actually you make the FP for only the folks with a valid admission. After you link the admission to the others during checkin, you can go to manage FP and copy your FP to others in your traveling party. I was told this when I called in about my PAP not linking up. I've since gone to manage FP on my phone and had no problem copying FP assigned to one member in our party to others in our party who had admission added after I booked FP for my DH. I hope it works that easy when we check in. I will post back after I do this. I figured it's worth a try and better than no FP at all.
I believe most people have been able to link the tyvek (paper) tickets purchased from UT without much issue. There seems to be a problem linking RFID tickets purchased from UT.
Okay, not quite understanding that part, but both DH and I have PAPs we will activate in December. Our adult children are traveling with us, and from the above post, it looks like it would be best for us to go to the Disney store and buy their park hoppers NOW so we can also link them in the same way we did our PAPs.
Does even person in the party need to have a linked ticket to make fast pass reservations?
Or can I make reservations for the entire party on one ticket?
How far in advance can the FP reservations be made ?
If you can link all of your passes now that would save you a headache. I can't link my Green PAP to MDE account (it was an exchange from paper PAP to green PAP at the Odysessy Building in May). But the others in my party can and have linked theirs. I and others have been told we can just be "copied" on to other's FP after I link my PAP .
How far out is Disney allowing FP reservations for now? I would like to reserve passes as the earliest opportunity as we are traveling during Presidents Week- a busy time. When will (or is it already) February be available?
What is a "Green" PAP? We traded in our paper PAPs for the plastic RFID PAPs in the Odyssey Building in April. Are you saying that we will not be able to link our tickets and book FPs in advance because we converted our passes? Our trip is in November at BWV, so this is assuming they will extend the FP+ option into November.

According to the IT folks, no everyone doesn't need valid admission, but someone in your party does. I've actually made FP choices for my husband, then copied them to my DD & family later. See my other post for more info.
Of course, after I get linked I am hoping to be copied to the FPs my DH has (as told to us and others on the boards). We will see.
Interesting. Cause when I went into MDE to make FP+ reservations, I could do it for everyone but me and my son. It's cause our passes are set to expire 2 days before arrival. There were no other tickets linked. So I had to renew those before it would let me make reservations. It said right next to our names Not Valid for MyMagic+ Needs valid park Admission.

Yes, we have the same pass. I have seen a few post where some folks were successful linking these exchange tickets, but not me, nor my friends who are meeting us there. I called the IT department and was told that there is a glitch and they can't be linked. They said they are working on it, so I keep trying. You can link your pass any time, so you should try now just so you know if it works or not, you can even try calling if it doesn't work. Like I mentioned earlier, when calling I was told I could make FP+ for my husband, who has a will call certificate and linked to my/his MDE account without a problem. I was told, along with others, that once I arrive and get my ticket linked to my account, I can copy his FP+ selections to myself....while I also question availability.....it's the only shot I've got, so will give it a try. I will post back after I check in Oct. 18th to let folks know if it was successful. However, after I made FP selections for my DH (only), I finally added tickets (PAPs) for my daugther and family and did go to manage FP+ and pulled up my DH's Fast passes and "copied" them to my daughter and family of 4 and it worked perfectly with no problems. Now all 5 in our traveling party (different room reservations) all have the exact same FP, except me....where it shows valid admission needed. However, our friends who are meeting us there, couldn't do anything since their exchange tickets could not link to their MDE account, so we are hoping to be able to copy them also on our FP selections on the days we are together.....again, it's the only thing they can do. BTW, my trip actually goes into November (2) and I made FP selections for those days too!
That's right. That is what it says next to me and I can't make FP arrangements for me, but I can choose my DH and my DD and family and make them for all of them. I was told by IT that once I arrive and can then link my pass, it's no problem for me to then be copied to the rest of my family's FPs. So yes, you can make them for those in your family that show current valid admission, and later be copied to their fast passes. I honestly don't know how well it will work, but isn't it the only option we have at this point? like I mentioned, I have copied my husbands fp+ choices to my daughter because I started making his choices before she linked her PAPs and after she did and she now had the valid admission, I choose managed FP+ and did a copy. The only person who showed up holding fastpasses was my husband. I clicked the button next to him and the next screen showed all of my friends and family who were traveling the same time. I clicked all 4 of their buttons and like magic, they all now have the exact same fast passes that I booked for my husband. I unfortunately can't do it until I arrive and can manually have my PAP (which is current until January) linked to my Magic band. Hope that helps.....
How would that work? Wouldn't the FPs be gone by the time you got there? Or does it automatically set yours aside for the same time as the rest of them? FP+ times are already dwindling.
I renewed my pass online and was able to link the renewed voucher to my MDE and then it came up for everyone. So I have FP+ for everyone now including me and my son even though our actual pass expires. The renewal voucher is linked.
