Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

[Arsenal1982]

Well, didn't you say Boardwalk? I don't believe they are a test resort on September anyway. Sorry!

This is for November. I figured maybe FP+ would be rolled out for good by then.

Ah! I understand now. And there is a chance that if it isn't rolled out Boardwalk will have at least been added.

 

[DisCanadian7]

Have any Canadians in the September MagicBand test had their MagicBands shipped to Canada as opposed to directly to the resort?

Not yet but keep you posted my are still customizable we'll last time I checked. A lot of the US only wording disappeared from the MB FAQ but one so here's hoping they are testing the international shipping as well. After all DME is going to use MB for boarding tickets when fully live

Yup still leaves me with the dilemma of how to get my Travelocity tix linked to MYE. I guess I could always just cancel them and buy them through Disney.com eventhough I got them for 10% off from Travelocity. Hmmm....

Try what I did when my AP voucher wouldn't link to "Will Call" Choose "this ticket was purchased before February" there should be a longer bar code number. Type that in and see what happens

Those who are unable to schedule fast pass + for sept 29 and later... Has anyone spoken to cast member? I can schedule the 23-28 but not the 29th.

Traveling Sept. 17-21, staying at the POP. Two days ago I was able to pick FP+ times and last night I was able to customize a band and give a shipping address. I was not notified about participating, it simply allowed me to add these things to my experience when a few weeks ago I could not.

This worked for me thanks, Nicole. You really saved me time and money. We were going to drive up tomorrow to activate DD and DSIL's SP at DTD and I can't resist Jelly Bellys from Goofy's candy store or bath bombs from Basin. Plus my DD was talking about going to a park. I said "and waste a month for a few hours?? No way!"

 

[krissypoo1975]

I spoke with a CM today and she said that POLY was part of the September test group! Yay. I tried the online check in trick and sure enough I could customize my bands. Yay! I'm not sure yet what all of this means though. Lol

 

[yellowfish78]

I have a few questions!

For those that have personalized their bands...I've done that. I've picked my colors and I clicked the Done button. I'm still able to change them around though...am I missing a 'confirm' button somewhere? Or will I be able to change them up until the 'complete by Aug 22nd' date given and then they will ship?

I'm doing a split stay at AKV and AoA. I've confirmed TWO sets of MB's for each confirmation. Has that happened to anyone else?

I am not able to get any BoG FP+ after 9/28 and still not getting FP+ options for any date after 9/29. Anyone able to confirm any FP+ options on this date or after yet?

Thanks!!!

I'm travelling 17-23 and was not able to customize my bands but was able to do FP+. Now I can't do anything as all my info is not visible.

 

[SecretPoohLove]

Got the invite emailed to me today -made the RO reservation on Tuesday evening (it automatically linked to my package at a non-testing resort), made the fastpass+ selections and customized magic bands on the same day. We got our magic bands in the mail yesterday morning.

Here's the email invite:




Hello -------- Party,

As an upcoming Disney Resort hotel Guest, you could help us test a new way to experience Walt Disney World Resort before we share it with the rest of the world. It's a new collection of magical tools we're calling MyMagic+.

We arrive Sep 19 in BLT on points, have our 7 day PH tickets linked and checked in online. Should we be getting an invite?

 

[quandrea]

Do I need to do online check in if I am to hope for the magic band invite? Staying at akl kidani 9/24-10-1. I had linked hotel ressie and Aps but the Aps don't show up.

 

[jpessa]

Anybody know what the dates of the September test are? I read here that it starts with guests arriving in selected resorts September 3rd but until when?

I ask because I have a split stay starting at POP September 25th, and I got FP+ and MBs, but didn't get prompted for a second set for my second reservation checking into AoA on September 30th.

Between that and not being able to book FP+ after the 28th makes me wonder.

I was wondering the same thing. The option to choose the 29th is there but won't actually let you pick fastpasses when you go thru the steps.

I just to a CM and was told that the bands and FP+ invitations would be sent to guests 15 days prior to reservation. We are arriving at ASMo on the 27th of Sept. Maps are ordered, dining reservations made, and now I am trying to make t-shirts and autograph books for the grandsons.

I could customize my bands at 25 day out and received them at 23 days out.

 

[Lindz518]

Obviously this may not be accurate, but I just called to ask about FP+ for Wishes and parades not being an option on Sat. 9/21. I was told they aren't yet available and to check back around 9/7. Has anyone else been able to book these on this date yet??

 

[2009CAN]

I just customized our bands! So excited, EXCEPT! My DS, who is nearly three does NOT get one because he's still considered an infant. Sigh.
It's not the end of the world, but he's going to want to be like his big sisters. I have to try and find something magic band-like for him to have. Anyone had a suggestion of something that would fit on a skinny two-year-old's arm?
