Just got back from visiting the World for 8 days. Wanted to give some of my thoughts regarding MM+
- I did like having the ability to select FP ahead of time before our trip. This saved me a whole lot of walking getting a FP for one ride on one end of a park and then run to the other to get in line (i.e.: TT and Soarin').
- It was not that easy to get the specific times I wanted for my FP selections. MDX gave me some generic times for what I wanted for option A, B and C. Even when I went with the "best option" it still told me that one or two out of my party of five had a conflict (something to do with no time available for that FP). All I did was hit the back button and selected it again until I got everyone selected.
- It was tedious to change the times. We prefer going to the parks in the morning and leaving by 1pm to enjoy our resort, go to the pool, take a nap, and get ready for our ADR. We were able to re-arrange our FP times to go at 9am, 10am and 11am for each day. It did take some time since they all had to be individually done.
- MDX does provide a good amount of information, but it still needs work on speed and stability. Encountered a number of "our server is busy" messages with Donald appearing.
- The mobile app was slow to update too. Took some time to get updated wait times. I wish the mobile app would provide alerts saying what FP is ready to use or a reminder about your dining reservation.
- The magic bands seemed to work fine. Main problems were trying to make direct contact with the room key pad, QSR pad, etc. Sometimes took 10 seconds to make exact contact. Having it on the wrist like a watch can be a bit awkward.
- We were given the old card keys as backup. Did not have to use them.
- We had to replace one person's magic band. The little nibs that keep the bracelet on broke off. The new one seemed to work fine.
- I think the lines entering the park went through slightly faster than the old ticket/turnstile system. It was nice that we could push our wheel chair through any line. It is difficult when you have a wheel chair and a stroller side by side though (meaning I enter on the left side while the stroller is on the right).
- The wi-fi in the park is still iffy. A few of the sit down restaurants said they had wi-fi connectivity issues when they scanned our magic bands for our dining plan. Said that Disney is still working out the kinks in their system.
