Magicbands released for Coronado Springs November/December

[Son of Gadsden]

I know there are already a ridiculous amount of Magicbands threads, and I roll my eyes every time a new one pops up, but this caught me by surprise, as I've yet to see Coronado Springs mentioned.

We're staying at Coronado 11/30-12/7, and were just surprised yesterday that we could customize Magic Bands on MDE. Check it if your staying Coronado or anywhere else that has not be announced, you may be surprised!

Coronado Springs was a testing resort in the early days of MB testing, so the resort is all set-up for the new program. I stayed there as part of a 3-resort split stay earlier this month. While I was not FP+ eligible at CSR, the concierge reserved FP+ attractions for me. I also had full use of my Magic Band at the resort.

I check into CSR on 11/30 and was able to do my bands a couple of days ago. No FP+ yet, hoping tomorrow....

Really? Wow. I've been checking everywhere and didn't see anything about testing. Must have overlooked it somehow. Nevertheless, cool.

To be able to book the FastPass Plus, you have to be within the 30 day range of your trip. So exactly 30 days prior, you may start booking them. 17 days prior you can use the special link to book a e our Guest for lunch, and you don't have to receive an invitation to do it. We just did it, and easily got it for 10/17.

We check in to the Coronado 12/16. We booked only recently, so I'm behind on my Disney gossip. How do I find out about the bands? Thanks!!

We are staying there too and mine were available on My Disney experience.com at 60 days out. I checked in and later that day they showed up. We check in on Nov. 23 rd. I already have our FP + booked too but I have not been able to book BoG FP+ for lunch.

Go to www.mydisneyexperience.com. Register/sign in, link your resort reservations by using your confirmation number, then click the link on the right menu that says "Customize Magic Bands/RFID" When you click it, if magic bands show up, you have them. If only cards show up, you don't have them.

I was afraid of that. I've been checking every couple of hours. We check into VGF on 12/06/13. I was hoping they'd get to us. But so far...

We're staying at CSR 11/11-11/15 and when I logged in a couple weeks ago on a whim I decided to try to book FP+ and was able to do so. There weren't MBs available to customize until after I fully paid for the trip (which was a day before the 45 day deadline), but I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not.

I was also able to make lunch FP+ reservations at BOG by going directly to the BOG reservation link:

beourguestlunch.disney.go.com/

and logging in. You have to use your resort reservation number (which is a long string of numbers without any letters) , not your confirmation number to access the sight and make reservations.

Hope it works for everyone else!

We are staying at CSR next week Oct. 17. Already order my MB and have received my MB. So they are available now.

We're staying at the Grand floridian, club level, checking in Nov 10 we just got our envelope today with a letter informing us we had been chosen to try the magic+ FP bands!
We're excited !!
So someone said I'll be able to make lunch reservations at bog with this??? Really?? How do I do that??

I was doing a split stay a few weeks ago and I could not book FP+ as the hotel was not using it yet but it turned on midway. The front desk said by November they would all be on.

No surprises here...

MagicBands are enabled at all resorts for all check-in dates through November 30.

FP+ is enabled some time ahead, usually at least 30 days and sometimes up to 50ish days but we've seen varying reports.

Nothing is enabled for December check-in dates yet.
