Any guests arriving November 1 to 30 receive FP+ testing invites?

[CaraMiaBelle]

Anyone get the bonus 4th FP+ selection for MK at all? Some people said today they "got POTC" but I wasn't sure if they just meant that they could book POTC as a FP+ selection as of today, or if they received the bonus 4th selection as discussed from prior testing. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure they meant that it was just available, but that would be wonderful if I assumed wrong!

Interesting thing. A few days ago I was able to customize MB's and pick Fast Pass times despite not having my park tickets linked to MDE (since I bought vouchers through Travelocity).

Well my MB's were shipped and I received them today. Pretty excited.

I don't want to jinx it, but my MB's reappeared tonight. Here's hoping everyone's reappear and we don't lose them again

Our travel dates are 11/5-11/11 and we are staying at POR. When I logged into MDE last night, I got the "customize magic bands" tab, which after doing a quick happy dance, I attempted to customize them.I kept getting an error message stating that they were unable to display my info, but to try again in 2 minutes. I called IT this morning, and the CM I spoke with told me that they were only inviting people to customize their bands for reservations through 10/31, since my reservation was for early November, I should receive the "invitation " in a few days. This seemed odd to me, as when I was attempting to customize my bands, it said I only had 3 more days to do so.
This evening, when I logged into MDE, the bands were there!! Not only that, they were customized. ( I guess all of my efforts trying to customize them last night were not wasted.)
I am currently on hold with MDE IT department ( lovely greater than 30 minute wait time) , as I want to verify that their records reflect that the bands are there and are customized.
I have been able to use Fastpass + without a problem however.

The IT member was wrong about waiting for an invitation for any reservations past 10/31. I was able to customize my MBs and do FPs around Sept 23rd, and my trip is taking place 11-15 to 23. Im glad things worked for you, finally!

They should be there no problem as more and more reports are coming out now confirming all Disney resorts will be 'testing' MBs Nov. and go live in Dec. Disney appears to be in the process of modifying the MB personalize window and ship date. With your check in date, you should be just fine now. I check in Nov. 1 and got my MBs today! My dogs are unimpressed with my fashion show, however.

We are arriving at POR 11/23 and I was able to customize magic bands and get FP + (3) last week. Are the parade options usually listed with the attraction choices? Totally confused....

I arrive 11/30 and my magic bands just showed back up.

They may not show up until 30 days before your trip from what I've read.

Yes they are usually listed with the attraction times. Nobody has been able to book them in November yet I don't think. They will probably show up later (like end of October).

We are staying at the Villas at GF and we just got a letter in the mail about magic bands and FP+. I'm very excited!

 

[Nolan4]

After speaking with a lovely CM from MDE IT, she did confirm that our magic bands have indeed been customized and will soon be sent out . It was beginning to get frustrating not being able to get past a certain point using MDE, especially having seen the magic bands then having them disappear. Like anything new, they are bound to be glitches in the system during the early stages.

Yeah I was another one of those yesterday that reported that the "Personalize MB" option had vanished. Now after working all day today, I came here to the DIS first to get an update on the status.
It was funny going thru the range of emotions reading the comments from yesterday thru tonight. First, reading the comment,s being comforted that I was not alone with losing the "Personalize MB" option. Then, reading the hope, that maybe they will show back up around the 28 day mark. Then finally, getting excited that people were getting the MB option back. So I am VERY happy to report that I TOO got the "Personalize MB" option back with all of my saved custom work.

Happy dance time....

Mind disappeared and reappeared yesterday as well.

Mind disappeared and reappeared yesterday as well.

When I checked last night, mine magically reappeared, too.

With all of the reported disappearances and reappearances, I keep checking to see if purple will appear as a color choice! No such luck. Our bands ship in 25 days. My wife's favorite color is purple AND we are Ravens fans!

I do the same thing - I would much rather have purple than pink!

Well, late last night my Mother and Aunts notice their MB showed up to personalize, they check in Nov. 3rd. The only problem was, it was the last day, saying Oct. 4th, to personalize . So we do my mother's and her party bands. The only thing we didn't do was hit the done button, because we wanted to double check everyone's names. well this morning I get her to hit the done button and they are already being personalized. So hopefully they will get the colors that they all chosen.
Now my Aunt's acct. is another story, she clicks to personalize her parties MB and they have all the names mixed up. The names for her Nov. reservation had her Jan. reservation party names on it, and to top it off last night was her last night to personalize, which means she can't call until today. Hopefully, she'll get another chance for the bands. it is so screwed up right now with this site and bands

Just an. FYI, but you can go back in and change things even after you have hit the Done button. You have until midnight on the day it says Last Day to make changes. Eve if you hit Done, they will not be processed until the day after the Last Day to customize.

My MB were just delivered! Yay! We arrive 11/2
