Any September guests received FP+ testing invite?

Same here - Saweeeeeeeeet!

My co workers always say I missed my calling as a stand up comedian.

And I have no bitterness. In two and a half weeks I will still be at Disney World at a gorgeous non-testing hotel. I've got free dining and some great restaurants booked. I just got the Disney Infinity game to distract me. Oddly enough it works on RFID like the bands. Lol. Wonder if someday I can link a Magic Band to the game. Lmao.

How is the game?!

For those worried about ups shipping I guess you don't order a lot of things? Or maybe don't obsessively check the status of things not coming from disney a lot of times you will get the messages you're getting if it hasn't really shipped yet ie it has been received by the shipping agency but has made movement or the agency (ups here) has been notified there is something they will be shipping but hasn't received. Whatever warehouse these come from will print labels which gives a tracking but that doesn't mean they've been shipped of even received by ups yet. Hence no info to track.

Fwiw customized mine Friday night shipped last night at 830 from TN it looked like and arrived in md on my door step at 830 am.

So breathe in breathe out. Mine was a 12 hr delivery. You can do this !

Now if only the fp+ system was as exciting as receiving a colorful shiny new magic band in the mail for free...

I don't think I've seen this question yet... I booked a free dining package. Will my meals be on my Magic Band and if so, will I not have access to them until I get to the hotel? I'd like to go straight from MCO to lunch at Downtown Disney but will I be able to use meal credits at that point?

If it matters, I did do online check-in.

Ordered mine Thursday (for a (9/13 stay). Still showing they're being processed, but I can't make changes. If I remember correctly, some people received the "item has shipped" email after they were already on their doorstep or an hour before they arrived. I'm not worried...yet

Arrived today. 10am. They're awesome and my four year old is pumped up!

The September group is MUCH more active then the August MB testing group.

It should be very interesting to hear all the reports back from everyone.

Especially excited to hear the differences from those with split stays and ghost reservations.

I did online check in Wednesday, FP+'s completed on Thursday and did the Magic Bands on Friday. I expected Mickey mail today (Monday) (and it was right on time, so to speak), since today is 17 days prior to check in Sept 5th.

As of right now my magic bands say they are shipping soon. I have heard that they may arrive about the same time that changes! I should get them in one or two days. I will report immediately!

Tick, tick, tick...

5:15am this morning received the shipping email! (I was not sitting up all night waiting for it, honest!) When I checked, MDE in the Magic Bands area says simply, "Shipped to TIMOTHY WILLIAMS."

Now I'll see how long it takes. (Yawn)

9:14am delivered by UPS!

Has anyone who customized their MagicBands on Friday received a shipping notice or had their MagicBand status change to shipped?

Got the email this morning and they arrived today.

In fairness to the August testers, a lot of them are actually still there (or are about to leave) testing this thing. I know I don't plan on logging into the DIS to report my experience with it until AFTER my vacation is over.

 

[Raenstoirm]

Mine arrived today too!

 

[Stormeyes]

We overlap dates at Pop, give us a wave if you notice. My DD's 22 and 23, DSinlaw25 and Me 48. We are usually wearing matching shirts.

Totally! I got a picture of me in my trip report if you notice us first! Hope your vacation with your newly married daughter is as AWESOME as ours!!!

So, my Magic Bands came, and I made an informational video. Enjoy

Walt Disney World Magic Band Arrival (by Stormeyes)

Has anyone in Canada received their Magic Bands, or has it been confirmed that they will be waiting at the resort upon arrival?

I tried to get BOG lunch reservations. I went to beaourguestlunch.disney.go.com and logged in. It recognized my first and last name but wanted me to put in my resort res#. When I try to put that in it will only let me enter numbers not the letters am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help?

Do you have DME tags, try the number on those. That's what I had to use!

 

[WishingMom]

i wonder what the UPS driver would think of this as he approaches my doorstep to leave the magic bands today.

This made me smile

I know some people had issues getting bands for under 3's. My son will turn two during our trip, and his band arrived along with the rest of ours today (we are staying at AKL). BTW...they totally work on all sized wrists. For the little ones, you have to peel away the dark gray layer and you are left with just the colored part of the band which is much smaller than the full band. Both of my little ones are wearing theirs now and loving them. They are so light weight!

My kids wouldn't let me take off the gray part, they wanted to keep it on. They say it doesn't bother them. I have small wrists and wish I could peel off the gray part but I need the very last gray hole and the first pink hole to wear it.

i am very much a Disney Addict and love toy story so i came up with the idea of having Woody look out the window as him waiting for the magic bands to arrive.

 

[MightyGitis]

How is the game?!

Beyond amazing. Just a Disney geeks dream. I helped Mickey Mouse build Cinderella's Castle. I unlocked Spaceship Earth and can now build it wherever I like. It is amazing and dangerous. Lol. I'm 30 and already thinking about buying more characters for it. >.<
