Any OCTOBER guests received FP+ testing invite?

[chrishatton]

FP+ now shows Wishes as an option for my Oct date, but it says "standby only." Does this mean they are all gone?

We had the opportunity to book and were told by insiders that the viewing area isn't that great. Just because it's reserved doesn't mean that it's prime.

It has been reported at the reserved area has been getting more and more full.

I was wondering about that. We aren't able to do FP+ bc I can't get our tickets linked, so not an option for us. However, we had a reserved seating area before for Illuminations (I think it was our AAA card?). ...well it was reserved for what seemed to be about 1,000+ other people (ok, slight exageration )....not quite the special treatment I thought we were getting.

I'm sure or hope they will adjust... As I will be looking for updates here from those who have..

If so I will adjust and pick a different FP + but at least for now I have one..

My strategy as well.

We just got our invite letter today also but I've already created our magic bands and scheduled our FP+.

 

[Daveskier]

We have our magic bands but have a voucher for park tickets. Since we can't reserve fastpass online unless it's linked to tickets, and I notice that reserving fastpass is at least three days in advance. I assume we don't get to do fastpass on magic bands? Anyone there know how this works once were there? Thanks

You can reserve FP+ anytime. Obviously the further out you select offers more options. I switched a FP+ 1 hour before I used it today.

We are staying at the GF Oct 25-28 and received an invite to test ~ I had already ordered our magic bands and fastpass ressies done.

 

[Sydnerella]

Checked into Pop this afternoon, POFQ for 8 nights, then POR for one night. MB worked great today...no glitches whatsoever. MB sure makes everything easier. No more fumbling around for KTTW. Only wish AP discount was tied into MB. FP+ worked like a charm. Switching resorts tomorrow so we will see how it goes then.

This is my fear for MSEP. I hope the view is worth using a FP+ for. I also have FP+ for Fantasmic! and Illuminations but those I am not as worried about. Feel confident we'll have good viewing for those. Oh well. Sending good vibes and pixie dust to all that we will all be satisfied with our views.

We thought the MSEP spot was great and then stayed there for Wishes. We thought our viewing spot was better than the rose garden.

We had FP+ for the beginning of Sept. We arrived 45 min early to the reserved section and it was already 3 people deep. I personally did not feel like it was worth it.

Thanks - appreciate the in park update! That is great to hear - have a FANTASTIC time 3FP+ is just not enough for our touring style... testing next week but thankful kttw still work.

 

[P'colaBeachBum]

Got my invite today. Now waiting for our bands. Will be at the Poly 29/30 and looking forward to another year of F&W.

Thanks for the info. That makes me feel better about not being able to get it. I will just pick my own spot and arrive early with a cream cheese pretzel.

Yikes!! I usually roll up to find a parade spot about 15-20mins before it starts and get a decent spot - I'd be so mad to use a FP+ on it just to find its more packed that the public areas. Might have to rethink that...
