Received MyMagic+ Flash drive in the mail.

Can you store stuff on it too or is it just WDW info for you?

It says 3.74 GB of space available? My DD was just looking for a flash drive for school but couldn't find hers, she had to use a disc. So if you can store on it that would be great.

 

[bksomody]

Huh, that's neat. I'd probably ignore all the promotional stuff and format the drive. Do you know how much space is on it?

It says 3.74 GB of space available.

Ya, I was thinking about that when I opened the file. But if you can't trust Disney who can you trust?

You can trust Disney, but you can't necessarily trust the Chinese (insert other foreign country of your choice) company that loaded the flash drive. Flash drives are notorious for harboring nasty computer bugs, that's why many companies and the government have policies forbidding their use.

 

[bksomody]

Well, Disney does have to train guests to plan in advance. Homework is to be expected.

For all the homework I've put into this trip I should get bonus points.

 

[SoarinSC]

SO COOL! Have a 100+ plays before our MBs roll out...hope they keep doing this!

 

[kiramay]

That is super cute!

Looks like this new Incredibles themed welcome brochure is going to replace the Toy Story themed "Your Story" welcome brochure that has been used for the past couple of years.

Just received Mickey Mail with the cutest Mickey Head flash drive in the mail today. It came with a personalized 30 page booklet explaining MagicBands & FP+. It has my reservation # on it and info about the resort I'm staying at. When you plug it into the computer the head lights up and it takes you to the Disney website and a MM+ Training Video pops up.

We actually have 2 reservation #'s because we added a day. The first reservation, 12/30-1/7, we received a letter inviting us to test MM+. This mailing only has the 2nd reservation #, so I'm thinking this might be the time that testing is over and a full roll out will be in effect. I read that regular FP will end on 1/5 so maybe this is how they will advertise to people about MM+.

I haven't read anything about this so I was wondering if any others have received this?

I think this answers the question as to how is Disney going to get those that aren't big planners to get on board with pre-booking FP+s. The pop this on their computer, it takes them to Disney's site, pick the ones Disney suggest and just like that, you have your 3 FP+. Hardly any work at all!

correcting...that has been used for SOME people with some reservations for awhile. Definitely not everyone. We have not gotten one at all, even though we always have rather split stays (lots of reservation numbers to trigger something being sent).

You read that in the literature you received today? Any chance you could upload a picture of that part? That is the first I've heard of anything straight from Disney about an end date to legacy FP.

That info was NOT in the brochure. I read it here.

Gotcha!

 

[HeatherLassell]

I'm interested to see if any CANADIANs receive this. I'm betting we won't since we can't even get our Magic Bands to our houses (have to pick up at the resort) as much as that sucks.

I want a cute flash drive!

I agree. My mother and I were talking about all the changes and what the testing covers and she said "Sounds great but what if people like me want to go. How will we figure it out?"

For the record she's a fairly advanced smart phone user so I'm pretty sure she'd have no problem. But this answers that!

I also think that a good portion of bad experiences have been lack of customer training and even CM training. This is also based on my experience with cell phone testing but user testing is user testing.

Hmm, so it seems we are moving on to phase 2 early January.......

Oooooooh! I hope you're right. We arrive Jan 9th and I just checked: my email has the same wording

That's what I was thinking since I was invited to test for the beginning of my trip but got this for my second reservation.

I didn't get an email but I don't think my reservation is attached to my email.

I want one! Hope I get one for my Feb. trip.
