    Magic Bands info for the new test dates in August

    I wonder if I can call back today and try and get the color/name on them since this is 9 days out. They said they are shipping them to the resort...but I don't know if they really are. 10 days out I couldn't customize on-line, but I linked my UT tickets yesterday (10 days out). I have no idea...

    Magic Bands info for the new test dates in August

    I was able to link my UT tickets on-line. The tech support guy told me to pick the older ticket option, and then select 'ticket with id'. then I added the 17-digit (i think) ticket and it came back with the correct ticket (ie. 10 day hopper with fun) so I know it got it right.

    Magic Bands info for the new test dates in August

    I was told that they will have the names. I tried to customize them 10 days out (the deadline on my email/letter) and they were already ordered in grey. The CM told me that they will definitely have names on them so we can use the correct ones (my DH has 7-day hoppers, while we all have 10-day...

    Magic Bands info for the new test dates in August

    OK. I decided to go for it. Called the tech support number to verify that going to the WL first was not going to mess anything up. The tech support guy said my magic bands are already ordered and are grey. I guess the form that said customize your magic bands by july 23 should have said 'before...

    Magic Bands info for the new test dates in August

    my family doesn't want to do the FP+. I only have today to sign up. I think I'll call the support number, but have to run out right now. Has anyone asked the support/IT people if we are allowed to cancel the Magic Bands, FP+ if we don't like it after a day? I am afraid that my family will hate...

    did you guys notice fastpass+ and manage magic band is finally up

    Oh, but you are able to use the MagicBand/FP+ while you are at the YC-part of your trip? I was nervous that I couldn't use it for the YC? We're only at the WL for 1 day so it's ok if I can't use it for that one day. I'll call to verify too.

    did you guys notice fastpass+ and manage magic band is finally up

    I just got an email from Disney Destinations saying that I can particpate in the Magic Bands, FastPass+ testing. We are staying at the YC from Aug 2-Aug 9. I assume it will work with my tickets from UndercoverTourist? I should be getting them in the mail in the next day or so. My question...

    Simple Thing a Cast Member Did...

    We just got back 2 weeks ago, and one thing that my kids still talk about was 'getting an elevator all to ourselves'. One night we (my 2 kids, my 2 nieces, me and my BIL) decided to go on the ToT since there wasn't much of a line...the usual 13 minutes. My DH and DSis were too chicken so they...

    Glad we got in standby line for Toy Story Mania

    We just got back from our trip last week. I was so proud to be at the HS rope drop twice! Both times I was on the right side right behind the CMs walking. Both times were completely different! The first time it was a nice walk with everyone smiling, chatting with one lone guy trying to dart out...

    Harry Potter Crowd Report Thread...

    Stew Mouse, I was also there on Tuesday, the 23rd. I wonder if the single rider line was long due to the fact the FJ was down for an hour to start the day. We got there at 8:10am and got right in line. But the line wasn't moving. They said the ride started up fine, but then shut down a few...

    Photos: Supermodel Elle Macpherson Visits Universal Orlando Resort with Family

    We were on the Mummy ride that day, but unfortunately didn't see her. I know that my husband would have noticed her if she were there at the same time as us!

    2011 Yacht & Beach Club FAQ, Part II

    I just changed my trip from June to August. Our kids had too many snow dates to stay with June, and I didn’t want my daughter to have to take her high school finals early so we’re heading to the Yacht Club Aug 11 – 21!!! Unfortunately, my son didn’t want to miss out on too much summer camp...

    A cruise, a birthday, and a little bit of Disney World...April 20-26th..UPDATED 5/17

    Hey momto2inKC, Either we were following you or you were following us.... We were at DTD on the night of April 20th. We had dinner at the T-Rex restaurant to celebrate my son's 10th bday ...the line to get in was big, but we had a reservation so we didn't have to wait in the line...

    Gluten Free Dining at US/IOA

    I have Celiac and was there last month. We at Finnegan's at Universal and the NBA restaurant, and both were great. Your family shouldn't have trouble eating at Universal (Disney was great with Celiac too). I've also eaten at Emerils (need OpenTable ressie) and Mythos. Those were great too...

    Just back from 10 days at Beach Club, Rained every day and parks still packed

    michelleiada, I couldn't agree with you more about the Epcot buses! We stayed at the YC last month and the buses were the worst we'd seen in our past 4 visits. My DH never gets upset, but this time he came home and wrote a letter to Disney about how bad the Epcot buses were. We constantly...

    not going back

    We ate there last week, and my DH got a steak, and I got the chicken dish. My DH, who loves to eat at the high-end restaurants, said it was the best meal for the value that he had the whole trip. Not the best meal, but the best meal for the price. He enjoyed his steak and my chicken was very...

    What are the hairdyers like specifically at the WL

    We just got back from the WL and although the hairdryer is not quite as powerful as mine at home, I thought it worked really well for my daughter and me (long and thick hair). It didn't seem to take any longer drying hair with it than my dryer. My husband didn't want to pack the extra weight of...

    To/from Logan airport Boston

    another vote for pre-flight. We also used to take a towncar or van service. Now it's gotten too expensive. We have used pre-flight twice this winter (once was actually yesterday) and I am very happy with the cost and how quickly the van picks you up (never had to wait more than a few minutes)...
