Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

[TinkerBelle_325]

Called Disney IT and the reason my tracking number isn't active is that it hasn't been scanned by UPS yet

I'll just check later today

 

[MightyGitis]

but see this is different he has an annual pass, and actually stayed at the hotel, thus had the band activated.

It's alright. Likely the bands are set to self destruct should anyone attempt to use them at a non-test hotel. Boom!

PS The band is activated in MDE when it's shipped. The only thing the front desk activates is the room key and charging abilities.

Same here! Woohoo!

patiently waiting before i go to work

I chose bands on Saturday evening, received my email invite this morning along with a notice bands have been shipped. I do have a shipping number, but if they were sent this morning it's too early for shipping number to be working.

BTW, I've not checked in yet.

check it - you are in for a surprise!

Cracked me up. I am so glad you aren't bitter.

Yes- I am quoting myself. Laughed so hard, I cried. MightyGitis, I would love to run into you at WDW - you seem like a lot of fun.

Magic Bands are on their way... If only I could get Fastpass + to work... I have the old style paper annual passes and they are linked but they give me an error saying "the details for this pass are not available please check back". If I try to proceed I get the "needs valid park admission message to participate" message. Grrr! I called IT yesterday twice and while they are super helpful and so kind we got no where. Oh well I'm more excited about the bands anyway...

Has anyone staying sept 23 or later gotten invitation or email? I arrive the 23 at AOA

 

[ddluvsdisney]

Quick question regarding this...we have bands coming...have customized but are still 35 days out, so they won't ship till probably Monday. If the bands are active when we get them, would this work:

We are all arriving at MCO at 9:00am, renting a car. DD and I have a reservation for lunch at BOG at 11:00-11:15am. I made it that early as we'd like to go back to the hotel to rest before MNSSHP that night. I was thinking it wouldn't work because we'd have to go to the hotel (AKL) to check in and get our tickets activated on our bands before, and that's just not enough time. But, I'm thinking that if the bands are active, DH and DS could take ME to the hotel, along with the bags, and DD and I could take the car to MK (well, TTC). Still not sure we'd have enough time, but if the bands are already active, we'd sure have a shot. Anyone know for sure?

Has anyone successfully made a FP+ reservation during morning EMH? It's not available on my MK day, all FP+ times start at 9am.

 

[JessiMommy]

photo? The Tardis is actually going to be my costume for MNSSHP!

it lights up too!

LOL! That is awesome!!!

 

[heycher]

I don't think I've received an "invite", but booked through a TA, and when I go into my disney experience it looks like we can select attractions and are eligible?

We are staying at Art of Animation 9/21 - 9/27

Can anyone help me?

 

[apress]

Just wanted to update. We ordered our magic bands on Friday and we just had our's delivered to our house. So excited!!

 

[heycher]

I know this has likely been asked ten million times, but I am not easily finding the results and am a little daunted by the many pages in this thread. Hoping someone will help me out by answering the following:

If we test FP+, are we also able to draw regular fastpasses? Will Art of Animation give us "hard tickets", or only the magic bands?

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

 

[Raya]

Has anyone at the Wilderness Lodge gotten a MB? I'd really prefer not to carry money, passes, etc. as my MNSSHP costume doesn't have pockets. I keep checking, hoping I'll at least be able to use the band for charging, tickets, and my hotel key.

 

[JESSketeer]

I'm in the exact same boat... Customized Friday, got the notification they were arriving today before 10:30 AM!

Same here!!
Already at work though so we wont be seeing them until later today, but atleast I know they'll be waiting there when we get home!!!

Absolutely. It is even in the cast reference guide that testers are able to pull from both pools.

I'm quoting here:

You can select up to three Fastpass+ experiences at one park per day, with valid theme park admission. During testing, if you have a key to the world card, you can also obtain Fastpass tickets from Fastpass distribution locations

And will resorts issue keys to the world cards IF a person also has a magic band?? Or are they forcing people with magic bands to use those and only those for their keys, charges, tickets etc.??
