Any guests arriving November 1 to 30 receive FP+ testing invites?

[scrappinginontario]

So wait a minute I have been following for a while...are people arriving in November able to make fastpass + selections now...it still shows unavailable screen for me and I am checking in Nov 15th POR or are these people that already have magic bands from another trip

Our family of 6 are going for a quick 2 day trip Nov 13 and 14. 3 of us were at Disney in August and participated in the FP+ testing. I have been able to select FP+ options for the 3 of us. (There were many options available at MK and Epcot - not just a few.) To date I have not been able to customize bands or select FP+ options for the 3 people with us who do not already have bands. Hoping this option opens up to us and then I'll copy over the reservations from the 3 of us that already have them.

Something else that I found interesting was that I was able to go in and link our MVMCP reservation to our bands and then make FP+ selections betwee 4:00 when we arrive and 7:00 when the party starts. Not sure if this is because of the MVMCP link or because we have 2 day tickets outstanding on our bands?

. No we can't book regular fp+ yet, we can just book the Be Our Guest lunch fast passes

No, this is not correct for all. Please see my reply above. Our group of 3 family members were at Disney last month and part of the test group. I have been able to go in and make FP+ selections for Nov 11, 13 and 14. So....some people are able to make FP+ selections which makes me more hopeful that is will open to more people soon.

We're booked at CBR starting 11/12, and I just did our Be Our Guest FP+ for 11/15.

I can't make any FP+ selections on MDE, though.

So how did you book it???? I only know how to book on MDE.

Check out that thread in my earlier post. You need a confirmation number without letters, and there are a few ways to get, but I can't remember them all. One involves calling Disney, one involves entering the top number on your magical express luggage tag, one involves something on the magical express website. I'm sorry I can't help more right now, but this is a common problem with solutions.

O.K. I used my on night AoA Cars reservation number which got me in but I'm getting the Guest is already registered message. Guess I'm setting up an account for my husband. sigh.

Edited: I'm getting more frustrated by the minute!
I added an account for DH and get this when I try under his name: "Add a Celebration Tell us who in your party is celebrating something special"
but there is nothing below it.
I clicked done and now it gives me the error message again.
I went out and came back in, tried both of our names and get "guest is already registered" for both.
I do not yet have Magical Express tags. I think I have read the entire thread you mentioned looking for the magical express website tip any cannot find it. My eyes are starting to get foggy. Any chance you could direct me to it? I know this technically is not the correct thread, since there is one started for it, but I figured since it sounds like you can help, I'd ask you,trstno1.

We are arriving 10/31 to 11/10 and got our notice on DME about t2-3 weeks ago to customize the bands and do FP+. We have until 10/1 to change anything and then they are going to be shipped. Still can't do FP+ for the parades.

Regarding the BOG lunch reservations, I've found my confirmation number with no letters. But no what do I do with it? When I go to that BOG website and log in with my Disney/MDE account, I don't see any way of entering this new confirmation number.

Any help? I would love to try BOG on our upcoming November trip.

What happens when you have two separate reservations and try to make BOG FP+? I could only add people to the BOG FP+ From one room only

 

[mommy2mrb]

still no availability on our dates for BOG lunch, our first 7 days are showing up, lets me go through the whole process then shows" no availability choose another date"...does anyone know do you have to do on-line check in first? we are 63 days out.

TIA

Where is everyone entering their reservation #?

 

[KNovacovschi]

Use the tip above, it works! Check in. Then go back into "my reservations", and then "view details". When the pop up opens, hover your mouse over the "change check in" link. Look in the bottom left corner of the screen; you'll see a URL with your #.

I just checked this & under change check in there is no numerical confirmation number, just the regular one. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I figured out what I was doing wrong, I had actually clicked on and opened change check in instead of just hovering. I hovered and got the number. I booked BOG for Nov 18.

It's not a new confirmation number, it is actually in the url for the site. Like this...the last X's being numbers. : )

Yeah I figured out what I was doing wrong, I had actually clicked on and opened change check in instead of just hovering. I hovered and got the number. I booked BOG for Nov 18.

Now I did this with DH and he wanted me to choose the expedited to table option not the pre-order option, I'm a little scared about this and feel the pre-order would've been better. What has everyone else chosen? And if you pre-order how does it work if you are using dining plan, quick service meal, do you get the appetizer, entrée, drink and dessert or pick everything but the appetizer?

Oh, Yay! And I'm so jealous! But I'm glad it worked for you. I'm hoping for the 19th when I can finally get through all this mess. I'm just not sure what else I could try.

Thank you SO much for posting the information about how to find the number only reservation code in the URL. That worked for me and we have lunch reservations for November 17!!!! So excited!!!

(My husband was so concerned this morning! I refreshed this thread while still laying in bed and as soon as I saw someone post about BOG being open for reservations - I jumped out of the bed and RAN to the computer making super loud excited noises! He had no idea what was going on!)

Now to continue to twiddle my thumbs and wait for MagicBands and FP+ to open up for November....
