***MyMagic+ & FastPass+ Official Information & FAQ Thread***

[66Tink]

So sorry if this has been asked before, but am I correct in reading that your party is only allowed to schedule 3 FP attractions per day and per park? So if I want to use EMH at MK in the am and then hop to EPCOT I can only schedule a total of 3 FP for the entire day? Can I use regular FP too? I am so confused sorry We were sent an "invitation" to participate in our upcoming September trip to the YC and I am not sure what to do...help!

I am trying to understand the new FP+and Magic Band system. I have not registered for any of these in MDE, although when I am logged in I have seen that I can do a FP ADR for BOG. If I do the BOG fastpass, does it mean I have to use the rest of it?

I guess I am not sure it makes sense to me to limit yousrself to 3 FP per day??? What am I missing? Are you still able to get regular FPs while in the parks? I know for a fact that we normally use more than 3 per day. Also, we are normally in at least 2 parks per day.

Another glitch for us, we have 2 day base tickets as part of our package; however, we will be upgrading them to the AFS tickets which I do not believe can be put on the RFID MagicBands.

Anyone able to enlighten me????

For those who have already received magic bands, they are sent to you via Fed Ex, correct? Do I need to be home to sign for them?

Currently you can use both FP systems. Right now is the single best time to utilize the MB and FP+. You get the best of both worlds.

Once the system goes live, who knows which will end up better but for right now, you have no risk for all the reward.

I'm sorry if this has already been answered, but I was wondering, if you have a Magicband that has your AP linked to it, can you still also use the card, or does the card become deactivated then. Has anybody tried using both in the same trip?

I just ordered my Magicband for my trip in Sept., so if we don't know, I will try both and see what happens.

So, in theory, we should be able to plan for 3 FP+ on MDE and then still be able to use the old FP machines in the parks?

If your tickets are on the MB (and I thought I read that you cannot put the AFS tickets on MB) then how do you use the regular FP machines?

 

[Nixie]

Testers are getting both the MB and KTTW "incase" the MB doesn't work. The FP machines right now have been disabled to "check" if the KTTW has been used to enter the park with (incase the testers MB worked and was actually used) therefore the tester can make a FP+ ressie and then take their KTTW card over to a FP machine, stick it in, and out pops a paper FP. That is what is being reported.

So great! Thank you, thank you! I just secured my fastpass+ for BOG! It worked! I even chose our menu items! It's not showing up with my original fastpass+ reservations though, so I hope it's OK!!

It's fine. We just did ours today and it was there no problem. Never got confirmation nor did it ever show up with our other FP+. It was easy peasy and I felt AWFUL for those in the line today. It was hot as blazes. They did have golf umbrellas and lemon water for people in line, though.

People have reported only being able to use FP+ reservations for fireworks shows on the weekends. Could that be why yours isn't working?

Only the weekends. We did Illuminations last night. It was slick!

Right now the BOG FP+ is entirely separate from your regular FP+. You can click the "request fp+" button on the ADR page but it won't ever show up as an actual option.

You can double dip right now. For the test (at least August's version) you are not limited to only FP+. However, no one knows when they will stop giving the KTTW and end double dipping.

For those who have already received magic bands, they are sent to you via Fed Ex, correct? Do I need to be home to sign for them?

UPS. I was able to release mine online and others have reported not needing to sign. So I'd say it's up to your delivery driver.

I just found out my friends are leaving at the end of the month and have planned NOTHING!!!
I am trying to throw together some info for them. Is FP+ testing going on in Sept at YC? Need to know if I should advise them to sign up or not.

Right now, APs work as well as the MBs.

In the future, not sure.

Room keys. And it is not in theory it just is.

Yes, this too. But not old tyvek tickets, at least IME.

They came UPS, and I can not remember if I signed for them. I was so excited the guy thought I was nuts.
