***** Official * July 2017 * thread! *****

So excited to see this page ! We are going June 28 to July 9th SSR ! 1st time for 4th of july ! Does anyone have any tips for the fireworks ?
We plan on doing MK fireworks on july 3rd where is a good spot to watch ? Has anyone seen epcots 4th fireworks, we just thought it would be nice seeing the voices of liberty on the 4th too
This will be our first time for 4th of July, too. We watched the new HEA fireworks at Magic Kingdom, (Happily Ever After) last month and sat at the back of the Hub on the Casey's side. I think we are going to try that again, or, maybe just stand back by the train depot for a quick exit on July 3rd. Then we will be at Epcot for 4th of July. I hope the crowds aren't too terrible.

Thanks ! I hope its not too crazy. My thoughts are it will be, but in epcot the people can spread out more
 
I haven't heard a thing about my magic bands! We check in on the 4th, has Mickey forsaken me???

I got an email earlier this week saying mine had shipped, maybe check MDE to see if there's an update on yours?

I'm currently concerned about my Magical Express luggage tags...we received one set about a month ago for BC but then we switched to YC after they released the AP discounts. I'm hoping our new luggage tags make it in time!

Did you customize them all in MDE and press "Done?" You're in the less than 30 day window and they should ship as soon as they are customized now.

I've never received my tags that early! Did you update your DME reservation in addition to the room? They've overnighted them to me before if they're in danger of coming too late.
 
Mine were supposed to be shipped last week and they still haven't arrived. We arrive the 1st.
Did they go through "customization" and say shipped to ...? Sometimes they don't move for DAYS until the shipping partner has enough to finally fill up the truck. I've received mine days after the estimated delivery window.
 
Your MagicBand has shipped!

Santo Dios! They're coming!

Truth: I was expecting an email from Disney and had not been checking the MDE
#headsdesk
I am glad they shipped! Maybe "Disney Destinations" went to your spam. You are correct, you should have received an e-mail with the tracking number too!

I use a Dreams travel agent, but I don't know why that would cause me to get the luggage tags early. My TA updated our ME reservation and sent me the confirmation last week. Maybe I'll get the new tags with my coupon book?

Hmm, I've never used a TA, so I am not certain. The form does ask if you are a TA. Maybe Disney sends them sooner if the TA is forwarding them? IF you have a confirmation, I am sure they are on their way!
 
Has anyone done any research on the changes to magic bands and fast passes? Apparently it goes into effect today, but I can't find a thread on this topic. Apparently it prevents folks from using more than one band to book FP+. It's probably one of those things some people do to break the rules, and Disney has put a stop to it when you try and use a second band...not really sure. Anyone know?

They closed the SDFP thread that the info was on since Disney changed it's terms of service. But yes you can't use a 2nd band to make fast passes. There's more to it but I'm not sure what we are allowed to talk about.

In a nutshell, use your tickets/magicbands you have tickets linked to and plan on using to enter the park with ONLY for FPs.

(We are not allowed to talk about it, so I am posting this just as a heads up incase anyone missed the thread on it b4 it got deleted...)

Thanks. I didn't know it was a taboo topic...probably why I can't find anything on it except for the few people who have responded. I was just worried that if I used my old MB and it didn't work for some reason, that I then wouldn't be able to use my hard ticket. Don't want any issues! But it looks like I shouldn't have any problems. Thanks again.

I've been keeping up with the changes, so feel free to ask me anything. It doesn't mean that you can't use more than one of your MBs or cards. If all of your cards and MB's are attached to your profile in your MDE account, meaning that you see them all listed when you look at your profile, then you can use any one of those bands or cards to enter the park or for fp+. That means you can use your pink band in the morning then use your blue band after dinner. :)

What the change really means is that you can't use a fp+ that was booked using a ticket belonging to someone who did not enter the park.

Good information. I think this really does clear it up for me. I guess I don't know what people were doing to override the system in the first place. So people were able to book FP's on other bands, even though those bands did not enter a park. Wouldn't think the system would allow that to happen. But...I guess it was a blip that is now fixed. Is this correct?
