Disney Day: My Disney Experience and Magicbands – FastPass+ and the App
While we were there last month, I tried to use My Disney Experience as much as possible to get a good feel for it. To recap: you get three Fastpass+ reservations per day at one park while you’re staying at the Walt Disney World Resort. Continuing from last month’s “before you go” post, these are three things that the My Disney Experience app can help you do so you can save time in the Parks.
The app is not without its issues. When we were visiting in January, the app was very slow and sometimes did not even load in the park. Writing down and printing out your reservations is a good step to take that many Disney travel blogs (and this blog) are endorsing. This month, the app got an update, but I have yet to be able to test it in the parks. Definitely in May for me, but I’m sure others will be giving it a shot before then. If all else fails, you can ask a FastPass+ cast member to help you. There were many of them available if you needed help. Not quite sure how higher volume days will go as far as having ample help. Disney is still working out the kinks in this new program, but it seems to be shaping up better than I expected it to!
Have you used it yet? Any tips? What do you think of the changes? As always, if you have more questions, just contact me! I’d love to help.
I've always wondered if this app was truly worth it. Would save me a lot of Emma being bored in line, need to download it stat!
