Anyone in December getting FP+ and MB

[dpuck1998]

We are booked directly through Disney for BWV (not points). When I first made the reservation, I was not able to do anything special (mb or fp+). I just happened to be messing around last night on MDE and I saw the customize MB. I clicked on it expecting one of the messages about "linking friends/ family" or "one of your party has to be in the allowed time...", but it actually let me customize and order all four of our bands. I have until Nov 27 to modify the order. I was surprised it let me do all four, because the friend of dd's doesn't have a ticket linked yet (we, (2) dd's and I are are PAP holders and our new vouchers were linked two weeks ago but the friend will just be purchasing an 8 day hopper). The MB must be linked directly to our room reservation, not the ticket medium, because it let me order for all four people listed on our reservation.

Interesting, the only thing I'm getting on the MDE is my AP's listed (they are the new RFID cards) but no where can I customize MBs for my stay. I'm hoping it appears at 60 days, but you are further out than me and are able to customize, so I'm a little concerned. As long as I can get FP+ at 60 I guess I am fine using the AP cards.

I don't think that the passes being linked is why we could order MB. Only three out of the four guest have tickets now, and I could order MB for all four. I'm pretty sure we will be using the PAP cards, too. We have our vouchers that we will turn in to passes at the Guest Services at the parks, not at hotel check-in. I really think the MB is related just to our room reservation.

The bands are linked to the room reservation. I was able to get one for my 2 year old. It's just the FP+ that's linked to the park tickets.

So I wonder when I'll be able to customize my MB if at all??

I was given the option to "request" a BOG FP this morning by trying to make reservations via the dining reservations page. BOG was listed as an unavailable restaurant but there was a small button that said "request fast pass."

Is it possible to swap tickets after they have been linked to MDE? *I have several unused tickets I purchased in 2009 and I have not fully decided which ones we will use for our Dec trip. *I entered info for 2 tickets because I was told I can swap them for different ones before the trip. *Can anyone confirm this?

TIA!

You have to go to a different website for BOG reservations.

I was able to get Nov 30th but none of the December dates were open yet. I've heard that they open 30 days out.

Does anyone know of using the BOG site for the lunch FP+ counts towards one of the 3 FP+'s we're allotted?

We check in on Dec 12 at AKL, and after going into "Change Check-in" I as prompted to personalize Magic Bands. I did that, and then entered our collection of paper tickets. No problems, except when I go in to view the linked tickets. If I logon as me, I see my two tickets. If I logon as my wife, I see my two tickets (linked to me) and her one ticket.

Not sure why I can't see hers under my logon.

It does not

Have you done this? You were able to keep your 3 FP+ attractions as well as get the BOG lunch FP?

I personally have not (going in Dec) but it has been reported in multiple threads that if you use the Be Our Guest FP+ link to book, it does not count toward your total because it's still in testing and is a separate system. I can't say how long that will last though.

Ok thanks. When the system opens up for Dec. I'll give it a try. I wondered if the two systems 'talk' to each other.

They don't yet, but I imagine they will eventually.

Was this for a date prior to Dec 8th? Apparently fantasmic, parades, wishes and BOG for arrival prior to December 8th are the only ones in the system so far... Others will be loaded soon.

I can get fantasmic for all my dates dec 12th-18th

Ooops, sorry I misread, I thought I read you can't get....

I can get it for the 16th.

Yes I was able to as well..: fantasmic looks to have been loaded in late yesterday- those like me that were checking hourly saw them pop up and were pretty excited! Haha


BOG and parades aren't loaded... But I'm keeping a close eye!
