Any OCTOBER guests received FP+ testing invite?

[cfw213]

I have personalized my MBs and set up our FP+s. Do I just have to wait until my "Days left to personalize" ticker hits 0 and then they will automatically mail? We're ready to get them!

From what I understand, yes we just have to wait I was anxious to get mine too but I still have a month until my first set ships!

We were able to customize our Magic Bands and make FP+ selections for our trip from 10/5-10/10 staying at POP. Really looking forward to all the new and exciting things we get to experience this trip!

Staying at the BC Oct 4-9th, my mom owns the VC and she hasn't received any invites. I've got my fingers crossed!

We are staying at the Yacht Club Oct 26 - Nov 2nd. Yesterday i was able to customize our magic bands however I can not make fast pass plus reservations I assume at my 60 day mark (which is Tuesday) I will be able to. I will post back. Pretty excited!!!!

Quick question : we're living in Canada, will our MB be shipped to us and we'll get those when we check in?

Also, are MB planned to be reused from trips to trips. That would be eco-friendly for sure!

I feel your excitement!! We check in to BC on Oct 29 - Nov 5th and yesterday I also had the option to customize magic bands! My DH thinks I'm a nut-bar for checking MDE multiple times a day for the past few weeks.
I also hope that at the 60 day mark I can select fast pass plus. I'll be SUPER disappointed if I can't.

Checking into the poly 10/25 and was able to customize magic bands today!!

Is anyone able to see nighttime spectacular FP+ choices yet? I was hoping I could book Fantasmic on Sunday 10/13 but it's not an option as of right now for me.

We check in on the 16th and I can't seem to do any of the night time options. I keep checking, but nothing seems to be offered. I hope it gets added. I would love to book Fantasmic without doing the dinner.

I believe Canadian guests have to pick their bands up at the resort - something about not being able to ship the RFID chip to Canada.

I was able to get a FP+ for Illuminations but no other night options at other parks were available.

Do they put PP and PP+ on it when you get there and turn in your voucher?

They add it when you pre-purchase...so while you already have it at your home even. It is coded...so they can add anything at anytime without the band being there.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

This is great info, thanks,!!

ETA: how are you getting your bands next week if your checkin isn't until 10/27? I was under the impression that they shipped at around 30 days out

I too was under that same impression...but the guy in IT told me they were due to ship on Monday They may not...as they sometimes give incorrect info, but he said that they were showing him that they would ship then. So, time will tell

ETA: you are welcome! I found this CM so helpful and he really had his stuff together so wanted to pass on the info We have to guide each other through this new process so it runs smoothly lol I do actually think it sounds better than I expected after speaking to him...so hopefully that is the case! Good luck with yours and enjoy your trip!

I used the confirmation number that came in the email when I booked the room and tickets. The room had a 11 digit number and the tickets had a separate 10 digit confirmation number. We check in October 1.

Which number did you use....the 11 or 10 digit number? When did you do this?....just past few days? I'm hoping maybe I keep trying it.... Thanks so much for your help!

Ok, so now I'm confused. PP+ is now being used on the MB? I didn't know this was live yet, thought it was "in the future it will" kind of thing. I've preordered ours and have the voucher here at the house to take to get our card....so they'll put this on mine or both our MBs? Ours have been customized for our trip but haven't shipped.

I'm confused about that part, too. I'm in your same situation.

I used the 11 digit number to link my hotel reservations and the 10 digit one to link the ticket reservations. I had to do each separately. And I did it in the past week or so...I waited a few days before choosing FPs and customizing bands, so I'm not sure if those options were available when I first linked the park tickets or if they showed up a few days later.

Woohoo, I hope that's true! I would love to get mine this week hopefully he knows what he was talking about!

Just wanted to share incase it helps any other people from the UK with a reservation onsite this October. We're staying at the Beach Club from the 4-10th Oct, party of 5. The MDE site has just allowed us to select all our FP+'s for our dates and we've also customised our Magic Bands. If you're staying at a Disney resort that is part of the October testing, check your MDE now.... and fingers crossed!!

 

[Turtle31]

We got selected . We are staying at the BCV from Oct.9-22nd. I was able to get all the fast pass+ selections I wanted except Illuminations. Has anyone been successful with it ? It seems to let me pick soarin, and test track but Illuminations is not in the normal menu choices. When I try and click Add to plan it comes up and there is a blue fast pass+ window but it sends me in circles. No big deal but I don't really feel the need to waste my third Epcot choice on Malestrom .

Excited just did our magic bands and fastpass selections cant wait to leave
