they...

    Drawf mine train - are we setting ourselves up for disappointment?

    I don't like Avatar at all and don't think it will be a movie series that will stand the test of time like Star Wars or Indiana Jones (or Harry Potter for that matter) but I DO think that it's could provide a deep source for some excellent rides and elaborate theming. It could very likely become...

    Bldg Request for OKW

    I called to check and was definitely wrong. 23-26 are indeed preferred HH buildings. Sorry about the confusion.

    Bldg Request for OKW

    Hmmm, when I booked our trip the specific HH buildings weren't available so I was actually advised to request 23-26. I was under the impression it was only those buildings immediately in front of HH that count. I'll have to look into it and make sure.
