Magic Bands in November

FYI.. Heard from someone who heard from a Bus driver something interesting.. If you are in the park after the start of a special event such as MNNSHP, and are wearing your magic band without having an event ticket linked to your MDE, security will find you and escort you out!! If you try to hide the band will zap you! LOL ;)

Anyone else not able to make Fastpass + reservations? We will be there 11/8-11/15, I made the color selections for our magic bands, but when I go to the fastpass+ I get the error "We're Sorry! The selected date must be within at least one party member's FastPass+ selection window." the kicker is that I can only press ok, it doesn't let me switch dates or anything. Our reservation is a package and includes tickets, so I guess this may be some sort of glitch, or maybe I just have no clue what I am doing.

Go to your friends and family section and check and make sure each person has a room ressie and a ticket and a magic band listed under his/her name for the correct dates.

I am curious if November is another test or a complete roll out. I am thinking it is the complete roll out bacause we are staying at Wilderness Lodge 11/22/-11/29 and I do not recall seeing wildernesss lodge in any of the tests.

I'm staying at OKW the end of Oct and last week got a letter asking me if I wanted to participate in the Magicband test run. I signed up online with the reservation number from the letter and a few days later my band arrived, it is super cool! I hope you get the chance to give it a try, I can't wait for my trip to use it. You're able to make all dining reservations and 3 fastpass time/day choices per park per day online.

I did all of our FP+ selections for our trip Nov 6-12th on Tuesday night and yesterday we were able to Personalize our MagicBands!!! I was so excited! Looks like they did a full roll out of November guests because people who are going all throughout the month have been able to do both!

I am assuming it's not a full complete roll out and just for those staying on site at the time being.

If anyone is having problems doing either FP+ selections or magic bands, I highly suggest redoing your online check in. That seems to work for most of the people that have been having trouble doing both.

For us, it let me do FP selections, but didn't let me do bands until I redid the online check in...

Ok, so I figured out my issue, I guess since we are going for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon and we purchased our package through RunDisney. I guess you don't get your tickets until you actually show up at your resort if booked that way, so I can't make any reservations until I am actually on-site. Oh well, one less thing to obsess over :)

Any Canadians here? Do you get your mb's shipped to you, or do you pick them up at the hotel? I know some international visitors pick them up, but didn't think that included Canadians. When I was customizing my mb's it asked for the shipping it let me choose Canada. And says for me to make sure I include them in my carry on so i'll have them when I arrive.

I'm concerned since I have a split stay starting 11/30 with the 2nd half starting 12/1 if the system will even let me make FP+ selections for the 2nd half. I guess they would need to open up December for that to happen. Which I'm guessing would be in about a month like the rest have been. There is no reference to my 2nd half resort like others have mentioned. Do yours show up as a separate line order?

I would look into trying different internet servers because when I finally got on last night it said I only had 26 days left to customize my bands. I would have been upset if I missed my opportunity. I think they are still working out kinks on the system because when I did my fast passes some of the days were hanging and I had to refresh a few times. Also one day it looked like I could customize my bands and then the pop up disappeared but a day later I was able to on firefox. Good luck.

We're arriving CSR on 11/29 and I was just able to customise our Magic Bands. Fast Pass+ was still too far out to make them. But it was exciting to be able to order the bands. Can't wait.:happy:

We leave in 56 days, staying at the POP, how do you reserve fastpasses? i have My Disney Exp and cant figure it out!!!!!

Don't do it on the app, you need to go online! Make sure u have done online check in. You should be able to access both under make FP selections and manage band tabs. If for some reason it won't let you, try redoing your online check in and they should both be able to work...

How long after you customize the bands do they ship them out? Mine has a deadline of oct 8, and we leave just under a month later, in early November. I've customized already. They will get here in plenty of time though right? I'm assuming that they will come ups like the magic express stuff?

I believe they are a 2-3 day shipping, I haven't gotten ours yet, but I think I remember reading that on here somehwere. I also have noticed everyone's deadlines being different, I believe they r shipping these out at 30 days to go. Everyone's customization deadline had been different. When I wa finally able to do ours this past Tuesday, I ha a deadline of 18 days. We r going Nov 12-17.

I think they are only shipping in the USA. I'm from canada, I entered my address too but I think we will have to pick our MB at the resort.
