2013 Disney World

Wahoo! Looks like we’re part of the September 2013 MagicBand test!

Logged into Disney’s website today and noticed the site was finally switched over to the Disney My Experience site. Also noticed the “Customize your MagicBand” modal that popped up.

Super excited to be part of the test. I’m a little disappointed that according to Disney’s website they only ship MagicBands to the United States other countries will get their MagicBands when they check in to their resort. It would be fun to play with the MagicBands while at home but it’s not a big deal as we can’t really do anything with them until we get down there anyway.

Also setup FastPass+ for all our days. We were even to get 3 FastPass+ reservations for our evening at Hollywood Studios even though we won’t arrive until 7pm. We will actually get to go on Toy Story Mania that night! I was looking forward to booking Illuminations and Wishes with FastPass+ but it doesn’t look like it is being offered for our test.

So far I am pretty impressed with the system although the learning curve is pretty high. I’ve had to make all sorts of adjustments and tweaks to work around the bugs and inconsistencies with the new system. Still it’s cool technology and I love it.
