Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

[DisneyMarv]

The bands are shipped via UPS - generally no delivery on Sat. and Sun.
I completed my order on Friday also and am expecting delivery today or tomorrow. Please post when your package arrives.

i customized my bands friday morning by midnight it had locked and said it was shipping soon so i should hopefully be expecting it throughout the days.

I customized mine Friday Night as well. The status is still processing. Would be nice to go home and find them on the porch! I will post when I get them!

Mine did not come from my "normal" driver/route. It was on a special truck that came through about 3 hours early. (And yes, my normal truck did come through that day, right on time )

Quick question for those not able to access FP + - does it say 'FP + booking window must be within timeframe of trip' or something like that?? We are going Sept 22, staying SSR, and I have been to MDE and have added my ressie, linked our tickets but dont seem to have any ability to 'customize' the Bands or book FP+ (link on right hand side of 'profile' page works, but then wont allow me to do anything on next page? Wondering if others have had similar experience? Thx!

I don't believe SSR is a testing resort.

I have read other recipients received them next day, which for us is a morning delivery. The regular deliveries are late afternoon.

Sounds right. IIRC I ordered mine on a Thursday and received them Monday AM. I didn't look at the box to see what shipping method they used to send them.

I actually got the shipping notice from Disney Destinations about an hour after UPS had dropped them off.

 

[DisneyMarv]

would be nice if it does arrive before work but i only got 40 minutes till i leave and would have to hope for its in my doorstep when i get home at night...

I ordered mine Friday too, but mine says customizable until August 26. We don't check in until 9/29, so will ours not ship until after 8/26?

We check into the Beach Club on 9/27 and MDE says that we have until 8/27 to customize. I am assuming that they will ship when we are 30 days out.

I can't get anything after September 28 either. I did NOT receive an email from Disney telling me I could use this - just stumbled across FP+ selections while on MDE. Online chat Cast Member told me that I'm not part of the testing if I didn't receive an email or have a magicband linked to my account. I'll just cross my fingers and hope that they are late with the email or linking my magicband.

I was able to access fastpass plus, but I was not able to customize my bands until I completed online check-in. If you have already completed online check in, previous posters have suggested modifying your check in information to trigger the magic bands.

I was thinking this was the case, but it was not clear on the site and I wanted to make sure I wasnt just doing something wrong or missing some field to input a date....I find the MDE site a little confusing.

I've gone through selecting and changing FP+ and ordering/customizing bands all without any invitation email. Or any email whatsoever. Their confirmation system is pretty terrible -- sometimes I get an email when I cancel dining, but almost never when booking. Never got confirmation emails for MNSSHP ticket orders - only one MNSSHP ticket cancellation.

For me, the Magic Band page was blank until I did online check-in. As soon as I did that and clicked on Magic Bands and Cards, I was able to set up and customize a Magic Band order.

We have a package reservation, so no actual tickets to link, but our Magic Your Way tickets appeared linked to MDE automatically about the time FP+ came available last Thursday.

The app says I have 1 day left to customize. The website says I have 3 or 4 days, depending where you look. I'm 32 days from my Room Only at CSR and 34 from my MYW package at Poly.

Random aside: the "days left" calculation isn't the only reason I think they need to employ some people who can program simple math. Just about every FP+ grouping offered to me included something that said it overlapped with dining at x:xx, even though I don't have any ADRs that do so. Either they think meals take 3.6-5.3 hours or they've forgotten that there are 7 as opposed to 5 days in a week or something else.

Do we know which resorts actually are participating? I haven't seen anything official like we did for the August test.

Really wish this thread had a FAQ!
Here's the list:

This worked for me. Thank you! I had already checked in for our POR stay and have been checking daily to see if I could customize bands. It wasn't an option. Then I read the suggestion to modify check in information and that worked. The site says that today is my last day to customize them, so I almost missed out.

It is a separate link, not a FP+. That's how you book it. https://BeOurGuestLunch.disney.go.com

Thank you!
I don't have a reservation number though--hoping they'll select us!

I see Animal Kingdom Lodge is participating. Do you know the dates (we arrive on Sept 29)? Does it include the Villas (we are DVC members)?

 

[canyoncam]

So I haven't read everything on this thread. But I am staying first at ASMu (which I know is not a test resort) on a package.. Then I move to POR Ro only which is using MB. Ihave not done my online check in nor have I had any MagicBand or FP+ options. If I do become MB & FP+ eligible through POR does anyone know if it would link to the tickets on my ASMu package?

Kinda confusing I know.

I emailed to WDW Guest Relations because of my concerns and questions regarding our Split Stay and MagicBands/FP+ in September.

I have just received and answer which demonstrates that CMs seem to have just little knowledge of different scenarios regarding the testing phase of MyMagic+.

They recommended me to BUY SEPERATE TICKETS for the split stay. Well, I told them in my email that our first stay is a package, we definetely won't buy additional tickets instead of just adding days. Not a very magical answer ;-)

This makes me come to the following decision:
I will stop thinking about the whole MyMagic+ situation now. Our vacation starts in 20 days and if something is not working when we are there they will help us to make it work - everything will be OK. The more often I log in into MyDisneyExperience, the more stressful it gets.

I guess CMs are plunged in at the deep end at the moment.
Let's wait and see

I'm not stressing it either. If we can only use the magic bands the 2 days of our room only so be it. If it works more than that, great! It's going to me a wonderful 12 days at Disney world either way.
