No Wristbands for Parties?

[beakerz]

Assuming this is the same as when I was there for MVMCP in Dec:

We had our hard tickets associated with our magic bands... the sole purpose of this was to gain park entry (similar to the old paper ticket for the party) - I did have a copy of the receipt with me just encase, but it wasn't needed.

Regardless of if you gained park entry with a paper/plastic MNSSHP/MVMCP ticket, or your MDE account has the party listed (which they can see via your magic band), they will then give you a physical wrist band for the party.

So don't worry, you're still going to be getting that hospital-style wristband that makes it easy for them to identify you... it's just a different way of entering the park itself for the party.

It's just the hard ticket that is linked to the magic band.

We did this last year & at christmas for a party, you scan your band for entrance/at the kiosk to pick up your party wristband.

Wristbands for party guests are still in place.

I didn't do anything to link mine, and they just appeared in my MDE after I bought them. I choose the regular mail option too. I don't know why mine got automatically linked and others didn't.

Mine automatically linked as well.

I just purchased for both MNSSHP & MVMCP and they didn't like automatically. I linked them myself.

I had to do the same last year, didn't have any problems. But I always had my hard ticket in my bag just in case of any sort of MB emergency

I checked after purchasing our MVMCP tickets, option to mail/hard ticket. I've received the tickets (looks like a Disney Gift Card). I just checked my MDE account after reading posts. Our tickets were not automatically linked, and I ordered through my MDE account, since was checking on AP & DVC party discount dates. However, based on previous posts & experiences from last year tickets & MB, I did not want our tickets linked.

I just checked the MDE site and all of my NOJ tix and MNSSHP tix were automatically linked to all our magic bands. Now I wonder if we will be able to make FP+ reservations ? Last year we couldn't with hard ticket events.

My MNSSHP tickets were automatically linked in my MDE as well, and I still got hard tickets in the mail.

I'm wondering about the FP+ as well. I was hoping to try for an A&E FP+ for my party day, since my DD will be dressed as Elsa. But I only have 5-day tickets, and this will be our 6th day. Does anyone know for sure what the rules are? If I can't use the party tickets to get FP+, I'll just add a day to my park tickets so I can make FP+ res for that day.

This is all too new to know, ya know?

I figured. I guess I should just suck it up and add a day to our tickets. I think an A&E FP+ is worth the $32 it will cost me.

My tickets are automatically linked on my MDE and when I go to the names they each have 2 tickets near their name one regular ticket and one for the MNSSHP. I will be bringing my hard ticket just in case

 

[Meriweather]

If they are linked, they would show up under "My Reservations & Tickets" in MDE.

It is there!!
And there is something there listed as inactive......is that the other one for DH??

Our tickets were automatically linked, but we will be using the hard tickets for entry.

Same with us I got the hard tickets ... In fact got them in the mail today

 

[amg35]

Ours linked automatically. Shows up as each of us has a 9 day hopper and each of us has a party ticket.

I did not request hard tickets, I just printed out the e-ticket online. It's just paper, I'll bring them anyways.

I'm not worried.

 

[Jennasis]

I'm not sure that's the case (although, anything is possible.)

It is. When I bought ours online it linked them automatically.

Mine automatically linked to MDE when I purchased my ticket. I also received the hard ticket in the mail today. I had signed into my account to make the purchase, so probably why it automatically linked.
