    Disney's ALL-STAR SPORTS RESORT Information & Questions

    Selection wasn't great in March. here are a couple they had on the rack. If you have the option to go to Disney Springs, Pin Traders at the Market Place end has the best selection of bands. Emporium in the Magic Kingdom has a great assortment. Dark Room in Hollywood Studios has a very good...

    Anyone heard of Palo Prima Notte?

    When we did it, the restaurant was not otherwise open. It was for the event only. They brought us in for the event, and when it was over we were escorted out.

    Disney used to sell Magic Band Sliders. They were meant to be more decorative, not to keep the band from coming unclasped, although some used them to keep the bands on. I have not see Disney have them in quite a while. I did not see any my last few trips in March and December. Search Amazon...

    Your band needs to have buzzed indicating an connection to the statue, then you need to waive your hand real fast, and the statue should make a sound. During our for the 50th Celebration trips, we were able to do the quest and get all statues (using the Play Parks app on our phones) and they...

    Sorry, I know you got answers, but to expand on them... True to an extent. Your Bluetooth needs to be ON, the app needs to be signed in on your phone, AND the app needs to be open/running. If your phone closes unused apps to save power that will cause an issue if it closes the Disney app...

    Disney's ALL-STAR SPORTS RESORT Information & Questions

    We just stayed in Sports 7108(us), 7109(father in law) and 7110(friend) from March 19-29. These rooms had a newer Samsung TV with the Welcome "our name" on them when we arrived. There is an option to cast on that home/welcome screen. You need to be on same WIFI, and follow the instructions on...

    Well this is interesting. When I charged my MB+ bands in the past, I usually power them off in an effort to save battery until I need the long range features. (So like I take the band off the charger in the hotel, power the band off, and wait to power it back on until after I get into the...

    Tap functions still work perfectly on even MB1 bands from 2013-2014. You can use them for park entry, lightning lane entry, etc. If you stay on property you can use them to open the room door, tap to charge to your room, etc. You mentioned not wanting photos, I don't know if this also...

    So the OP hasn't been updated in a while, and I have a few questions... OP Lists Amazon Prime Now, which we had used several yeas ago. Amazon took Prime Now away, other than Whole Foods delivery, does Amazon still have a delivery service where you can pick a window (I can't find it on their...

    Linking credit cards is to the resort reservation, not an individual traveler, or person's band. Its typically done by the lead guest going into MDE, under their profile, configure payment methods, entering a credit card, and scrolling down to establish a PIN...

    Since you manage the Son's account, if its a "store purchased" MB+ you can log into MDE on your phone, link the band and select him when it asks who to assign the band to. Once linked (or if its a "pre-arrival band"), you can bluetooth pair the band with your phone and do the initial software...

    Disney Visa 0% interest on pre-purchased onboard credit

    Thanks. I'm looking for how a TA does it so that I can do in the future if my clients request. I even called Disney's Earmarked TA support, they told me how they do it, and it didn't work for me. So I was hoping someone who has actually done it for their clients could share how.

    How much onboard credit do I need?

    I am a TA. I had not done that before, I asked others at my Earmarked host agency they didn't know either. So I called Disney's agent line. Unfortunately he way they instructed me to do it, did not work as 6month/0%.

    Any TA's here that have successfully done this for their clients, can you message me?

    How much onboard credit do I need?

    On our Nov cruise, charges hit my on file credit card multiple times throughout the cruise. So I would definitely suggest every few days. @Angeliki19 as a frame of reference we are a Family of 3 (Son is 15). When we did the Very Merry Time cruise on the Fantasy at the end of November (7...

    Rain gear

    At 6'2" the ponchos I buy don't come down long enough to cover the bottom edge of my shorts so they get wet, and often people don't take their ponchos off to go on even the indoor rides, so the ride seats are often wet. Because of that I wear my rain suit from my golf bag :D I like that the...

    Did you tap for test track photo? If you didn't, do you have the My Magic Mobile setup on your phone?

    Disney’s Magic Band FAQ Link

    I know that they will still work for tapping (room door, park entry, and claiming ride photos for those rides with bank of monitors where you tap your band to claim your photos). Is your 2018 band really working to auto-link photos? Are you getting photos for Seven Dwarfs, Pirates...

    Disney’s Magic Band FAQ Link

    For MB and MB2.0 there is no way to test the internal battery except by using it and watching for your ride photos on rides like Pirates, Guardians, Frozen, Seven Dwarfs, etc. to be automatically attached or not. as CarolynFH said, the internal battery on those older bands typically last...
