MyMagic+/FASTPASS+ How it Works, Attractions and Experiences

[devores 382]

We were told that you will get an "E" mail verifying shipping, but also they usually arrive before that "E" mail..??

Im on my third magic band shipment now and every time, I get the e-mail after I have the bands in my hands. If they do not arrive before you leave, they will ship them to your resort and you will get them when you check in. If you did not customize before you leave, you get the standard grey bands with no name on them.

That's the spirit, be mellow and go with the flow.

Magic bands don't allow one to go with the flow.  They are the ultimate "spreadsheet".   

 

:raspberry:

 I received an e-mail with a tracking number.  The e-mail arrived 3-4 days before the bands did.  The EM arrived as soon as the bands shipped out of Memphis.

[Judy in Texas 150]

The email with the tracking number came the same day my band arrived.

When I ordered my band on MDE, it said that day was the last day I could order a customized band. That was this last Tuesday or Wednesday. The email with the tracking number as well as the band arrived Friday. Today (Saturday) I received two invitations from Disney to test a magic band - one invite was an email and the other arrived in the mail. They both say I have until 10/29 to order my customized band.

They are still working out the bugs.

Shawn just told me last night, that even though we are open for testing for FB yet, if you walk up to the kiosk in the MK it will give you suggestions for FB on your bands.  He didn't actually try to get any using them last night.... I will have to check it out myself.

[Okieatheart 33]

Thank you so much, devores and Rita, for your suggestions and help in getting my vouchers into MDE.  I followed your instructions and just sailed through the ticket linking process.  I've chosen our party's fast passes, and now all I need to do is get to the parks!  Again, thank you so much!  And, Rita, I agree!  Those O's and zeroes kept me from linking the vouchers earlier.  When I finally figured that out, the process was seamless.  

[PureTcrazy...rita 380]

Awesome!! I'm glad you got them linked and your FP's done!

[Jennifer41 19]

HALP!  

 

Apparently I have my magic bands available now because I was just able to make FP+ picks... but I don't see any magic bands to customize on MDE. What the FORT??

[Jennifer41 19]

It tells me to customize- but then there's no bands to customize! I'm so confused!

[Katman1356...Jason 1,140]

When do you check in? You may have missed the customize window

[Jennifer41 19]

I have 60 days till check in

[Jennifer41 19]

Also, what happens if you don't show up for your fp+ time?

[Katman1356...Jason 1,140]

If you dont show up for your fp+ in your window and dont change it beforehand you lose it. as far as i know

 

You should be early enough to customize. If the option isnt there tomorrow maybe give them a call. I believe 60 is the magic number of days for this.

As long as the FP+ was not used or tried to be used, you can change the time. Even after the window has passed.

 

So if you miss your FP+ time, Log into the app and change the time to a later time. But if you missed your time and tried to redeem it, youre SOL. It counts it as used and you can no longer change it.

excellent! I had not heard that yet. Thanks Dave!

[devores 382]

Of course, that doesn't mean you will get what you want. You may have to change the FP+ to another attraction all together. Depends on what is still available when you go to change it.  

[AC in A2......Aaron 693]

Ok.

I need help.

Please simplify this FP+ and magic band crap for me.

I noticed FP+ was now an option on the MDE app on my phone, so i went in and tried to make FP+ picks for my trip in December and it worked. I was able to make picks for 12-6 thru 12-15.

i have paper APs. Will they send me magic bands or will i get those or RFID cards when i arrive?

Also, things like special viewing areas for Wishes, parades, etc were not options; not that i would have used my picks for those anyway.

If i have these picks, i cannot use regular fastpass, right?

Can someone opt out of FP+ and use regular FP instead if they wanted to?

I am sure these things have been answered somewhere before but there are so many threads an info out there, i cant possibly sift through it all.

Please help fiends!

If you already have an MDE account with your tickets linked, and evidently you do, then you need to go to MDE and customize your magic bands.

 

I'm not sure about opting out etc.

No matter what you have to turn in your paper tickets to get the RFID tags.  They no longer can scan to old tickets at park entry.  Right now you can still use you new RFID tickets to get regular FP as well as FP+.  At some point Disney will stop that.  Once the system goes on full time you will have to use FP+ there will be no way to get the old FPs. The MB right now are still on trial.  You have to be selected to participate in the test.  But your RFID ticket will do everything the MB will do. You just can't wear it.

Thanks to you and Rita.

If i have been allowed to sign up for FP+ attractions on MDE, does that mean i have been selected to participate in a test?

[Judy in Texas 150]

Thanks for the directions about linking paper vouchers to magic bands. I have my military and Very Merry Christmas Party vouchers linked. Does anyone know if I still have to present the vouchers at WDW to activate them or is linking them good enough?

[PureTcrazy...rita 380]

I don't know, but it sure would be awesome if it were enough. I have a feeling though that we will still have to present the vouchers because they are FL resident tickets and we have to show ID. I would think the same would be the case for the Military tickets.

[PureTcrazy...rita 380]

Or maybe just our band and then show ID at the gate? Wow, that would be a timesaver!

[Brent... Just Brent 83]

Thanks to you and Rita.

No is the short answer. The two things are not dependent on each other.

[BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023]

Just fyi but you can still get into the parks with paper APs, they will call someone over at the turnstiles to scan them and you will need a photo ID.

We finally converted ours to the new cards yesterday but got into the parks 3 times in the prior few days with the old paper ones. (didn't try using them for any FPs)
