Planning for a group...please help this newbie

[IllumiGem]

I was just wondering if anybody else has had problems with the Magical Gatherings Planner? I downloaded it twice, typed in my correct username and password...yet nothing happens

I have 9 days to plan for my group...it would be so great if the darn planner would work!

We gave up on it for our Oct trip. DW and I both had logins and it was behaving rather strangely... Even if I logged in, it might think I was DW or it would ask me to log in repeatedly. Then, it wasn't really a hit with the rest of our family, so I just posted my own web page. At that time it might have still been a "beta" product.

If you have any questions, PM me.

I had the same problem. I have went to planning on paper. I've been researching and reading and gathering stuff on my computer to print out when we go.

I too tried to use it w/no luck. My other suggestion is to use the itinerary program on waltdisneyworld.com. It came in handy for me and you can go back and check it as often as you like. It kept me on track for our last trip....hope this helps.

I have done several large group trips and have planned out on paper or my own computer spreadsheet. Right now I am planning a group trip in July and the members who are going and I have all created a yahoo group so that we can coordinate things.

We haven't used this feature but my husband's annual passholder log-in name got messed up. They had his middle name as his first name - we don't even remember giving them his middle name - and his first name as his last name. We only caught the problem because his passholders' "Micky Monitor" came addressed that way. We were able to fix it w/ one phone call.

If you are planning for a group, send a personal message to my husband (or through my user ID). I believe his user ID is ChairbornRangr. He did a fantastic job of coordinating our extended family trip (about 35 people) 2 yrs. ago and a trip of friends (about 45 people) this summer. He loves helping people with these things and gets phone calls "You don't know me but Dave said I absolutely have to talk to you about our Disneyworld trip." I don't know where you are staying but he put together the All Star Movies FAQ tread on the resorts forum.

Hope this helps.
