Not trying to circumvent any rules or anything, but I'm just now getting up to speed on the new fast pass systems and the magic bands.
We almost always stay on property so my understanding is that if we do so again, hopefully December of this year, we will be allowed to book, up to 60 days in advance, up to 3 FP for one park only in one day.
If you don't stay on property, you have to find a fp+ kiosk the day of in your park and then book FP in that manner, by using a card that is given to you?
Here is my question, can you have a Magic Band and still request this card when you enter the park.
I didn't think of this at first, but does Disney require you to show your park ticket before giving you a day of card? I guess this would make sense, if they ask for it and all you have is a Magic Band they would say no, you can't have one.
I have a feeling I already know the answer, but I'm guessing there is no way to increase your allotment of fast passes on any one given day?
Our family for one definitely tries to maximize use of the FP system, and I'm sure we generally get more than 3 on an average day, so I'm not overly encouraged by the news.
My speculation, once this is rolled out and perfected, wouldn't surprise me then for Disney to build tiers within the Magic Band system, allowing you to pay for more benefits. The 3FP will become the base free benefit and then you can pay to add on. I'd totally hate and be against it, but I bet its coming.:ack:
Another thing I hate, this takes away that :magic: moment when you walk up to a family having a bad moment and say "here you go, we don't plan on using these" and making their day.
