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

[KNovacovschi]

Yipeeeeee!! Booked FP+ but saw no MB....I chose "sign out" and then immediately signed back in and there they were!!!!! WDW here I come!!!!

too many WDW trips to mention, 2007 Wonder Concierge, January 2013 Wonder Concierge, WDW AKL Concierge Nov 2013, March 2014 Walter E. Disney Suite (finally!!!!)

When in November do you arrive? I just tried your trick but nothing for MB's, but then again we arrive Nov 17.

First time I did this, it didn't work. Go ahead and modify your online check-in and change something (you can always change it back later). Towards the end, you will get an error message. Go back to your MDE and logout and then re-login back again.

Fantasmic - 5:55-6:15 - Quick question, does this timeframe seem early to anyone, doesn't it need to be dark out for the show. Wondering if its because park closes at 8 that day. If anyone knows that would be great. We have an ADR at Sci Fi for 5:30 and unable to move it earlier.

Sunset for that time of year is right around 5:30pm. You'll be fine with regards to the lighting!

However, your 5:30 ADR is a problem. You're going to have a really hard time eating and getting over to Fantasmic on time. It's not uncommon for seating to take awhile, so you might not even get to your table until 5:45. Then your food could take another 15 minutes (minimum!) to arrive and now it's already six. You simply won't have enough time to gobble down your food and get to Fantasmic by 6:15.

I'd cancel either the ADR or Fantasmic. I don't think you can do both.

Okay, I am confused

I only want to make a few FP+ selections. At Epcot, I only want (1) for Soarin.Why won't the system allow me to make just one?It gives me Best Match, and options b,c&d of (3) attractions even though I only choose (1).

Huh????

Fantastic is at 6:30. With the time change/fall back, it should be dark enough by then.

They make you choose 3. Choose two others than change them later if you decide you want to ride something else.

my kids will be too scared/little for dinosaur and everest in AK. What should I fast pass? Are Nemo, Lion King, etc. fast passes really good for anything or are they pointless? (Yes, we'll also try for safari, but we're going to try to hit that at rope drop. Is it fun to do that more than once???)

 

[JaneSparrow]

We arrive 11/29 - are there folks arriving this late in Nov who are able to customize magic bands? We will not have our tickets until we pick them up there so I am not looking at FP+ until we are there. We are staying at BLT through 12/7 and we are 66 days out.

Try logging in with a different browser. I was using Firefox, changed to Chrome, and I had MBs waiting.

Did that...the window popped up with the link to customize MBs, but when I clicked on it, it went back to the regular "Manage Magic Bands" screen...

If it was me, I would do the Safari and the two shows. They also show a character meet & greet but it is grayed out so I don't know when that will be available to select.

The safari can be done over and over. The animals are (within limits) free roaming so you never know what you will see.

Thank you for the response. That's what I figured as well. I'm going to keep checking for an earlier ADR for both 50's and Sci Fi. We really want to see Fantasmic as we missed it last year.

EDIT: Was able to get a 4:15 reservation at Sci Fi, I was looking for 5 but think this time is a lot better and more relaxed.

Well, phooey. That seems like a major flaw to me. Why should I be forced to hold FP slots for rides I don't want, therefore possibly tying up a slot someone else could have ? Makes me feel guilty

 

[burtchmom]

Persistence pays off!!! I kept trying and logging out and in, and after deleting my cookies and logging out and in another billion times, I was just able to order MBs!!!!

just realized we'll probably want to do tough to be a bug, too. which of the shows are busiest and best to get fast passes for? anyone know? do you get better seating with fast pass?

Everyone else getting Ariel's grotto being closed for refurbishment? Other websites aren't showing it as being closed.

Did that...the window popped up with the link to customize MBs, but when I clicked on it, it went back to the regular "Manage Magic Bands" screen...

same thing is happening to me

This happened to me to. I got all excited to the point my DH told me to shush. but then when I clicked on it, it went back to the regular screen.

 

[kaylasmom07]

I've got my FP+ selections done and ordered my magic bands. Very excited!
I will say though it was very annoying trying to pick the fastpasses. They would never give me the times I wanted, I'd have to go in and change them one by one... And the site is running sooo slowly for me.

I wish they would just let us pick our own times like we do for ADRs and then they give us the closest match.

I arrive 11/28 at Pop and was able to customize today. No FP+ but that should be available in 5 days I'm thinking. Just wish I knew what time. Is it midnight eastern?

 

[runswithscissors]

Staying at CSR 11/7-11/11. Tickets are ordered through RunDisney but haven't arrived yet so no FP+ yet. I was, however, able to customize our magic bands this evening and I booked BOG FP last week. Once our tickets arrive in the next few days, I hope to be able to link them and choose our FP+. Good luck to all November travelers!
