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

Just received our official invite in the mail today for CSR Nov. 11-15. Glad I didn't wait until I received the official invite, because today is my last day to customize the MBs.

Well, I was very excited yesterday when I received the UPS email stating an air mail was scheduled to be delivered today! However, when the package came this morning, it was only one of our room reservations (the grandparents in separate room with separate reservation #)--much sadness, that the planner of the whole trip (me!) has to wait until next week to get our MBs even though our reservations start on the same day (Nov 9th) and our reservations are "linked". Oh well, it will still be exciting to get them on Monday!

Can you or someone else receiving this error post a screenshot of it? Just curious what it looks like. I remember when we first logged in on the BoG FP, you needed to link your reservation to it before it would let you book it. This was a couple months ago at least though. I wonder if they've kind of blocked it for people after a certain date, like you had to log in and link your reservation before a certain date, like 9/15 or something, otherwise you can't anymore.

Here's the error:



It is not blocked by date. I successfully booked BOG lunch FPs for two of the three rooms my extended family has booked. All of us arrive on the same dates. Only one throws this error, even using more than one account.

That's the same error I've been getting for a month. I've tried different email addresses and the other two adults in our room and keep seeing the same message

I got the invitation in the mail today for Nov 10-15 even though I made my selections a 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Got my invite last night for our Nov 8-11 stay. We don't have tix so I was going to go ahead and order my AP's over the phone so I could have a will call #. Didn't miss the chance to customize?

Exactly the same error message that I have
We have two separate reservations and have entered both confirmation numbers but get the same message for both 'guest already registered'

We check in on November 4th, no invite yet. We were able to link our AP's in MDE and customize magic bands, so it will be interesting to see what happens at check in.
I think at this point if it's not at full roll out and we have a choice between FP+ and FP- we'll stick to the old system.

If you are getting MBs and have tickets linked, you should be able to do FP+ now. You don't need an invite, assuming you are staying on property. I think chances are good you will be able to use both systems so not sure why you wouldn't take advantage of it.

1 quick question........

1. I remember a few weeks back, the folks using the Be Our Guest Lunch link were getting locked out of their MDE & it was messing it up, has this been corrected? I am thinking about trying it, but my MDE is so far perfect & I have had no problems (all tickets/rooms done thru MDE & only 1 account).

You don't need tickets to personalize your MBs, just for selecting FP+.

There are a lot of reports on these boards about AP holders only being able to use one or the other, due to glitches or whatever. Don't want to take the chance of being stuck with only 3 FP's per day.

I had no problems with MDE after making BoG lunch ressies. Was not invited either, went because of the posts here. After reading about it though, now I'm really excited about trying BoG! The reservation doesn't show up on MDE, but I am confirmed on the BoG webpage.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I already have a dinner reservation (which shows on MDE), but wanted to also give lunch a try also.
But a few weeks ago, folks that made reservation on the BOG lunch link then were having all their MDE stuff disappear or could not gain access to their MDE info after that, so I was concerned that all that had been resolved.
Thank you again !!

I tried but just could not make it through all 150+ pages here! But, I have a split stay at 3 resorts Nov. 7-13. I have received 2 of 3 MB's in the mail so far. I never received a testing invite via mail or email. FP+ showed up for me 3-4 weeks ago in MDE. Also, I have an AP that I converted to RFID in May. My hope is that I can enter the park with the AP card and use it for good, boring ol' FP I have seen in other threads this has worked for some. I still have to carry it for discounts anyways. I am going to ask at check-in and see what they say but other than that all I can do is cross my fingers!

For those having trouble with the BOG site, try a different browser. I was having no luck with Chrome but Firefox worked fine.

Super excited.

I was just checking my FastPass+ selections and noticed the revised hours are posted for Magic Kingdom Thanksgiving week. The MK is now open 8am to 1 am many nights! AK is open to 8 pm. At this time DHS is still closing at 8 pm. Hopefully the new hours just haven't been loaded yet.

Ooh - sweet - thanks for the info Doug! I arrive Thanksgiving day bit can take advantage of a couple late nights!

I believe I read a few pages back that Dec 1 is go live. Does anyone know if this means the old FP system will be no more. I believe folks have been getting kttw cards and have been able to double dip. Curious if folks in Dec will be able to do the same.
