APs and the NextGen questions

[sublimesting]

Hi guys,

So we leave in 5 weeks for Disney and will be buying APs when we get there but I have some questions:

Do we get a Magic Band with APs purchased in park?
Also, how does Fast Pass work these days? When we arrive for our 2 week trip on September 25th will we still be using FP the way we are accustomed too or are they reserving rides the new way yet?

Not necessarily. I purchased my APs a few weeks back and picked them up at Will Call last week. I didn't get anything. Right now it's in the testing stages. If you get picked you'll get them. There were people with them when I was there last week. A cast member told me it's still in testing and it's expected to roll out for everyone in October.

Everything will more than likely be as you remembered it. The current thinking is that My Magic + will not go gold until sometime in 2014.

I would stick with a piece if paper to say instead of going with the bands right away.
