Anyone in December getting FP+ and MB

[faylynn24]

I am going to definitely tell CM that we want KKTW cards upon check in. We paid for nine day park hopper passes. Our fp+ are only for one park. When we hop, we will want the ability to get fp- in the other park! (Or get fp- in first park and get fp+ in second park) We should not be limited to only fp in one park when we paid for park hoppers.

I agree with this. We pay a good bit extra

See this is something Disney will have to address at some point.

They are only allowing 3 FP+ in one park per day. As of now people are reporting being able to still use regular FP.

Now there is the rumor that certain guests will not be receiving KTTW cards this coming week. I check in on the 26th, so I'll report back.

But this is definitely something that will be a problem, I think, for a lot of people. You're selling and charging for park hoppers, yet not offering FP in additional parks for people? Unless they plan on getting rid of the hopper option, which I can't see happening.

wow-- never considered the park hopper without FP.

See I remember reading that they said you will always get the cards as a back up if the bands don't work.

I think once the system is completely live the way they want it you will see some tweaking to the number of FP+. I'm not in the know as to what thay have planned, but there is numerous ways they could go with this. There could be more FP+ for onsite guests, different amount for level of resort, they could add more FP+ if you purchase Park Hoppers.....lots of different ways they could go with it. I think the number is stuck on 3 right now becasue the paper system is still there and more than 3 would leave no paper FP.

To be fair, you are paying extra to get admission to multiple parks on the same day, not to get FastPasses at multiple parks. FastPasses are just an 'extra', not a guarantee (even FP-).

Currently, if you plan your FP+ for the park you are going to last, you should be able to use a good touring plan & hit the rides you want at the first park early without needing FP.
However, I agree that Disney should both:
a) give a higher # of FP+ per day, and
b) include the option to schedule them at multiple parks in the same day. After all, your tickets have to be linked to your MDE account, so they should know you have hoppers (or APs), and allow those people to make FP+ at multiple parks, if desired.

I have a feeling the "3 at 1 park only" was set up for testing, and they will play with the amount and with the locations as they go ...

Good luck!

Even if it has to be only three a day I think it's unfair to have to be one park. I hope it does change down the road

Thanks. This is good. I think this is going to work perfectly for us, spliting the FP.

Note that you cannot give your child or someone else your FP+ It is tied to you now...

Pretty sure the bracelets come off

We check in 12/31 - still can't do anything with MB yet on the site. Am I the only one not able to??

I also won't be able to do FP+ now having an Orbitz voucher for tiks - ugh!! That doesn't seem fair. They should do something so that all people with reservations (DVC especially) can reserve FP+ in advance, not limiting it to certain types of tickets.

Yes you can.

Yup.

The following month they will start inserting a chip under your skin so it will be a part of you forever, you only need to get it once so you're good for all future trips.

Not sure how much to believe this but I had to call tech support today and the CM I talked to was very helpful with my issue so I decided to question more. According to him It was just announced December is still a testing month and we will still receive KTTW cards which will still allow us to get paper FP. Not after our FP+ s are used. Whenever we want with the old limitations still applied. Like I said there is a lot of info going around so I am not saying this is 100% thus is what I was told this morning.

We arrive 11/24 and I just got an email today offering us the opportunity to test the FP+ system and Magicbands.

We typically are able to use multiple FP per day and park hop. Do folks really believe if I agree to the FP+ test that we'll still be able to pull regular FP's too? I'm a little worried to be honest. 3 FP+ a day isn't going to work for us given out typical usage.

And since we're only about 32 days out - are good times even available for pre-booking? Not sure why we just got the email.
