Grrrrr!!! I still can't get past the Id & password page!!
I get a message that says to "stop by the Magic Kingdom® Service Center as soon as you arrive to the park for assistance logging in to the website or selecting an arrival window and pre-ordering your meal" This is so weird because for our Dec trip, I was able to get in and up to the selecting dates page, but it was too early for our dates to be loaded in yet. Then suddenly one day when I went into check if they were there yet, I was stopped at sign-in with this message and haven't been able to get past it since. Thinking it might be a glitch with my acct, and seeing the information here that guests would be able to use the lunch FP+ without and invitation, I called IT to ask them to check my acct. I was told somewhat sternly by the CM that lunch FP's were still invitation-only, and the link wasn't supposed to work unless I had one (though we know it does, evidenced by many reports here). He wouldn't do or say anything else except that until Disney announces that it is open to all guests, there is nothing I can do.
He also said that some guests who think they have a reservation may get there and find they don't - so making a screen copy is a very good idea, though I don't remember reading where anyone had that problem, and I think he was just trying to discourage me from trying anymore. I told him that my sister had set up her MDX acct recently and was able to get into the BOG lunch FP site with no problem - without an invitation. I could hear his disapproval over the phone. He was not mean or ugly to me, just stern. I hope either they open it up to all guests by June, or that my sister can get a FP and is able to add me, too - at this point, even though we are "friends/family" with each other on MDX, she says it looks like she can only make a BOG FP for the 2 people on her reservation (I have a separate room, and so a separate reservation).
Off my soapbox....sorry for the rant. It's just frustrating
but we'll work it out. Congratulations to all those who have been able to get FP's, I hope you enjoy!!
