Happy Birthday!! Are you going to wear a birthday pin??

Yep, especially since I arrive on my actual birthday!! It's actually a joint birthday week, my DD turned 16 on the 6th. I would've preferred to be there for her birthday but wasn't able to get the week off of work.

Good for you!! You'll get all kinds of birthday wishes.

We stayed at POP for the first time in October and LOVED it. We booked the BB for next year! Now we have 314 more days. :-(.

I didn't see a bounceback....not like I could take advantage of it anyway. We're going 11/2015 the next time. I'm thinking AOA next time though.

All Hail Janet!

Amazing job once again. I've updated my subscriptions, so I'll try to post on this one. Others will migrate over eventually.

[marthachick]

Will someone checking in tomorrow or after please post about their check-in experience? I know they will only issue a KTTW card if requested, but I'm curious to see if the CM's are advising that the KTTW cards no longer pull FP's or if guests are just finding out when they try to use them.

I can't wait to see if they even inform me of this change when I check it. Im an ap holder too so those who wanted to know about pulling FP - with linked aps I'll be able to let know too. Here's hoping my 3 day weekend goes smoothly

We are here at Pop now and it is crowded. So surprised. Last night was crazy trying to get back from Magic Kingdom.

My BIL and his family checked in yesterday and were not told of the test when they asked if they could also get KTTWs as a backup. They were not able to pull paper FPs. I had told them this yesterday so they knew. They asked the CM standing at the FP machine why they couldn't get a FP and they said "you must be staying at Pop. They're the first resort to test FP+ only."

 

[EpcotBill]

I wonder if anyone is going to switch resorts because of the KTTW/no paper FastPass thing. I know I wouldn't be happy seeing other people using FastPass+ AND FastPass while I could only use my lousy 3 +'s per day.

I'm sure some people are. I'd been trying to get a prefered room under the fall discount for a month now and nothing was available. The day this information came out I went and checked again and prefered rooms were now available. So I was able to get the upgraded.
