Any UK bookings able to use FP+ ?

[Sencybil]

So apparently most of the Disney resorts have been added to the ongoing test of magic bands and FP+ for October check ins (as of yesterday). This includes SSR, though nothing confirmed on OKW yet.

Any UK guests been able to customise bands or make FP+ selections at resorts that weren't previously part of the testing? I'm particularly interested in SSR. If you've already done online check in, you may need to open that up as if to make a modification and re-save your details. Hasn't worked for me though.... Interested to hear your experiences.

Thanks

I'm staying at he yacht club next week and have customised my bands and made my FP+. Looks like the fastpasses have worked, they're all liked up in my reservations. Time will tell if my magic bands have been successfully customised though!

All resorts have now been added to the test / rollout (including OKW), but still no luck for me.

There's a thread on the Theme Parks Attractions and Strategies Board, tracking when people are able to customise bands / make FP+ reservations. I think its just based on DISers posting their experience, rather than any official list issued by Disney. Some get e-mails inviting them to, others just log in to MDE and find the functionality is now available. It all seemed to kick off yesterday, with all the resorts not previously on the Sep / Oct test opening up over a couple of hours.

Great - my booking at SSR starts on 20th october with their roll out on 21st. I guess that means no magic bands for us ;o( Is it something you can switch to when you get there or do they have to be booked before you go??

what comes out of the various threads is that, sometimes, doing online check in all over again unlocks MBs and FP+ if your resort has just been added to the test.

might be worth redoing OLCI if MBs still aren't available. (without any guarantee that it will work, but it doesn't hurt to try)
