I just saw my first fp+ commercial

[Auntie Sherry]

Anyone one else see it? It says test. I find it interesting it advertises as a test and does not actually tell you about it. What are your thoughts?

I did see a commercial tonight that showed the bands and mentioned FP+.

I saw it tonight too. It made me wish I were there and not in -5 degree winter here in the Midwest.

Listening to Lumiere's song and the commentator at the end will touch on it's use. The crossed my mind that FP's will be spread around more, without hiring a Kids Nite Out employee to help with the FP dash...thank God!

I am disappointed that they are advertising it as a "test" when they have gotten rid of the original FP system before the bugs are worked out of this system. This method of FP is mandatory, not really a test.

Just saw the commercial this morning. I sure hope it's still a test - the software clearly isn't ready to go live yet!

(I'm currently showing different FP+ times for two park days on two different screens, and one screen says I have Space Mountain at two different times on the same day for the same people!)

My concern was they say you don't have to wait in line but no mention of the limitations. Someone who only knows what they see in a Disney commercial is going to be in for a shock when they only get 3 FP+.

They likely view shutting off FP- as the quickest way to test. I assume one of these tests is gathering data on total FP+ consumption on busy weekends to potentially adjust total allotment.

People can complain all the want but if they gave away unlimited FP+ for Soaring and you couldn't get 1 at the park you would be mad.

My wife got all excited for the trip when she saw it and I am always excited to go back.

Well, the whole "Jeff Mauro's Family Vacation at Walt Disney World" was essentially an hour-long commercial about the MB and FP+.

I received an email the other day...

Tells me all about how they're testing FP+ with the MagicBand and MDE...

It's the kind of email they should have sent out about a year-and-a-half ago.
