Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

[Marblies]

I just talked to my friend who is staying at POP in late September. She customized magicbands Tuesday night and got the email they are being delivered today!

I feel like every time I check MDX that I'm in Vegas. Come on All Star Movies! You can do it, you can be selected! Only thing is I haven't won yet. Gee, that is just like when I'm in Vegas.

Late September? Odd. Most of us checking in after the 7th couldn't even choose FP+ until late yesterday and still no MB option.

Do I have to wait until I get my physical park tickets to link them or are they already linked to my reservations. I got everything all in one shot. Under tickets it says 6 day?

For those that don't see MagicBands are you AP holders? If so, use MDE on a computer and you have to link your account and put the 10 digit code on the back of the new passes.

That was reported over here too last night.

I'm staying at CBR. under reservations it shows 6 day PH tickets, but under magicbands and cards it shows nothing linked yet. If I got to make FP+ selections I get an error that no tickets have been linked yet. So does that mean Disney hasn't linked my package tickets to the account?

 

[mcurran]

I posted in another thread on MB's here but thought I'd post here too in case anyone's not thread hopping (I think that's like park hopping, just less lines and no rides).

FYI - not sure if it means anything or not... I am checking into CBR on 9/8, and starting last night when I clicked on make FP+ reservations I intermitently get the error saying I can't make reservations for days I am not staying at the resort, different from the (super frustrating) "ready for a new kind of magic" popup. Not sure if it means anything whatsoever, but at least for me, I'll hold onto a glimmer of hope that this could mean that I might possibly sortof kindof maybe get MB's.

I'll voice what everyone already reading this is thinking - what a poor roll-out and failed communication opportunity for Disney. The public relations side of Disney has tried everyway to get people excited about this and yet the CM's, the MDE website, and lack of email communication has truly been dissapointing. I am still excited to take my kids for their first Disney trip, but this has certainly been a dissapointing and frustrating experience getting there...

I am checking in to AOA on 9/26 and can make FP+ selections but can not order a MB.

The problem is we have 1 valid AP linked and the other 2 AP expire a few days before arrival and I need to renew. So there isn't a point in making any selections yet.

Hmmm so do I have to wait until I'm in Disney and renew my other AP's before I can make FP+ selections.

I'm loving these quick shipping times! Customized the MagicBands on Tuesday and they are scheduled to be delivered today! Nice!

I know, I was in a little bit of shock on that.

I was looking for BOG ADR (along with half of this board it seems ) and of course it said no availability. As I scrolled down to the BOG restaurant there was a link to click for making a FP+ reservation. I had never seen that before. When you click it, it takes you to the ride FP+ selections . Of course they are not listed under the rides. Interesting.......

We are staying POFQ too...NOTHING has changed on the site for us. When is your arrival? We are on 9/13.

Here is what I'm hoping:

Those staying at CR, POP, AKL, and YC can select Magicbands because the resorts systems are live as of August (They are part of the test phase)

The hotels that are showing FP+ Selection are possibly in the process of updating their systems to be able to use MBs? At least thats what I am hoping

 

[doodlemama]

We check into BLT 9/12. Has anyone had FPP show up for BLT yet? No luck here. When I click FPP it shows dates and then a sorry message pops up. Is this normal or a glitch? Thx!

 

[goofy4tink]

While I can understand everyone wanting to be part of the newest, greatest thing at WDW, I can understand why Disney isn't making it available to everyone, at every resort yet. Way too many people impacted then. Do you really want there to be a huge negative impact? I can just see it now...so many complaining...'Well, if it wasn't ready to go yet, why the heck did they let everyone use it? My vacation was so messed up because of those danged FP+ things!!!'..it always happens.
Do I care if I get to be a test subject in Sept? Nope. And if it's not up and running in Nov? No biggie. Same for Dec! I would rather have my stay run smoothly vs having glitches every time I tried to do something with those stupid magic bands or FP+.
I know that I am in the minority here, but it just isn't a huge deal to me. It will be available when it's available.

 

[Benihana]

THEY ARE HERE! What a great way to wake up with magic bands being placed on my doorstep! holy cow that was lightning fast shipping. Just shipped overnight.

Starting to regret the whole "surprise the kids with the disney trip" plan. Wishing they could share in my excitement right now

 

[snausman]

I just received my MB!!!! They were delivered at 9:30am. this morning. I can't believe how fast they got here.

I am totally confused. When I click on Fastpass+, it says the selected dates don't fall in, and shows me dates from August, we are staying at POR Sept 2-7. It says we need to be linked, but I don't have a ticket number to link it too. Should I be doing something else, or I just don't have the option yet.
