Free Dining Oct-Dec Is Here!!! (And a whole lot more) ~ Part 3

[Chela227]

Possibly could be a little farther out. I am at day 33 and I had the pop up for FP and MB's last week. They also give you a time limit. I had to have my MB's customized by August 22, otherwise they were going to send all gray ones without names.

Good to know! Thanks.

Yes, I'm pretty sure I know exactly which colors my family will want. DH blue, DS7 yellow, DS 6 red, DD4 pink. Not liking my leftovers...they need purple.

Exactly! Purple is my go to color, I guess I am getting charcoal.

So, I don't see my FD anywhere in MDE...I got a confirmation email, so I'm not concerned- but should I see that somewhere?

There is some glitch in MDE and showing complete packages. Some people can see FD, some people can't. As long as it is on your email you are good!

Aw! You'd rather have grey than a different color?

I'm thinking the same thing. Purple is my first choice, then red but thats my son's favorite. The others will be spoken for as well. Green and orange are my least favorite colors. Grey might not be bad if I plan to use it to accessorize! LOL!

 

[gterin1524]

Maybe yellow? I don't know I figured I could accessorize a charcoal one easier, and pay for it with my magicband. .

Wow! We are so thinking alike!!!

 

[gterin1524]

I know right! Surely we can find some purple accessories.

Lol! That's true!!

Solids in pink, blue, orange, red, yellow, green, gray and they will put your name on them. No purple but they have totally cute accessories to attach to your bands.

I swear I saw a pic of someone's bands and they had a purple one. But maybe it was just in a dream! Lol!

 

[wunkmom]

So, I thought I'd ask this group, since y'all are the most knowledgeable.......... my FD has never shown up on MDE, which, i see posted above is a known issue, even to Disney tech support. So, I'm not worried about that at all.

My question is : my MDE is showing a 6 day PH pass for each of us (which is correct), however, there is no ticket/pass number for any of these 6 day PH passes. Is that normal? Is the ticket/pass number assigned upon check-in? If that is the case, would the ticket/pass number be assigned upon ONLINE check-in?

I guess the reason I'm worrying about all of this is because of the possibility of Magic Bands, because, don't you have to have your ticket/pass numbers to assign to a certain Magic Band if/when that becomes an option for you? Strangely, I was able to link my MNSSHP passes to my MDE and these show up in the "manage my Magic Bands and cards" section in MDE. But currently, these are the only thing showing up there.

Any comments, suggestions, info is greatly appreciated as always!

Anyone?

I saw the pic too, but it was not offered as a color for the trial option I was surprised when it wasn't there; every color except purple.

 

[plutospalforever]

My MDE does not show any numbers for my PH tickets and I believe that is normal. I have been told that as long as everything is correct on your official confirmation from Disney, then all is good. I have also been told to carry and have that official confirmation on hand, just in case. There are still a lot of bugs to be worked out with MDE. What my info says on the app version is even different than the computer version In the reservation area of MDE it states MYW pkg +dining (which is correct), but in another area it stated quick service dining, which is not correct.

No purple??? Ugh??? Lol

Has anyone thought about what there FP+ choices will be yet?

I know, right?? Why leave out purple???

The FP+ experience was a little different than I expected. You pick a park you are visiting for the day and MDE gives all the FP choices and you can select up to 3. For the most part, it gives you options A through D and each option has a time for each ride selected. You have to pick one of the options. You can then go in later and modify the time or experience, but in my case, there were not a lot of different time choices. For three of my days, it gave me a "bonus" FP+ selection, making a total of 4 for those days. On one of my days, it gave no choice of options, there was only one.

Am I reading this right the FP+ magicbands options are available after the 60 day check in window, if it is available at your resort and during your time frame?

Can you set up your FP+ the morning that your heading to a park? I have no idea where we'll be and when. When we wake up that morning we'll decide what park we're going to.

Yep, it looks like this occurring some time after your 60 day mark; maybe closer to 40-30 days. My cut off time to customize bands was exactly one month before my arrival. If your resort is chosen, etc., a pop up screen will appear when you log in to your MDE. It will say customize your bands and select your FP+ options. So keep checking!

It looks like you can, however this is one of the downsides to the system. The question is, what will the availability be like???? I was surprised that there were not more time options. I would suggest trying to figure out, vaguely, what parks you might be going to and make some selections so you will at least have something. You can go back and make all sorts of changes, but again, the availability question. I will go back and list all the change options they have, just a sec...
