Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

[DisneyMarv]

let me ask a question do you think i will be able to use fastpass+ with a event ticket well i have both annual pass and MNSSHP linked to MDE for my September trip. I've been hearing they aren't testing with annual passes yet. ?

I'm not sure about event tickets because I'm not familiar with whether or not FP is up and running during parties. But AP are definitely part of testing. There are lots of AP holders who have, are or will be testing. I'm an AP holder and have been testing since July.(I'm a local). So if you are staying at a hotel that will be part of a test, definitely make sure to get your APs linked up in MDE. if the link tickets one doesn't work, go to your profile and at the bottom should be a link that says something like are you an AP holder? , click that and it will link your APs for you.

No FPs during hard-ticket events, at least to this point.

When are you arriving at WDW? We arrive on the 3rd of Sept. Could this be the beginning of the next testing rollout?

We're arriving Sept. 22. I was getting the August 10-14th dates too.

Annnnd now it's gone. I'm getting an updated looking MDE page though. I'm assuming the other was a glitch.

We've all heard it different. LOL. I talked to a CM who said that each month DIFFERENT hotels have been doing it and no hotel has repeated. Once all hotels have had a test month they will roll it out. I don't think we really know anything concrete at this point. Next month could be the same hotels as this month plus some. Or all the hotels that tested this month go off of testing and new ones replace them.

I believe AKL and contemporary were used in the past and are still on it...right? POP is new to the test as well as yacht or beach, i forget which is in this round...The idea is to add hotels to increase the load, and the hotels that are picked are picked to give the right testing numbers, that is all.

We will arrive on September 3 (to the 12th). Staying at Beach Club. Really hoping to try the Magic Bands! Don't really care about the FP+. I'm from Canada, but was able to register with MDE. I check daily for the magic bands, but nothing yet. Fingers crossed!!

Also from Canada and arriving on Sept 2 in POR however I am not able to register with MDE . It won't let me accept the terms at the bottom. I called IT and it is a known issue so I just keep trying. I would really like to test the Magic Bands.

Every time I try to link mine I get "server busy". The two (out of three that I have) shown on the page have the wrong numbers. Hunkajunk.

I still get the "Select a Day" page

 

[Raenstoirm]

Which is that every month DIFFERENT hotels test the bands and it's announced about half a month before the month in question happens.

Not exactly. AKL in one way or another has been involved in all the tests since the beginning. (A lot of the original Magical Express testers were staying at AKL in 2012). We really have no idea what Disney is doing!

Can't be 100% accurate because they did testing in July and AKL wasn't included that month. But I'm talking Magic Bands only. Not fastpassplus. Magic Bands have not repeated a hotel month to month YET.

Magic bands were being tested at AKL and POP and a few other places in July.

I thought that was all August.

No. I tested MBs at AKL in July. LOL That's where I got my first one from.

I think we were one of the originals testers of FP+ in May 2011. They greeted us at Magical Express at the MCO airport. We've had 4 trips since that time and no FP+ testing etc. We have the DVC PAP deal (what a great thing that was) so last May we didn't have to do anything with that...i.e., bands etc. I guess we'll find out -- we'll be in BWV in September 4 to 20.

I have an AP and was a tester this past week. My AP was linked to my band.

I just got back and am going back up for Night of Joy. I am going to call and see if I can use again. I'm booked for WL.

okay thanks, fingers crossed they roll over the testing to Sept at the contemporary and i can be part of the testing....

 

[terri33inne]

I would love to test the fastpass+ but not so much the bands... my daughter hates wearing things on her wrists....
Sept 20-27 WL!
