Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

[fflmaster]

Has anyone received any invites or been able to access the FP+ option for dates after September 8th yet?

My big group will arrive at Contemporary on September 21st. Hoping to get the MB if possible.

I realize that. That was why I as asking if anyone in September has been offered it yet.

I didn't have the "bonus" 4th FP+ option for my time period: 8/31-9/8

So far they have only released to 9/7 arrivals. As a 9/8 arriver, I'm anxious for the release... I expect it will be by 8/20 or earlier, since the prior week released on 8/13.

I say "or earlier" (with zero knowledge except what's on the posts here) because I think the idea is to eventually give these bands out earlier and earlier for ramp up so guests will have 60 days to book their FP+ reservations. At this point, they're at about 20 days out and this (September) is a light time of year for guest arrivals.

I have MB and my FP+ "booked", and we did not have any parade or firework options available.

Split Stay: 8/31-9/2 at POP (room only) - this is how we got the MB, then POR 9/2 thru 9/8 for package (FD-upgraded to DLX, 6 day tix + PH, Royal Room).

I saw the Friday to Sunday caveat, so I checked again, and none are available (for us) for Friday 9/6 or Saturday 9/7.

Now, MK doesn't have evening entertainment either nights (it's NOJ instead), but there weren't Illuminations or Fantasmic or parade options either.

Maybe they're "full" or maybe they're not offered that week of September yet? I'll keep checking to see if something opens up and will report back (if it hasn't already been posted here).

Sidenote: we can book FP+ from 8/31 thru 10/13. Can not book FP+ prior to 8/31 (check in at POP).

Can you actually book into Oct or just see the calendar. As in, can you go through the process and pick a park and rides or no? The calendar is visible 60days out but there are no FPs after Sept 28th for me and another person said they get the same screen.

Anyone staying at AOA have any luck with magic band or fast pass + ?? :::wishful thinking:::

We customized our MagicBands yesterday afternoon. Today I just checked and we can no longer make any changes (didn't want to but I was curious when they would ship). The note now says they are being customized and will ship soon. Yippee! My kids are super excited.

Just a note: Be positive about your customization, it seems like you only get one shot. In other words if you are like me, I was likely just to "see" what the options are and then I'd be stuck with it.

I just looked and I can book FP+ until October 13, even though our trip is Sept 4-14 at AKL. We have FP+/MB (not officially invited, but were able to make reservations starting yesterday, Day 22). It looks like you can book up to 30 days after your trip, maybe. I'm not eligible to book anything on or after October 14.

I'm also not eligible to book any FP+ before my check in date - only the day my package starts. Hope that helps.

October 14 is 60 days out. I think the program is set where you can ONLY book FP+ up to 60 days out so I don't think that October 14 has anything to do with 30 days after your reservation, I think the limit of booking past October 14 is just the rule for not being able to book 60 days out. If you check tomorrow, I would assume you could book October 15.

Yep, I think you are right, thanks!

For the record, I hate this whole FP+ system and if possible, I won't be participating in it on our trip in October.

HOWEVER, I just read on another board that Jedi Training is popping up as a FP+ option. Jedi Training is our #1 must do...our whole DHS day revolves around it. Can someone confirm for me that Jedi Training is showing as one of the FP+ options? If so, that's a game changer for me.

Ugh.

I can't comment on the Jedi training on FP+....but we don't even know the extent of tests for September yet, let alone October may not be a game changer because there may not be tests.

Yes, I understand that. I just want to know if JTA is showing up as an option for people who are testing now, because I hadn't heard that before.

No it is not a FP+ option. Never has been either. I tend to call 'bs' on the claim that someone got it as a FP+. I could see a separate testing link like BOG but that would have gone public PDQ.

And I checked every single day in Aug just to make sure and I only checked off my age eligible children.

Just looked on both a weekend and weekday in Sept. It was not an option that I saw. For HS I only have ToT, RRRC, TSM and StarTours. If anyone sees it, I'd be interested also. Checking that off the list before we leave would be a relief.

Thanks, delmar. I was just wondering how JTA could possibly be a FP+ option with the way they do things now (requiring the child to be present).

Perhaps this poster got Star Tours and Jedi Training confused.

I did not see the jedi training as an option. I did my bookings last night for 03-08 sep

My thoughts on things is that unless they provide a screen shot, I don't believe it. LOL

OK, I just found what I think she was talking about. You can add Jedi Training into your "Plans" in MDE, but it has a note that it's NOT a reservation.

Whew. I feel much better.

 

[RedM94]

Is anyone seeing BOG lunch as a FP+ option on any day from Sept 7 to 14?

 

[fflmaster]

I don't see JTA as an option from August 29th on. I don't know about earlier.
