Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

[Fantaluminishes]

to the ones that are receiving your magic bands, did you receive an email, saying you were selected with instructions. 2 CM's told me that in order to get the magic bands, you have to receive an email saying you have been selected and it will be within the 17 days window.

No email here, but I'm not at 17-days yet. However, my Magic Band is on the way, and I have an ID number.

Hi All, Sorry if this question has already been answered somewhere within this thread! We are buying APs when we get to WDW next month. Could we select Fastpass+ times if we buy the AP online now and link the voucher to MDE? We are doing a split stay at 2 of the test resorts. We don't want to active the AP until we arrive. Wanted to check with the experts before I took any action...

Thanks!

I have an active AP but my DD and DSIL though they bought in March still haven't activated. I called IT and i was told it could not be linked (we live 60 miles away going Saturday to activate) It had to be a pass not a voucher (now it may be different with you because they might have fixed it for current ticket sales, maybe consider buying tickets and upgrading once you arrive?)

i also asked why it wouldn't let me customize my MB but DD & DSIL could after asking me if I received the email and me saying not yet, she asked for my reservation number then told me I already had a MB (no I don't) she asked if I clicked on the customize button and I said maybe just to see if I could customize. She said that ordered it, when I clicked on it again it showed I had a grey MB . Well just checked again and I could customize.

Don't worry it's coming!! It probably has nothing to do with it but I also did our online check in today :/ it's a coincidence tho I'm sure.

 

[mrsmomo]

Ahhh the anticipation is killer

Nah I already did that 20 days ago, still no MB. I have to wait like most everybody else.

Thanks for the info!

I am at the Poly from 9/10-15. To get the MB do you need to have a package with tickets? I am an annual pass holder?? Thanks

From all the info I've been reading the past few days it seems you will have the option to get your key card if you want ALONG with your magic band....when you check into your resort ask them for a key card as well. I hope that makes sense :/ I think unless you call them and ask NOT to participate they will send you guys bands no matter what. You are able to make regular fastpass WITH your card while having the bands to.

Yeah, I guess I don't know how to convey my question....

In an ideal world, as we've seen with the August test, FP+ users would be able to insert their KTTW card into FP machines to get those as well. I assume, though, that Disney will soon disable this double-dipping.

In that world where it's one or the other, is there a way to ensure that I'm in the regular FP side of things? Or basically, is it that if I am staying in one of the hotels activated for September and I have access to FP+ selections, I'm basically locked into the FP+ side of things and thus might as well make selections?

In other words, is there an opt-out mechanism that I forfeit by making FP+ selections?

Does anyone know do you HAVE to have your magic bands shipped to your house?

Can you have them shipped to your resort to pickup upon check in?

What happens to people leaving for vacation 1 to 2 weeks prior checking in to WDW? Can you choose an alternate shipping address?

Tks in advance!

CR here in September, I have FP+ selections but no magic band options yet or invite email.

It gives you an option to ship to resort and you can edit your shipping addie. I edited them on Monday and got them on Weds. They came by UPS express from Memphis and I am in Miami, Fl.

Our MB link finally became active and it allowed us to personalize our bands. We are so excited and hope the same happens soon for everyone else!!!

I am too. No package and never got a formal invite. However, I now have MBs and got FP+ and BOG lunch.

Radiorox- what are your travel dates? Is your ap linked to your account?
