The March 2014 Thread!!!!

Okay, what is a magic flash drive? Just saw a friend on FB post hers (she is going the same week I am).

I received my Magic+ Flash drive in the mail yesterday, it was a total surprise and completely unnecessary IMO. I thought maybe because I had not purchased park tickets yet, they were trying to educate me on new magic - magic bands and FastPass+. It's was an Incredibles box with a Mickey flash drive that had a link to a video with information on what to expect of new features. Luckily, our trip isn't a surprise since it was very obvious a disney package as soon as my daughter saw it. In unrelated news...I recently lost a flash drive and needed a new one, so thanks disney!

Got a totally over the top mailing today from Disney. Consisted of a box with flash drive and lots of personalized marketing stuff, encouraging me to register my magic bands and explaining the new fast pass, photo pass system. I haven't gotten a chance to thoroughly look over it, but it definitely got my attention when it showed up in the mailbox. Looks like Disney is really putting their all into winning us over and indoctrinating us to the changes. Hey I'm more than happy to give it a try.

Got my flash drive today. Not a whole lot that we already didn't know.

Okay - so it's not really anything I need, then? Thanks! But I guess I should expect one soon?

Nope, ours was waiting for us at the resort in OCT. I assume we won't get the flash drive.... Ah well.

This is the Magic Flash Drive how it was delivered. My DD said, "Oh, mommy what is dis?"

Inside was a personalized planning guide with the flash drive. It was fun! I see it has a link at the bottom showing where you can access the same information online. Check it out a you'll see its stuff we already know. disneyworld.com/incredible

Ooh, so I can use it for other things as well!? Yay!

In other news, I'm upset that I haven't gotten mine yet!!! Not that I need the info, but I think my girls would totally enjoy it and it would be fun to incorporate with our Elf on the Shelf!

Just booked a bb offer today for March! We are staying at Pop March 7th-16th.

We got the MyMagic mailing today, which was quite a surprise. We were in WDW the first week of December and already have MagicBands from that trip. But it was fun to open the package and put the flash drive the computer. The Mickey head turns green when it is put into the computer, just like the Mickey head turns green when the MagicBand connects to one of those sensors.

We are 93 days away.

Frustrated...got our park tickets in the mail this week, attempted to link to MDE in hopes of reducing any problems with magic band/FastPass+ and having issues. Ugh! My DH tickets didn't link and now won't link. Placed call to WDW on Wednesday night and was told the department I needed wasn't open but request would be forwarded and worked on. Still have about 40 days (I'm guessing) until we can make FP+ selections. Fingers crossed they get it worked out before then!

Good idea...I'll give it a try. Still no word and still not linked otherwise.
