Anyone in December getting FP+ and MB

[AmyB2006]

Maybe it's a good sign. Maybe it means they are in the system adding/fixing things. Lol.

Let's hope. I'm gonna try again in a few minutes. LOL

Can't...

Stay...

Away....!!!!

I'm tempted to switch our arrival date to 11/30 instead of 12/1. I was planning on staying home Black Friday to shop, then head out for our drive to Disney World on Saturday with an arrival on Sunday 12/1. But if we leave on Friday instead, we could be there 11/30. Hmm.

Although my DD works at Abercrombie, so I have to see if she gets scheduled for Black Friday.

That is what we did. Although, we had NO idea about MB's and FP+ at the time we did it. We added a day because it made for a slower drive down, and I really wanted to stay at AoA!! It's my goal to stay at each resort at least once, and we haven't been there yet.

So, we now have MB's and have been able to make FP+ ressies for our whole trip. We also have a Dec. 1 check in at our home resort of SSR, so I keep checking MDE to see if our MB's for that resort show up. I really feel bad for those with (especially early) December check in's... it's just out of reach!! I'll be SO glad when they open December! It is interesting to see what the new "normal" will be after they get this fully rolled out.

I'd love to switch our check in to Nov. 30, but unfortunately there will be family in town for Thanksgiving. lol

Just explain to them the importance of getting to Disney on the 30th! They'll understand, right? LOL

I think December will open up eventually. I have a Nov 30th check in, which I made back in February, and I have a feeling that I will receive my MagicBand exactly one day before the Dec 1st check ins.

I am trying to keep up with all this, but failing.

We check in 12/27 (72 days out, as of today). I have my reservations linked (BLT), people linked, dining linked, and now purchased but not activated APs linked. I don't see an option to get bands/cards for me yet.

Will this only happen if we are chosen (still in testing)?

will this happen once we are 60 days out?

What should I expect?


I normally wouldn't be concerned, but this is our first later (christmas, or later) trip in december and I was thinking that maybe having at least 3 FP+ reservations for each day would make it a bit more manageable with the crowds. If we were going say in september, I wouldn't even bother.

Have I done everything I can? Is this system coming out soon or what? Its driving me a bit crazy. I just need to know, either way, period.

Thank you SO MUCH for any help here. I really appreciate it.

Well, as of October 23rd, all resorts are testing. If things continue the way they have been, people with December check ins should be able to customize MBs and make FP+ around October 20th (ish)

will this happen once we are 60 days out?

Probably not. Once fully operational, that is the belief. But right now, no. All of December will probably open up at once. Again, if they follow what they've done prior.

What should I expect?

Anything.

Sounds like you have. Nobody knows for sure when it's coming out. It's driving us all slightly crazy.

Hope that helps.

As usual, anything can happen, and this is all based off of what has already happened and is pure speculation. Nothing official.

Even though I know it's not available yet, I keep clicking the buttons like a monkey trying to get a reward.

Now that is Funny! Maybe should be a Commerical!

Now that is Funny! Maybe should be a Commerical!

It's so true though!! lol I check EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Multiple times a day. It's ridiculous!

My husband and I are staying at three separate resorts this trip, and are getting three separate sets of Magic Bands! I thought people were randomly selected? Kind of convenient for us to be selected at each resort. (Unless I misunderstood the whole ''who tries the Magic Band'' thing.

So excited!!

We've picked multiple colors, since I had a hard time at first choosing which color I wanted and so I can color coordinate a bit better.

Anyone else gotten multiple sets?

CANT WAIT to try them out! I was hoping and praying we'd be able to try them out.

everyone that has a reservation before dec 1 will get one per reservation. It's not random. The entire resort participating gets bands and all resorts are participating after late October.

I've been reading all the posts, but I don't know where I even begin when I look at MDE. I see my hotel (POR), adr, and tickets (bought everything through AAA). Where do I go from here??? Any help would be grateful. We leave December 5.

Glad to know I'm not the only one...

Once you are eligible for MyMagic+ (MagicBands & FastPass+), the 'Manage MagicBands' option will change to 'Personalize MagicBands' on the MDX website.

 

[DbleTheFun]

Just to make sure I'm ready to go when December launches... Can someone confirm for me: Currently I have 2 of the new green cards, and then a DVC PAP that expires mid trip, and 3 additional old style paper tickets. I have linked them all to MDE and all of them are showing under "my tickets" and are appropriately matched to the family member I assigned them to. (On both laptop and MDE App on iphone) BUT... Only the two green cards are listed under the list when I click "manage magic bands/cards". Is this normal? Since my other tickets (including my PAP) are showing under the reservations/tickets section, does that mean they are properly linked and I will have no problems creating magic bands and making FP+ selections?

Anyone?

You SEE your reservation? and all people are on your account?

Now you just be patient until Dec FP+ becomes available

If I am understanding you correctly, all the tickets are properly linked to all the correct people. You are just wondering if it is normal to only see the green cards when you click on "Manage MagicBands". I'm not exactly sure what the green cards are, unless they are the Key to the World cards (Mine are light blue). It is normal to only see the Key to the World cards. Once you are able to Personalize MagicBands, then you will see the MagicBands and the cards.

MagicBands and fp+ are separate things. You can customize a MagicBand without having tickets. Only a resort reservation is required for MB's. You can make fp+ reservations without customizing MB's. But you can't do either until they open it up for December.

Under 'MagicBands & Cards', you will see any RFID Device/Card that's been assigned to you. That can be a MagicBand, RFID KTTW card and/or any tickets/passes issued on RFID cards.

Under the 'Tickets and Passes' section of 'My Reservations', you should see all your actual tickets and passes regardless of the media they are issued on (tyvek aka paper and/or RFID card).

 

[nardoneje]

Wait.. Should I have a KTTW card showing up under MagicBands and Cards? Trip is paid for and I see all my reservations, but when I click on Magicbands and cards this is what I get... "Error: We are unable to display certain MagicBand order details at this time.
If some or all of your orders are not present, please refresh the page or try again later."
