We checked in yesterday and received our magic bands. The lobby was swarming with CMs to help with questions about the bands and fp+. Disney did an excellent job IMHO in having extra staff available to assist guests. There was also a communication session today 8:30-10:30 on the 15th floor for guests to provide feedback about their experiences. (We did not go since we have yet to try out the bands in the parks.) In addition disney research has a mobile office set up by one of the elevator banks where they are asking guests to provide feedback more specifically on the MDE website and mobile app. Finally there is a service/assistance room on the first floor that guests can go to for specific help with magic bands, MDE, fp+, etc. that is open 8 am - 6pm. They had 4 or more CMs here with computers and 2 iPads used as kiosks for MDE. Overall it seems Disney really has taken time and care to help the test be successful, IMHO anyway.
Thank you to all of you testers! I am not sure I would be very happy to have to spend so much of my precious vacation time waiting for someone to straighten things out. I am also worried about the wi-fi service in the parks and how long it's going to take for the software to work using it.
I am hoping we can do this in December for our Christmas trip at AKV. In anticipation, I already had our APs linked to MDE.
I have a question if you do not mind...if I was still in the 90s with my cellular technology would FP+ be a huge issue? On your thread and Belle's Castle's I keep reading about needing to use your phone. I assume you have an iPhone or similar.
Silly question I guess but it may but me over the edge for an upgrade...
Thank you for taking time from your vacation to help everyone (seriously, millions!!! of people!) who visits in the future.

Thank you ddhoeg! Really appreciate the time you are taking for us.
How would this "feel" if you didn't have access to paper FP?
Looking forward to discount answer!
Are the bands for everyone in your party linked so you can all get FP for the same ride at the same time? Is so, what if part of the group wants a different FP?
