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

Well I'm arriving on Oct. 30th and

Ha! We are checking on Nov 2nd @ POR , and we have zilch!!

60 days hit yesterday. Nothing popped up. Not even the FP+ BE Our Guest lunch ressies which supposedly is not connected to the MBs.

Sorry I was being a smartaleck We actually arrive 11/11. Nothing here either.

Still holding out hope. I keep telling myself it doesn't make sense to abruptly end testing on Oct. 31 and have no new access to MB or FP+ until some predetermined full roll out "launch date" (which would likely cause a certain amount of mayhem). Hoping I'm right that they just keep adding resorts and allow for the continuous soft roll out. Someone did mention that October didn't open up for them until the third week of August, so still crossing fingers for something in the next couple of weeks. We've just booked a surprise holiday trip for the kids and it would be sweet to get to try out the MB's!

I think they will stop testing but I think it will mean a full roll out. If you read the mde page it says later this year. There isn't a whole lot of year left.

That's true! I just thought it would be easier to keep gradually adding rather than all of the rest of resorts, plus all AP holders, plus non-resort guests suddenly being added in all at once.

So they have fewer than half the resorts testing right now? Sounds like a full roll out by November 1 is a bit optimistic, especially since they are still soliciting feedback from guests who participate.

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

I am still sticking with my original assumption.... They will quit testing through the holidays. Nov - Jan and start it back up during a slower time where it can be more controlled.

 

[maiapapaya]

Well jmrothermel's email from WDW did say "the next round of testing", not "the last round of testing" ... ok, admittedly grasping at straws here!

 

[disneyfantotheend]

I am okay with FP- and no magic bands. I just wish I knew for certain. It concerns me a little, being we are in a non testing resort. That they will continue adding resorts but not ours and FPs will be hard to come by. It only concerns me a little though because I dont think the majority will participate during testing.

That's the way I read it, too.

That does NOT mean a hard end! There was a different list of resorts previously with and "ending" date in September. All October 31st means it that is the end of that list, not necessarily testing. There could just as easily be a new list starting November 1st that includes all those resorts and more which is in keeping with what the majority of folks have been told by CMs/IT.

Nothing new here but I just wanted to check in with the reply Disney sent me when I sent an email inquiring about MBs (we are scheduled for Pop Century Nov 15-23):

*We sincerely appreciate your interest in our exciting new My Magic Plus
service! Please know that we have not been informed of any further test
dates past October. Please keep checking!*

I am going to choose to believe that means the testing will be done and full rollout will be ensuing after that date.

When you wish upon a star...

This is exactly how I feel. I just wish I knew either way.

Nothing for me, but I'm not even at 60 days yet either.

I am leaning this way too. Maybe wishful thinking on my part. I just can't see them trying to test this stuff over Thanksgiving and Christmas, or Pop Warner. I could be totally wrong, but that just seems like it would be a nightmare.

This is a fair guess, but it could also mean they want a full roll out before the holidays. The latter is probably less likely though, because it would be a nightmare.

I would think they would announce a date of a full roll out at least 60 days ahead of time, to give people the full benefit of booking FP+ 60 days out, plus MB customization.

This is how I feel. We are staying at WL (non-testing resort) and I am fine with not having FP+....as long as no one else has it.

From what I have read about other who have received their MBs,the outside of the packaging is plain brown and non-descript.No Disney logo at all.

So it will be either your Magic Bands or marital aids - Either way a happy day!
