What do you get when you do FastPass for Wishes or one of the parades? Is there a specific viewing area?

These are my FP+ reservations for 8/25 in case anyone wants to see what it looks like. It says to be at the Rose Garden for Wishes viewing. It will be nice to not have to sit in a spot for an hour and a half, hoping and praying neither of us has to use the bathroom...

Did you get an email confirmation from Disney? Read my pp. so bummed/annoyed.

Woah major update- just called Disney (when asked by automated responder the nature of my call I said fast pass plus and it directed me straight to tech support) about not being to add my kids. My access is apparently an error. PEOPLE WHO ARE REAL TESTERS HAVE RECEIVED AN EMAIL WITH A SPECIAL CODE. Even though the website let me customize bands and make some fp reservations times- CM says we will not be part of the test group. Booooo

Friends- don't waste your time planning like I just did unless you received an email. So bummed.

And a CM told me something totally different. I don't think you can always go by the word of just one. I would keep checking the website or try calling on another day. What resort are you staying at?

Welcome and Happy Planning--we'll also be at POR the same time![/QUOTE

My favorite resort

 

[amomma23]

Kinda makes me wish I would've booked that deal through *** now...

I thought EXACTLY the same thing! I rallied hard for YC, but DH and DS10 wanted to keep our FD bounceback at POR . I did rub it in pretty good when I found our YC is part of the test.

Pop- I mentioned that and that it is during test dates and he again confirmed error on their part.

Well, my predictions appear to be on track for the FP+/MagicBand rollout. Widespread testing in August and a full rollout in the fall. Those staying at the testing resorts in August are getting the full experience and those with reservations in the fall are being told they can pick FP and MagicBands for their later reservations.

Wonder if pigletto is seeing that for their December trip?

DH and I are going in November, but I don't have access to Magic Bands or anything for that trip, yet. Maybe once we get closer to 60 days out, though.

 

[Mrs. M. Mouse]

Heading home from my summer class midterm now (got a 93% too - anyone care to celebrate with me?) and hoping to be able to get MagicBands. Anyone know if BWI is included in the test?

Woooo!! Wtg

I don't think being is in the test group cause we're staying there too and have heard nothing :-(

I don't know. Have we heard of anyone who has received an email yet?


Also want to add -- reservations I made for FP+ are also up and connected to everything on the MDE app. Although I have been lucky with the app and the website, I seem to have not experienced the issues a lot of people report. Everything has been working smoothly with both for the last few months for me.

I hope it works for you! I have not read of anyone with the email invite.

Good luck to you too! I have a feeling we won't know anything for sure for a while yet.

I would be so upset if this was in error. I rearranged my schedule to work with the attractions and times they gave me.

I wonder if being solo is why I didn't get the options to choose parades or fireworks.

I doubt it's an error...somebody else I know that is going a week before me just tried and can not get access to the FP+ reservations...

I don't think being solo is the problem- I am finding very limited dates available for the parades/fireworks...those are clearly hot ticket items!

Not sure how much you played around with they system, but after you confirm the times they give you, you can go back and change times for each individual attraction...I was able to get much better choices this way!

 

[ArielRae]

I plan to play with it some more tonight.

 

[B's Marie]

Ummmm just customized our bands.

I keep checking the website hoping something has changed but no luck I really am disappointed! I wish BWI was part of the test but it doesn't look like it is.

OMG, I'm nervous, scared and excited! I just noticed that I now have the FastPass+ option on MDE.
So I’m doing a split stay…Aug 14-22 at AoA and Aug 22-27 at CR.
It will only allow me to make FASTPASS+ selections for my stay at CR.
No invite email yet.

Under the Select Party…it’s not letting me select my kids (it says “Not eligible for My Magic+”.) I’m hoping my selections will still apply to them.
Has anyone seen that before?

 

[ArielRae]

I can see all my FP+ on the mobile app.

 

[DisMom1981]

Yes!! Me too!!!!!'

Don't get your hopes up. Disney told me it was an error that have me access. If I was a real tester I would have received an email......not sure if it is correct but it was what FP disney tech told me.
