Can you link your MNSSHP and MVMCP on the MDE website?

Yes, but they will link on MDE, but will not link to MB. Hope that helps!

 

[prettypatchesmsu]

Correct.

Although I feel like I remember hearing someone say that after they used their first FP+ of the day, they were able to change one of the remaining FP+ selections to that same attraction they had already gone on. Not sure if that was a glitch, if they were mistaken, or if that's how it works, though!

I also remember that post, but its the only report like that which I have seen.

 

[mommy2mrb]

still having issues adding the teenagers in our group of friends going to each other's MDE, adults added with no issues....

anyone else having problems with that? should we just be calling IT to have them added??

 

[gismo1554]

All Stars isn't included, so I switched to Pop.

Thanks! Gonna speak to my TA see what she can do.

Anyone know if you can make Fastpass+ for more than 1 park on the same day? I seem to remember reading that you can't but can't seem to find where I saw this. As I don't do many rides was thinking I could book a morning slot in one park on one ride then an evening slot on one in another park.

Thanks

I've been able to link my MNSSHP/MVMCP Will Call order to MDE. Tickets now show up, and I've been able to reassign them to the members of my party.

I've also added a 1 day hopper which raises a question :

I do a split stay (3 nights at AoA, 21 nights at POR)
On MDE, I have a 1 day hopper I will use during my AoA stay (only doing 1 day in the parks as I have MNSSHP tickets for the other 2 days)
and I have a 21 days ultimate ticket to use with my POR stay

Now the question is : since both tickets are linked on MDE, how on earth will the turnstile (or mickey head) know that I'm using the 1 day hopper for my first entry and not my 21 days ticket?
The 21 days expires 21 days from activation, so if it's this ticket that's activated on my first day in the park, I will miss 1 day at the end of my stay (bear in mind that I have 1 + 21 days of park tickets, to use over the course of 23 days, with a non-park day between the 1 day hopper and the 21 days ultimate ... hope that makes sense)

Second issue is that I'm still stuck with 14 days total for FP+
Until I linked the 1 day hopper, I could only book FP+ for 14 days, when I had a 21 nights stay and a 21 days ticket. FP+ system told me that I had used up my FP+ limit that was set depending on my tickets ... (which should have been 21 days worth of FP+

but now that I've linked my 1 day hopper I can access FP+ for my AoA stay, but if I choose 1 day of FP+ for the time period I'm at AoA, I can now only book 13 days of FP+ for my POR stay

so now I have 25 nights booked on property, with 22 days worth of tickets, and I can only make 14 days of FP+ selection

I contacted IT a week ago (8 days today) and they were supposed to get back to me within 3 days ... still waiting ... I will contact them again tonight.

anyone has had issues with having 2 separate tickets on their MDE ? how does this work ?

Sorry, I can't answer your question, but I'm hoping you can answer mine, pretty please? Did Disney send your MagicBand to you in France, or do you have to pick them up when you arrive in WDW?

MBs don't ship outside of the US.

Foreign guests get their MBs at the resort.

Things could change, so you never know.

Just have to keep our fingers crossed.

We'll have to keep an eye out for each other.

We will be there thd 8-18

From the Park Experience Terms & Conditions:

You may make FastPass+ selections for one park per day. You may only select and use a FastPass+ selection for a particular attraction, entertainment or restaurant experience once per day.

It is likely that 14 days is a set limit for booking FP+. As you use it up you will be able to make more. So on day one make them for day 15 and so on.

Also you have to activate/set priority for the tickets in your account, that is done on either the magicband or tickets page(I've seen it I just forget which page). That is what will control what ticket you use when.

I have seen this "set priority" for tickets. I don't understand what I would be prioritizing. Is that for FP+ or our actual "tickets" and do I need to do this??? Should I do this??? Any info would be appreciated.

We were just there during the testing in August. Sadly we were staying at the Boardwalk and couldn't test. Well, ok, it wasn't really that sad. It was AWESOME! I was at the Boardwalk. Anyway, I talked to a lot of people testing and spent a ton of time chitchatting with our concierge and used the RFID tickets for everything but the attractions and formed some opinions. I posted them all here. It's 3 chapters worth so I didn't want to clutter this thread with it all but thought some of you who are about to go might be interested.

Also, we clearly didn't have bands since we weren't testers. But some people have said they don't want bands. The card works totally fine. There is NO reason to get a band if you don't want one. My husband has an iphone case that is also his wallet. He was able to put his RFID Key to the World in it and then just put his wallet up to the Mickeys and they would glow green. It was very convenient for him. He just had to carry his phone/wallet into the park. That was it. He loved it and might do it in the future instead of the band.

It is for tickets. Some people will have multiple valid tickets linked to their account and the system needs to know which to use.

trouble is that I don't have any "priority" option
all I can do is reassign tickets and "view additional details" which tells me that the tickets have not been used (obviously) and they're correctly assigned to whoever they should be assigned to.

but no priority settings in the ticket section

Were there any rumors about testing at the Boardwalk to begin in the near future?

I would call IT and ask them but for entry I'd use the physical ticket to enter the park not the magic band just to prevent errors.
If it is attached to your room key then just enter with that. The MagicBands don't need to be activated at the gate or anything for the FP+ to work.

That is awesome that DH will still be able to have the card, so far wearing the band is what is bothering him the most. Not having to dig the card out of his wallet will be a plus to him.

Question about Magic Bands/Cards and Tickets I hoping someone may be able to answer.

On MDE I have for myself 1 Magic band and one 5-day park pass. (I check in later in Sept)

The park pass shows listed under the "tickets" section. And it also shows under the Magic bands/cards section. Is that correct? Or is the Magic bands/cards section only supposed to show the magic band and KttW card?

I'm not sure if "card" means KttW card or any ticket. And my mom, who has annual pass, only shows the magic band under Magic bands/cards and the annual pass show under tickets.

Not sure if this is a problem or not. If so I want to try to get it fixed before our trip.

Thanks!

I don't know what the page is supposed to show but my page shows all our room keys, our magic bands and our annual passes. It never showed our standard tickets. Those only ever showed up on the tickets page.

We will be doing a split stay (room only) in October so we show two different sets of Magic Bands in my MDE account. I've linked our 10-day park tickets to my MDE account as well. Now I have a few questions...

So now are all 10 days of our park tickets available on BOTH sets of Magic Bands?

Should we now be able to use our Magic Bands as park tickets without doing anything else to set that up?

Should we also bring our paper park tickets purchased from Undercover Tourist as a back up?

Once we start using the Magic Bands as entrance into the parks, are the paper tickets still valid and able to use them for entry into the park for any remaining unused days?

Also, during this testing period I thought I've read where people who used Fastpass+ where still able to use their paper park ticket to get additional regular Fastpass. Is that still the case?

Thanks!!
