Last night, I attended my second ever Disney Parks Blog meet up (the first being for the 24 hour Disney Day back in June). These meetups are announced every few months, and you basically have to stalk the Blog and send your email to attempt to get in the instant the blog is updated with the meet up invite. This meet up was at the about-to-reopen California Grill.

MagicBands and FastPass+ information share
This post is now more than 1½ years old. The information was all accurate and correct at the time, however Disney has made lots of changes since then. I strongly suggest you do not rely on this post for any accurate or up-to-date information. Most of the screen shots and processes will NOT correspond to what you’ll see when you attempt to book FastPass+ now.
I’ve been updating this post since it was originally posted back on July 31, 2013. I’ll attempt to break it out by update here:
Selecting MagicBands and FastPass+ Reservations
Using MB & FP+ in the parks
Ride closures, FP+ without MB, MyMagic+ terminals, FP+ reservation windows
Using FP+ after your window has elapsed
Attraction Tiers

Why you shouldn’t believe a Jim Hill rumor
First let me say that this post is by no means a dig against Jim Hill himself. I have never met Mr. Hill, I have no idea what kind of person he is. In fact, I have no doubt that Mr. Hill does indeed have many friends and contacts within the Walt Disney Company. However, Jim Hill’s problem is that he asserts EVERYTHING is true. Any idea that’s ever tossed around a board room is “going to happen”, regardless of where it is in the planning stages. Any idea that ever *was* tossed around but didn’t actually happen is “the way it was *supposed* to be”. To be sure, some of his rumors have actually come true. But the vast majority of them do not. With that in mind, this post serves as a cautionary tale, presenting you with evidence why you should never ever believe a rumor reported (or “confirmed”) by Jim Hill.
