Email yesterday - band one was in kentucky and left last night.

It took the red eye and landed at 625am!

No one will be home today and i heard they just leave it by the mail box. Am hoping not and they leave it near the front door - more secluded.

Two more days for my second step so gotta finish those fp+

Ten days left on the last set which popped up yesterday and got colors this morning.

I don't think Coronado is part of the Oct test. From the October thread, it looks like only the following are part of the test for October: AKL, Contemporary, Pop, POR, AoA, YC, BC, and Polynesian

I guess I had figured they were kind of separate, the bands and FP+. I thought anybody could do FP+ through the app.

No biggie, but I just figured if I was able to do FP+ that I would.

Several things are only available on weekends (Illuminations, Wishes). I have been finding that everyday different things are available - more things as testing gets ramped up. Keep trying!

Thanks!

I'm still debating whether to call IT and have them fix my account. The reservation is in my name, but I am not Magic Band eligible, however I am listed as a friend in my friends and family and the ticket is linked to me there. It's so strange ?

Couldnt see colors this morning but I can now.. we're checking in Oct 8th... so for those of you that had posted about only seeing the grey one, go back and check just in case before calling IT

POR... thnx to another posters suggestion of going back into to "Modify Check In" the bands showed up after that...

I remember reading some info on this but now I can't find it. I am hoping someone here can help me out.

There are four in our party. Is there anyway to schedule 2 for Splash and 2 for Thunder Mountain at the same time? One daughter loves Splash and the other Thunder.

You have to choose one the first time and then modify it I believe. I haven't used the system since first test back in November but that's how it was then.

Got it! My mind is about ready to explode with trying to remember dining, locations and now fastpasses. It adds a whole new layer to planning I don't thing I was ready for.

Thank you!

I got invited to test the bands now I just have I pick a color. No fastpass+ for me this round because CMs are eligible just yet. They've already told us we won't be eligible for a few month unless we have our comp tickets are want to buy tickets. Now buying a ticket just to test something haha.

My MB color choices aside from grey appeared today. I'm glad, I really like the blue one.

I have the same problem and I saw a few other posts where others are in the same boat. However, I have not seen any replies on how to fix it.

I called the Disney IT department they fixed it for me

I found out this afternoon that my husband and I could order our customized bands...which we did. Just checked for FP+ and it gives me the option of making some FP reservations. Before I do I have a couple of questions. I read that you can book 3 reservations but they have to be in one park?? Also read that you can't make any FP reservations at the actual machines if you do the advance reservations? My question is: If you make the three reservations now for the morning park...can you make FP reservations at the machines for your second (afternoon) park? I'm sooo confused

I'm wondering the same. Can I still pull regular fast passes?

Our trip is not until 12/29. Given that it is the holidays though, much as I'm not crazy about the idea of limited fast passes...FP+ may well be a good thing. That said I'm entirely unclear how this might even work. We have:

2 DVC reservations(split stay), each for 8 people. Of those 8 we will have

Myself: Who has a DVC PAP voucher from the promo price last fall. It's just a number, not even a piece of paper and I will redeem that at guest services after we get there. MDE does not recognize the number as a valid ticket media.

The rest of our villa, who should have tickets that I think I will be able to link ok.

Am I correct in understanding that in all likelihood, everyone BUT me will be able to get a magic band and make FP+ reservations?

Can you get the bands (to use as room key) without valid ticket media and then have that linked later or not? My understanding is that if you do the band, and link your ticket to it, it basically commits you to FP+ if they have phased out regular FP's by then but it's probably too early to know if that will have happened by NYE.

The rest of our party is in 2 rooms at the Swan. Am I correct in assuming they will not be able to participate in either FP+ or Magic Bands? Or will they if they set up MDE and have valid ticket media by then.

Last, but a big deal, if we actually set the kids up with accounts, so they can see their own FP reservations, can they go in and change anyone that is linked as well, or just their own? I have a fear of teens changing plans without checking with others first and missing dinner or something.

FP+ and FPstandard are 2 separate and non connected systems. Period. One you will use with your magic bands and the other with your room key (as usual). That's it. Business as usual with FP standard. As in, ignore the fact you have magic bands and go about your day. The FP+ will be used with your MB and yes only 3 per day in total and they are only in one park.

How do you call IT?

I just booked the 3 passes per day (one park). We have annual passes so our passes are not on our room card. Are you saying that we can still get FP's using our annual pass cards when we park hop to a different park?

And in the same park you are using FP+. One thing has nothing to do with the other. If you have MB then you have on the same day, same park, same time access to FP+ on the bands, FP standard on your room key and AP. Hence the term double dipping.
