they will alert you (on the app) when it's ready, so no need to wait at the counter. There is a separate line for those with these types of orders

no, I know that - I meant when you go to tell them to start prepping the order will they let you know that it will take 5 minutes or 15 minutes or 30 mins or whatever? this way I can monitor that and then when I know I am like 15 minutes away I can let them know to start (or whatever)

oh gotcha. They won't say, I don't think. But it should be the same time it would take if you were placing your order at the counter, plus maybe a couple of minutes? In the meantime you can just sit

yeah, or with it being in Pandora even just walk around exploring and stuff .... just wondering - more for if it could take a while it would be nice to know in advance and you could have it started earlier than you would actually want it rather than wait until you are ready only to find they are super busy and it is an hour wait

I just got the DVC confirmation e-mail, however nothing is showing up in the MDE app. Anyone else experience this?

I had the opposite: the entry showed up in MDE before I got the email. I have both now, so hopefully you will as well soon.

 

[4HOLIDAYS]

I got my mde fp, but still no email. I am tomorrow at 9am,so now i am getting nervous.
I thought being tomorrow i would see it before others who have later dates.

This may have already been talked about previously, but if I were to go the EMH the morning of the 27th, how early would I need to arrive? Would I be able to experience both rides before it gets busier when the park officially opens? Thanks!

I think the best part of this new system is that I'll be able to order multiple desserts without people overhearing me and staring at me while I wait. This way I can just walk up and walk away and hide in a corner while DS tries to find me as I eat HIS dessert...

There was a thread made. Majority of people said they plan to arrive around 5-6am, with a few saying 4am.

Edit: here's the thread https://www.disboards.com/threads/those-going-to-pandora-opening-how-early.3600442/

I was the bling with the system I can order a beer and a kids meal and not get weird looks

Actually, that makes me wonder - can you order alcohol via the app?

For all of the AP preview people, did your entire party receive a fast pass or only one person? We registered two and received a confirmation with both of our names listed. However MDE shows one FP that says one guest. After an hour and a half with multiple CMs I have multiple answers on whether or not this will suffice. So does yours list the correct number of guests or are the FPs even listed individually? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I love this! I use it at Chipotle and Panera all the time. It saves me so much time during the work week during rushes. I always wonder why people stand on the long line when you can order from your phone and the kitchen gets it going.

Not that this applies to Chipotle, Panera, etc., but for Disney, I'm sure a number of guests (myself included) want to use Disney GCs (purchased at a discount or other money-saving way) to pay. Hopefully the app will evolve to where you can load a gift card just like other restaurants.

no, I know that - I meant when you go to tell them to start prepping the order will they let you know that it will take 5 minutes or 15 minutes or 30 mins or whatever? this way I can monitor that and then when I know I am like 15 minutes away I can let them know to start (or whatever)

I think I recall that you have to tap an "I'm here" button. If it like Chick-fil-a's app, you have to be within a certain proximity to the store. But, considering the size of Pandora, that may not be feasible. Will definitely be interesting to see how it all works. And, I'm curious about the alcohol AND also discounts.

I'm in the same boat, email came 4:15 today and still not showing up in MDE.

I was worried about this and called. I was told they are still loading the fastpasses into MDE and if I didn't see it tomorrow afternoon to call back. I am hoping there wasn't some criteria I didn't meet. As far as I understood I just needed a DVC room reservation during the same day I am attending, and have a membership purchased directly from Disney or resale prior to 04/16. I have both those things so hopefully I am OK. Still I never got the original invitation to sign up, I only saw it because I was following this thread.

All 3 in mine are showing each having a "fast pass"

About to board our plane and head down to Coronado Springs for Pandora preview!!!!! Our room has been ready all day just sitting there.

 

[Lesley Wake]

I think I asked at check in and they said there was a 20 fee and it had to be done at GR so since I have mine we just never did it. A lot of places online also say it is $20.

Don't know how it is at WDW, but at Disneyland, you get one free replacement. After that it is $20 each time you lose it. You can get out of paying that fee if the card is damaged and you bring it back, or if your wallet was stolen and you bring the police report!

We have a spot for 3 AP holders and our FP is for all 3 of us

We received one confirmation for two people. Each of us have our own MDE accounts and we each have a fastpass.
