OFFSITE Guests to Test Full MyMagic+ and FastPass+

[ckelly14]

The fact the Swan and Dolphin guests get bands and shades of green vets don't is down right pathetic. I am not a vet but come on Disney really? And I like the new system.

I agree that our vets deserve the best, but I haven't heard anywhere that S&D guests are getting magic bands...

I wish they would do the magic bands for the Shades of Green resort people. It's considered an on-site resort!

SoG has to pay to participate in EMH. They used to also participate in the complimentary parking perk, but discontinued it when they determined that more of their guests were riding buses.

I can't imagine how much WDW would want to charge to participate in FP+/MB/MDE...

I've never had to pay for EMH

Not the guests -- the RESORT pays WDW for the privilege of their guests participating in EMH. Army MWR pays, using money gleaned off your room rate, I suppose...

I have it on good authority that off-site guests may or may not be able to pre-book FP's.

Remember, you heard it here first.

Prebooking (although all FP/FP+ is pre-booked in some sense, but here I think you mean before the park-day the FP is to be used.)

I'm sure this why Disney has expanded "Check-in" to 60 days in advance.

There has been a rumor On-site guests will get to book FP+ 60-days in advance for Length of stay (or 10 days.) While Off-Site/Day guests can only book 60 days out.

Sound like anything else Disney does? Think ADRs. 180Days+10

Gives you an advantage over off-site guests on everyday but your "arrival" day.

Did I miss some announcement, or are AP holders not getting an offer of the magic bands at all?

AP holder WILL get MagicBands for free. There was a flyer sent to AP holders which I posted here that explains what is coming for AP holders soon:

A scan of the flyer is in the post.

Thinking this will be the thread of the week ???

Very interesting, and absolute crap that AGAIN, this is all kept behind the curtain and no doubt will be dropped on people unexpectedly, no idea what the real details about WHICH components they will be testing etc.

I fully understand its a completely private decision Disney gets to make as to how much they will reveal and when, but this is just more of the same terrible PR rollout .....

And for that reason, I feel EXACTLY like this:

I'm selfishly standing here thinking, "Rip the stinkin' bandaid off already and show us just how ugly it is!" ........ I need to know what Iger and Mickey have planned so we know what we are counting down the next 109 days to...

And by exactly, I mean exactly, we also arrive in 109 days

Yeah? Really? Where's your link?

What I find most fascinating about all of this is that they are starting non-wdw-resort guest testing but they still will not make this available to Passholders who have not had a resort stay. I just don't understand the complete disregard for Passholders in all of this

APs can't book same-day at the kiosks in AK? I thought they could.

Yes, they can.
Ditto at MK, starting today.

But, I don't think that poster donsullivan was talking about just being able to make "day-of" FP+.
