I'm not even an AP (wish I was) but I'm just glad everything is almost fully rolled out for MyMagic+Not enough likes to click on to show how happy I am about this!
In November, I only got one magicband for my ap and room. I also had two people with regular tickets on my account. I ordered their bands on my account. Made things so much easier.I just bought an AP over the phone last night so I can link it to my account for my trip in May. I am waiting 24 hours to try to link it again as I am unable to get it to work.
Anyways I am staying on property. Will I be getting two magic bands? I don't want two. My question is will my room and AP be able to be linked onto 1 magic band? I have been having issues with APs and this whole new system since spring of last year. My AP # does not seem to want to be linked to my account. I get to select FP+ selections starting on March 13. I did not order any magic bands yet as I am waiting for the ticket to come in the mail for the other person traveling with me as we bought it from AAA. I would like to customize both of our bands but I'm not sure if I have to wait until my tickets are linked and since 1 of us has an AP does this complicate things (meaning I will be getting two of them).
We must be going at the same time as I can also make my fastpass choices on March 13th.
Any help would be appreciated!
You will likely get two bands, but they may be used interchangeably. Just pick one color when you order the one you receive for being an AP, and another for the one you get with your reservation - then you can pick your favorite day by day! What's pretty cool about MyMagic+ and My Disney Experience is that as long as your Annual Pass is in your account, you can use it on any Magic Band or Card on your account - same with opening your room, making purchases, PhotoPass, and everything else. It is no longer a "this card goes with this" experience, it truly is one device for everything (when everything is linked to your account, of course). If you have trouble linking your AP, call Disney's tech support number (407-939-4357) and they will gladly help you, and answer any questions you may have.I just bought an AP over the phone last night so I can link it to my account for my trip in May.

As a passholder, (and just there for single days off and on, not staying in hotels) I dont want the bands, but just want to use the rfid card??

You'll probably get the bands anyhow, but the RFID cards work the same as the bands.
I think the only difference between the bands and RFID tickets really impacts resort guests who are able to use the bands to pay for things and to use as a room key. As far as I know those are the only things you can't use your ticket/card for.

I sure hope this is true!!!! We were at Magic Kingdom yesterday and were even less impressed with this visit than ever---we have used the FastPass+ system several times before as annual passholders. The FastPass+ Kiosk lines were awful yesterday. I spoke to a Cast Member working at one of the kiosks who told me that she had no idea when annual passholders would be getting access to MyMagic+ because they were still "testing". She stated that Cast Members don't even have access to it yet. She was trying to sell me on the idea of the new FastPass+ system saying that I needed to give them time to work out the bugs since they were still testing. Nothing like testing in production. Seems like a big Fail to me, but hopefully I'll like it more when we can reserve ride times in advance.
My other concern is that I have a resort stay booked for the end of May. Currently, when I log in to MDE, it tells me I will be able to start making FP+ selections on March 25th, which is 60 days prior to my resort stay. It also gives me the option to personalize our Magic Bands for this stay. I'm hoping that I'll still be part of the "annual passholder rollout" in the next couple of weeks if that is truly the case.
