How do I remember FP+ times?
Just wondering how I will remember my FP times I've scheduled? Will I have to keep checking my phone? And if that is how I will need to do it, what about people without smart phones?
Next up - January '14 - WL

I keep a little notebook with all the times and confirmation numbers and such. I write all of the info for each day on a separate page. I tear out the day's page on my way out each morning, and slip it into my wallet for easy reference. (Being Canadian, I do not use a Smart phone at WDW either).

Another little "annoyance" factor that the change from paper FP to MagicBands has (hopefully) inadvertantly added. I printed out the pages from My Disney Experience and had them with me in the park.
But I was not doing any changing of FP+ times while there. If so... if you don't have a printer along with you, you might have to use the concierge desk to print it out for you.

Another check against FP+.

I hadn't thought of it until it was brought up here.... because I didn't try to change anything. I could have just hand written it down, but that is one of those little things that in today's world.. .... you really don't expect to have to do.
I know....... MagicBands with PRINTERS in them!

Paper and pen. Type it in "notes" on your phone. Take a photo of times or changes. Print it.from home.
We were just in Disney, used FP+, and didn't have any issues keeping track of my Times. I typed everything up in my phones notes. The one day I had to change a time I took a photo of the screen showing the new time in the park. It really was a non issue.

I believe there are kiosks in the parks where you can look up your choices.

I took a screen shot photo of the times with my phone. The app just took waaayyyy to long.

Maybe one day magic bands will have a little alarm and LCD screen to say "your fastpass for Space Mountain is ready" !

That would be a nice feature if the DME Web Site gave you a "pop-up" message, or linked to your phone's Calendar program for a reminder.
I bring a tiny notebook each year with all my ADRs (and confirmation numbers), plane info, parking info, reservation numbers, ticket confirmation numbers, etc. Since I'll be booking my FPs in advance, I'll probably include them in my little book, too.

That would be great. It's what I was thinking, too.
I can remember one dining reservation. FP on top of that is too much to remember. I am not carrying around notebooks.

I use my iPhone. I just turn off my data roaming so that I can still use my wifi without international charges.

This was a major source of irritation for us last week. We were constantly going, "What time is our Fastpass again? Where is it?" and having to pull up the dreadfully slow and unreliable app to check.
Reminders and alerts are a core functionality element of any mobile app (and I say this as someone who builds apps for a living) and its exclusion from this app is just another example of how poorly thought out and planned this entire program was.

We did the same thing!
App was slow, when it would connect. So many times (at least 60% of the time) we got a popup saying there was a "blip" with the system, and we couldn't connect. Never had the issue before we left home to go to WDW... just while we were on property.

I kept saying to DH... "Why don't they make this sync with the calendar on our iPhones, or better yet, give a popup?? That would be perfect!!

OMG that "blip" error message was seriously about to drive me to drink. First off it's terrible wording anyway and secondly it happened far too often.

Another reason why it's bad
I'm glad this was brought up. It's really a terrible idea. There is no way to even know your return time if you don't bring a smart phone or tablet. We didn't bring either for 2 reasons. One because we were on vacation and two, no one said anything about it. Suffice it to say we had a terrible time trying to use fast pass. Thanks for nothing Disney.

this is another thing that makes the new FP an issue.
