Anyone in December getting FP+ and MB

[wreckitfan]

I just redid online check in and the words personalize MagicBands popped up!!! So excited to finally try them out after I had been hearing so much about them! I just did a happy dance around my room!!! We barely missed trying them out when we went in July they were at the resort we stayed at and everything I was so disappointed!!

I check in on the 4th and was just able to customize fast passes....however only for 2 days of my trip. When I tried to do the 3rd day, it told me I had to replace those for one of my other days I had booked. I am happy for what I got, but it seems strange!

I had to modify my check in to get the bands and I have made choices for my days that I could make. I am hoping more opens up later as I am not going to be happy if I can't get Enchanted Tales with Belle for my MK day. No it will not ruin my trip as I will see it next time but I wonder if the people with MB from an early stay booked them up already? I don't think that would be the case but it might be.

I do not have magic bands yet and was able to book ETWB for Dec. 5, and it still showing multiple time options....seems like it is random who sees what--very frustrating! I truly hope they don't erase everything!

I have the same thing happening. I currently have 4 fastpass reservations on one day.

Still no MBs

It still shows extra FP's on my itinerary page but if I go into my FP+ menu it only shows my modified FP's, 3 per day, with all the correct modified times.

Now I have to decide if I want to change my MB color. Most of my Disney shirts are grey, black, or white so I was thinking I'd just stick with grey but that seems so boring.... what to do? what to do?

I can't believe how much fun I've had messing around with all this stuff tonight.

It shows up on the right side of your main MDE page under the options for FP and MB. It will appear at the 60 day mark.

I checked these board earlier tonight and nothing ... then looks like around 11pm everything blew up!

Here's what I have experienced (for comparison's sake):
We are checking in Dec 8 @ POFQ. I had already done online check-in, but I went in and modified it (didn't actually change anything, just went back through the screens), and after that, my options changed from "Manage" to "Personalize" Magic Bands.

So I was able to customize bands for DH & myself, no problem.

When I go to FP+ selections, it says it is showing me Dec 8-12, but is in fact NOT showing the 8th, but is showing the 9-13
Anyway, when I select the 9th (or any other day on our trip), it takes me to the "select members of party" screen, which I do, and then it *says* it is opening the Choose a park screen, but it doesn't -- I just get an error saying "No FP+ selections are available this day". I tried each day, same thing. Weird. It's 1 am now, so giving up, but will be trying (while working, ahem) tomorrow!!


Happy there is progress & I got to customize our MBs, will be happy when I can play with the FP+ too!

I had looked a couple times earlier today and nothing had changed. When I saw the action on DIS I checked again and everything worked!! We are going Dec. 12th-24th and I was able to personalize MB and do all FP+ for the trip!! We are very excited!!

Update:
I have made FP+ selections for every day of our trip minus departure day, (12/12-18) on our AKL-K ressie!
Modified the times on all of them to fit how I think the day will go, but ready to change if more options open up.

I modified my check in, and was able to customize our MB and have 25 days left to do so, so now I'm all set minus hoping more options open in FP+ and maybe getting a BOG FP test!

I had to modify my check in and then I was allowed to customize my magic bands!!! so excited!! AHH I've been so eager for this!

WDW - dec1-6

We check in on the 13th, my problem is every time I try to link my ressie to the magic bands it's coming up that my reservation is already linked to another reservation, which is just my regular Pop resv!!!!! TOTALLY confused and called tech support and they told me that they won't have the bands in operation for the Value resorts done until mid Nov and that they just finished the moderate resorts. He said to try back mid Nov

I hope he's wrong! I'm staying at POP too but not checking in until the 28th so I've got a few days yet before I can check.

How many days are on the passes you have linked to your account? The system will only allow you to make FP+ selections for the number of days of park admission you have.

 

[Samandmom]

I am not getting any FP+ options or personalized my magic bands options. I'm still 65 days out so I will wait and see.

I am not getting any FP+ options or manage by magic bands options. I'm still 65 days out so I will wait and see.

You will not get access until the 60 days out mark.

 

[BabyFu18]

I'm checking in 12/5 and still no option to customize MBs or do FastPass+ not sure why! maybe it's because I haven't done online checkin?

I didn't do online check-in because we are staying CL and on the resort boards people say not to do online check-in if your staying CL. But if I need to do it to get it to allow me to use FastPass+ or to trigger the MB customization I will.

Anyone else having issues?

 

[siriuslydisney]

I'm staying at POP too.. and I just had to modify my check in and whatnot and I was able to customize my bands and do the FP+.. I check in dec 1 though.
