Tonight at midnight I have a date with some fast pass booking

 

[azureskies]

We're at 42 days and time is going by fast and slow believe it or not. Pretty soon we'll all be able to say, we're going to Disney NEXT MONTH!

A few weeks back things seemed to be moving like molasses, now things seem to be moving along a bit quicker. Being able to do the on-line check-in and the FP helps make you realize it IS getting here.

60 days today!! Successfully did my FP+ choices and my online check in this morning!! Everything went smooth! Fingers crossed for a second floor room in the 70s section at POP (extra hope for the room being ready for our early arrival )

Getting close now!!

I made my FP+ reservations... even got A&E reservations. Tried to check on something earlier and the system didn't recognize my email and password... now almost 12 hours later, still can not access my MDE account.

I tried to request a password reminder and it says no account associated with that email.... I'm getting a little annoyed.

Time to sit on hold with Disney tomorrow.

We are heading to Disney September 28-October 4th. 2 months away!!! Can't wait. Not sure who's more excited me or my 6 year old. We are not staying on grounds, we have a 3 bedroom Condo at Vista Cay. Has anyone who stays off grounds had a hard time getting fast passes for A&E?

41 days! Well 40 days and 2 hours

 

[KNovacovschi]

Booked FP+ right at 12 and I'm so glad I did. I did Oct 1st first for A&E and the earliest time I could get was 3:10-4:10, when I was done all my FP's I decided to go back and see if I could change it and there were no alternate times available. But that's ok at least I was able to get one.

My FP's are as follows, but may change times a few times before our trip.

Sept 27 - arrival day but not going to parks so no FP

28 - EPCOT - Spaceship Earth - 9:35-10:35
Mission: SPACE - 10:50-11:50
SOARIN - 11:55-12:55

29 - MK - Key to the Kingdom Tour - 9-2
Buzz Lightyear - 3-4
7DMT - 4:30-5:30
Big Thunder Railroad - 5:50-6:50

30 - HS - Toy Story Mania - 10:20-11:20
Tower of Terror - 11:25-12:25
Star Tours - 12:25-1:25

Oct 1 - MK - Pirates of the Carribean - 10:10-11:10
Space Mountain - 1:30-2:30
Anna & Elsa - 3:10-4:10

2 - EPCOT - Spaceship Earth - 10:10-11:10
Test Track - 11:15-12:15
The Seas with Nemo & Friends - 1:15-2:15

So we did receive what we wanted and pretty much the times we wanted but since it is still 2 months away I will definitely be tweaking them in the coming months.

I hope everyone else got what they wanted as well.

Called Disney, and they said that there was a second account with my email address that was mucking things up. I seriously doubt it. I didn't create a second account, I haven't created an account with them in years. More like their database corrupted somehow.

Either way, the kind man fixed it within 2 or 3 minutes, all of my FP+ etc were still there, and no harm done.

Of course I demanded A&E fastpasses as compensation from him ruing my vacation... no go, but at least I tried! (he seemed to appreciate the chuckle first thing in the morning)

Hello September vacationers!

We're at 42 days and time is going by fast and slow believe it or not. Pretty soon we'll all be able to say, we're going to Disney NEXT MONTH!

Everyone have their FP+ and ADR's set?

I cannot wait til Friday, the first thing I'm gonna say is "we're going to Disney next month!" I've been waiting for that for a while!!! 7 weeks to go for us....we have so much going on for the remainder of the summer so I know the time is going to fly...but at the same time I feel like the time is dragging....I just wanna be there!!!!

 

[tcorrero]

Keep trying. I had one pop up about an hour after I was done doing all my initial ones. It is close to the MSELP but by that time we would have maybe seen it 3 or 4 times, no big deal. Also, Disney is said to be working on improving thoughput on that experience. If they find a way for them to "take up more space in the building" they would be able to accommodate more people. It might suddenly open up more fast passes. They certainly sound like they are trying to increase capacity.

Thank you! I am going to keep checking! I do see where some people have been able to get them so there is hope! Lol. If not, I'll just be standing in line I guess... I can't think of a better place to stand in line. At the end of the day IM STILL AT DISNEY! Lol

When I checked a couple mins ago on Oct 1st it showed availability at 7:10, that was by doing it individually though not the 2 of us together.

Ok thanks!

 

[KNovacovschi]

Ok thanks!

Where you able to get A&E? That is if it was an MK day for you?

 

[KNovacovschi]

Just paid off balance and did on-line check in.

Now I have 60 days to wait and not sure what to do with myself. Guess I can continue to tweak my FP's and I do have to go through what I have and don't have for the trip. I guess making that list will take some time, maybe a day or two.

Tweak #1 and hopefully only one. Yeah who am I kidding.

Changes are in color.

Is there anyway/where to check the status on magic bands? As in, have they been shipped and when to look out for them? Thanks!
