But I will, just for you, keep checking and let you know if there is a change!
Thanks
But I will, just for you, keep checking and let you know if there is a change!
The discussion of whether or not FP+'s are a good idea is really not the topic of this thread. This thread is for the discussion of FP+ and Magic Bands for people who are checking into WDW resorts in the month of November.
There have been lots of discussion threads about the value of FP+. In fact, there is a new one here which might draw a bigger audience than a November thread will:
Is there a reason fp+ needs to be limited?
I'm one of the people who is hoping that MB's and FP+'s are available for our stay at WL in November. I'm hoping that good news comes out this week.
just got off phone with IT to fix one of our problems...she will be calling me back when its done! only on hold for 10 minutes!
I asked her about November arrival's getting MB / FP+ and she said they haven't been told as of yet if they will be released.
let's break out the it could be awhile before we find out!
Fwiw...
We were originally booked Sept 18-24 at AoA. Had received our MBs & made all our FP+ picks. A little over 2 weeks prior to check-in, we had to push the trip back to November. We are now at POR Nov 17-23. I hadn't given much thought since we already had MBs and I thought I read POR was testing so I figured at some point I could make my picks.
Well, I just check MDE and my MBs are "gone" from the linked ticket part and I don't have the option to order new and/or select FP+ times. I can't even see the FP+ screen.
Who knows.
Never received an email, however today when I logged onto mydisneyexperience and clicked the magicband link, there was my invitation to customize my bands for our October 31st check-in We are beyond excited!!!! 52 days and counting!!!

Just got off the phone with IT - our conversation was about my bands being shipped (my ressie cancelled because I overnighted a payment and it wasn't applied but anywho....)
Me: I just wanted to make sure my band order is being processed since my reservation was cancelled and reinstated, and that everything is still okay.
Him: Yes ma'am it is. I see the bands being processed right now.
Me: Okay, great. Now, I can use these for other trips after this one as well? (Ghost ressie to get the bands - questionable ethics I know )
Him: No ma'am, as it is right now you'll get a new set of bands for each resort you check in and out of, and all resorts will be live on the system by October 1st.
Me: Oh....ummmmm, I didn't know this. I thought they were reusable. That seems sort of wasteful.
Him: Well ma'am, they haven't made an official announcement about reusing them, but for now each checkin gets a new set of bands. We may know more after all the resorts are on the system after October 1st.
Sooooo, obviously in true Disney fashion we have no idea how true this is at all, but could be some good news for us November people!

https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/bands-cards/future-visit-use/Q. Can I reuse my MagicBand or card the next time I visit Walt Disney World Resort?
A. Yes. If you have a MagicBand or card that you like, and it is in working condition, you can continue to use it when you return to Walt Disney World Resort.
MagicBands are currently being tested by a limited number of pre-selected Guests. Due to the nature of the test, we are unable to accommodate requests to participate.
If you have multiple MagicBands or cards, you can manage which ones are active in the MagicBand section of My Profile.
Don't hold your breath...I don't know what issues you are having but I initially contacted them on Aug. 26th and they STILL haven't finished fixing our issues with our account/passes etc....
Just wanted you to know and not get disspointed as they told me they'd have it all fixed by Aug. 30th...
I for one have had great interaction and responses from the IT dept, even sent a note to guest services in appreciation of one IT lady so not disappointed at all, just staying patient and looking forward to having a wonderful, magical trip with my DD and our great friends whether we get a MB and FP+ or not!
