On Monday (right at 60 days out), I did online check-in for Beach Club on Nov 1. MDE is all set up with linked travel party, tickets and ADRs. I don't have FP+ or Magic Band options in MDE yet. Beach Club is in the current test but, of course, Nov 1 is the first day outside the current test...

That makes a lot of sense, Rob. One thing seems certain is that the coding of the system would be flexible. If they want to add features, just write new code to do it. That's one of the reasons I'm not wringing my hands about things I dislike about the current form of FP+ as we know...

Hadn't seen that one before. I guess it makes sense that would be available right away. Thanks for the info.

The grand plan is for the FP stations specific to rides to go away. There will be FP+ kiosks in the parks that you'll be able to access with your disney.com account to make and change FP+ reservations. But the process of going to a ride to get a FP with your park admission media is going away...

If this latest round of testing is really just a soft roll out to be expanded until all resorts and day guests are covered in MM+/FP+ (as has been widely speculated), Disney has not yet turned things on past the current end date of October 31 for this round of testing, even for the resorts...

At the end of the day, my preferred "lounge" is the patio of our room. For a mid-afternoon break, give me a pool lounge. Any pool lounge. But if I had to pick one, it would be Trout Pass at WL.

On the speculation that Nov 1 is the unofficial "go live" date. That is our check-in day, 63 days from now. We're staying at Beach Club, which is included in the latest testing. So whether they just continue on with the current test resorts or expand to additional resorts, I should be...

Where in My Disney Experience did you do this? I've been checking the "Magic Bands and Cards" link under MDE. I presume that is where I would be given the option if/when it becomes available. I'm at 65 days. That is actually November and outside the "official" test window. But I'm kind of...

With the ever expanding scope of the test/limited rollout, I think some people are in a window where MK is having MSSHP. Is FP+ available for those nights at the MK?

I don't think Cars is a terrible franchise but I don't get why they would want to duplicate it in Orlando. There is so much other material they could use in the Disney Universe, particularly stuff that fits in Hollywood Studios. Why not leave a unique reason to visit DCA and then make a new...

I'm a fan of Disney resorts that offers boat transportation. So of the two, I'd prefer French Quarter. Since you specifically mention that you enjoyed Victoria Falls, I would say that CSR definitely has better onsite bars and lounges. But you're just a boat ride away from plenty of...

Breaking news from 1971...Disney onsite rooms are priced at a premium level that some think is worth it and some think is not worth it. It is a very important topic worthy of hijacking a thread about a controversial major change currently being tested and implemented at WDW. 'Ya gotta luv...

Hmm, Sarah and I check in to Beach Club on 11-1. We slide over to Riverside on 11-9 for 2 nights. Both resorts are included but it is outside the October window. I've been watching the whole MM+ saga all year, figuring it would be implemented by that time. As we get closer, it becomes more...

I'm really surprised they didn't start (and finish) at least one parking garage before doing anything else. Parking has always been the big complaint for DD.

My understanding of the contract is that it only applies to theme parks. As such, I fully expect a large Marvel retail store in the new Disney Springs. That's not based on any inside info or rumor, just going by what I've read of the contract online and what I'd do assuming those details are...

Mine wasn't a Premium AP but I had a similar experience with my WDW Parks-Only AP. My next trip allows me to attend the last MNSSHP and first MVMVP. We decided to do both. I linked up both sets of extra event tickets and both APs for Mrs. Wiggum and I onto my Disney account. Everything was...

I'm don't think there is any hidden meaning to the one park per day limitation in the current system. It seems more likely to me that limitation is just misreading how customers would use FP+ or trying to get the basic system running and proven before expanding it to multiple parks per day...

I don't know exactly how early they start but I believe everything is done by Thanksgiving Day. I know it is true of the parks that all Holiday programs start by at least Black Friday. My guess is they will transform a 2-3 resorts per night with a target of finishing by Thanksgiving. If that...

Another thing that would be easy to do within the framework of the MM+ system as we "know it" now...for those that have done online check-in, got Magic Bands and drive to the resort...No visit to the front desk. You pick up your resort welcome packet at the guard shack and get a text on your...

If FP+ implementation is poorly received, as suggested earlier, I would think WDW would seek to address some of the complaints. It seems unlikely they would just write off the investment and abandon the project. There is little chance they won't understand that everything is not hunky dory...
