Soooooo....who is going to be the martyr who attempts to use a non-scanned-in Magic Band at a FP kiosk on June 6, risking MDE "lockout"?? Not me, lol.
Appreciate any research you can do - all data points will help, especially as we get near that day. Here is my plan for testing (probably either the 6th or I might just wait until the 7th in case changes are implemented late on the 6th) -
@ScrapYap and
@hiroMYhero - does this seem like it'll work (without risking my MDE)?
1. I have old cards that aren't associated at all with my MDE - like from my kids' friends buying a one day waterpark or Disney Quest ticket at the gate that have worked for SDFP in the past. I'll attempt to use these at the kiosk and book a SDFP. If they turn blue and don't work at all, I'll just explain the the CM I had an old card and was trying to see if it still had any tickets left on it. Worst case they take the card, which will be useless then anyway.
2. If the card scans green, I will book a SDFP, attempting to match time with a real FP in my name. Probably try something like Living with the Land which isn't a super popular ride and the CM's there are usually more busy answering questions from random guests than scanning FP. I'll wait until it's somewhat busy there and walk and scan the SDFP card. If it scans blue, I'll look confused and be like "oh, no, I scanned the wrong card!" and have my card available to immediately scan next. Again, worst case they take that card and I explain it was from a friend who visited recently and I had it with my card (I won't be wearing a MB at this point). If it turns green, then I'll assume the system hasn't changed yet unless people report otherwise.
3. At that point, I'll feel safer in going back with a different card and booking a SDFP for someone linked to my account (assuming the kiosk was green the first time and only the ride was blue). I'll transfer it to my real name and attempt to use it there. If it doesn't work, I'll be sure to have taken a screenshot on my account of it in my name to show the CM. Then if it somehow locks my account, I'll go to GS and be confused why a FP in my name didn't work.
4. Only then will I feel comfortable testing this with one of my kids' AP's and booking and transferring one of their FP's to mine. I don't want to lock up one of theirs and not have them here to "unlock" it, just in case they're needed to do so in order to unlock mine (I doubt this but playing it safe). All sound good? At that point I'm not going to mess with Tiers or anything - just seeing how the system works for then.
Really appreciate everyone in FL doing on the ground research and keeping us non-locals up to date.
I must be an idiot because I can't tell you how long it took me to figure out FL - I was like "Frontierland? Fantasyland? Fort Lauderdale?" And yes, I live here.
If they are expaired and still on your MDE, I can still go to ride to just scan and clear it? Any FP station or just the one they are for?
I've never tried at another ride but would think likely only the ride you got them at or at Guest Services.
