Fall 2016 planning (continuation of 2016 Free Dining Watch)

[prettypatchesmsu]

We booked the FD BounceBack in October and we have no magnet in our booklet. I had to go look as I thought I'd missed it. We've never got the magnet or the flash drive. Just the incredibles booklet or the equivalent.
The last I heard, the luggage tags come in your Magicband box. The color and who is on the luggage tag matches your band color. Last year they had just started shipping them like that so ours wasn't in our box. But we got the gray Mickey/Minnie ones in the mail a few weeks later because they had not been included.

For those asking about the late night safari, it won't be completely in the dark. They will have special lighting. Also I have heard there will be no flash photography allowed.

Here is a video of one of the preview rides they had:

Vent:
OH MY GOSH, MICKEY! Release the December hours already!

Thanks, I feel a little better now.

Your right! I completely forgot they came with the magic bands last year. They were at the very bottom of the box under the bands.

Funny enough I got my mail today and I got 2 Incredible vacation packets - ours (we ended up booking 2x and cancelling one lol), and one that was stuck to the back of ours but belongs to a Stacy in Iowa

Oh no! Kinda funny, but also kinda . It's not me though!

Maybe. We're staying a moderate for 5 nights with free dining... but no magnet. Maybe the magnets are only for deluxe?

I'm staying for free dining 8 nights at a moderate fooled by RO for 2 at deluxe and didn't get one for either one.

So I just called Disney about the books. Essentially the castmember who answered my call said that if you book through a travel agent you don't get a book. BUT he also said if you are a returning guest to Disney you won't get one either and that kind of contradicts what I am seeing here on the boards. And he also said it depends on the area you live in if you are in their marketing area then you would get one. I don't think anyone knows really the rhyme or reason on who does and who doesn't get a book.

I had to check my book, which I received a couple weeks ago. No magnet. This is the first onsite I've booked as an adult, so it's not a new guest vs returning guest thing. I can imagine the marketing area plays a role, though. Unless we all start offering up our addresses, I don't think we'll figure that one out. And while you guys are AWESOME I'm not about to post my address

We booked through an agent last trip and still got a book

I got my book and it even says Welcome back to Fort Wilderness. It is our 2nd trip there.

And the shirt collecting has begun...found some toddler sized BB8 shirts online at Kohls, they came today. My 2yo is so happy! I stashed one for Disney and let him have the other. He's been hugging himself all day haha.

That warms the cockles of my heart!!!!!

That's amazing you got to go to Disneyland 40 times! I hope you have a wonderful trip and I'm sure you'll love the CP!!!!

Thank you SO much!!! I hope your trip is filled with tons of pixie dust!!!!!

That gave me a chuckle. Since it hasn't been postmarked, maybe you can just drop it in the mailbox. Or, better yet, write a little note to Stacy and tell her to come check out the disboards.

Did Stacy get a magnet?

Same here. We booked last year through a TA and got a book. Booked this year again through a TA, got a book with magnet, and then booked through same TA for FD and just received our book with no magnet.

Lol! Hey, well it sounded good!I would have agreed sbout these marketing area because I never get pin codes, but I got a book last year, when I ended up canceling. I booked this trip direct, and my sister got one and this is her 6th trip. We booked the exact same trip within minutes of one another. She got one, I didnt. They must hate not having a real answer for people though.

I'm getting the same error. This happened last week when I went to change a ressie. Tried an hour or so later and it was fine. Not sure if site is updating or overwhelmed. Hope you get what you want!
