Is there any way to link reservations for BOG FP? My mom and I have separate reservation #s. Will we be able to sit together?
dumb question but i cant find this clearly explained.
i am booking my 3 FP+ rides, but does that mean i cannot get anymore?
for example, while at the park, can i walk up and fast passs something else?
or it seems like even though i have park hoppers, i cant seem to spread the fastpasses across the two parks.
am i missing something?
13 fast passes sounds more like a miracle than an issue
We arrive 11/11 at BWV and I can't customize magic bands or make FP+ choices?
I have read some people say not to do online check in and other say to do so. I haven't done it yet. Might I have success with customizing MB and FP+ if I do online check in?
Also, when I go to make FP+ selections it says "The selected date must be within at least one party member's FP+ selection window" ???
Thanks for any help you can give.
I noticed that the people who said they could get FPs near an ADR time seemed to be all talking about breakfasts and lunches. Like one of the previous posters I was not able to get a fast pass within two hours after my dinner ADR (no problem with before the ADR though even if it overlapped a bit). I took one of my party off my dinner reservation (and put in a temp dummy name) and then tried to get a FP just for that person an hour after the meal. I was indeed able to get a FP within an hour once he was removed from the reservation. Once I added him back I was not able to get that time slot. So, I took him off, changed his FP time to the one I wanted, then copied his time to the rest of us and then added him back to the ADR. Complicated, but it worked without having to give up the ADR. We now all have a 5-6 slot despite having a reservation at 4:05.
Today when I logged into My Disney Experience, a pop up menu appeared that stated to either "Customize Magic Bands," or "Make FP+ Selections." I opted to do the FP+ first, then when I went in to do the Magic Bands, I was no longer able to access it. I called Disney and they said that I would be receiving an email within the week to do so, but that I needed to wait for the email. He stated the pop up wouldn't have let me get to the end anyway, that it was a glitch in the system.
He did inform me that ALL of the Disney resorts will be rolling out Magic Bands for November guests.
I was receiving the message that you are receiving 3 days ago and all of a sudden I was able to get in and we are going to BWV on the 8th of November. Hang in there and check everyday.
it does and thanks for the fast reply.
so the old fast pass system (FP-) is still in effect for month of Nov.,
but how do i get the wristband in that machine?
or do we get the room key cards along with the magic bands?
i am missing the old system
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! I am feeling so happy for everyone else who is having luck but a bit down I can't join in on the fun. Hopefully tomorrow it will work.
BTW, did you do online check-in?
I am checking in at this time too (Nov 11-17), but have not been able to do anything with magic bands on MDE--I also have not been told that I am in the test. Did you just click on the magic bands in MDE and it just show up? I have my reservations linked and was able to make FP+ selections tonight--that is for all days except Sat Nov 16--for some reason it will not allow me to select that date. Anyone else had this happen? Should I just keep checking back to see if that day opens up? Seems weird it would let me pick them for all the other days, including Nov 17.
I keep getting prompted to customize my Magic Band for November when I already have one with my AP on it from last week's trip. I thought AP holders just got one and that was it.
Well, then, I'll have quite a pretty little collection given they also sent us two per person for this past trip!Right now, MBs are assigned by reservation, not by person or AP. This is expected to change. Sometime.
The benefit is the same as with a ride, you get to skip the line. Meet & Greets (especially those for the princesses) can have really long lines. As for the shows, at Fantasmic! they have a special section for FP+ holders. For the parades, Wishes and Illuminations they have special sections roped off for FP+ holders. The other benefit is you don't have to stake out your spot super early.
Thanks for your response!! Is the FP+ Fantasmic Seating the same as the meal seating? Do u recommend getting fast passes for meet & greets, parades & fireworks over rides?
