FP + What we know and what we want to know

I would take the part about associating tickets to the account, to mean Annual Passholders.

I think from this section of the T&C it looks like this is all going to be tied to room/ticket reservations. I personally think it means tickets and room reservations or DVC or you don't have access to Fastpass+

I would think so as well.

Giving guests a reason to book packages and not just rooms is smart. I just hope package prices become obscene.

Grrrr, I probably should have bought the stupid PAP at the DVC price. I think you are both right. DVC members don't need a package, just tickets... Or do we need to buy a package now? A FP plus package? I guess these questions are already on my list above.

DVC would not need a package but tickets yes. I think they are trying to get people to quit holding onto tickets, for year and years and using them.

I think you will need tickets, either MYW or APs that can be linked to your account. Annual Pass can already be done that way by registering your AP.

If you want to use old tickets you will have to turn them in at check in and have them put on your wristband.

I think for months it is going to be mess.

I hope it's settled or somewhat settled by May 2014...
I feel like the next two years, though, will be a true time period.

I agree, I am actually glad we are not going until much later this year.

This is one reason I decided to spend a lot of time at WDW this past August. The possibilities are daunting and not necessarily something we want to deal with but we'll see.

That is an excellent list OP. All subject to change of course.

Uuugh....I'm having severe anxiety as I am going in June ... Been plenty of times before, but of course this is my first time staying off site because of the size of our group... Hate this not knowing!

I fell the same way and regret reading the 2 most current FP+ threads.

We will be staying at the Swan Dolphin, do you think we will have access to the FP+ and/or the bracelets? When we went on 2011, also at SD, tickets were not tied in with the room key like other resorts, but we had EMH access and part of the bus system.

I think you may be correct because I am thinking what happens when you have a 7 day ticket but a split stay at 2 resorts

Any speculation on YES tickets?

We are DVC. Bought 2 PAP in October 2012. Have 1 unused 5 day UT ticket. And am planning trip in September with DVC for sure. And possible trip off site in May.

Anxious to see how this all plays out. I am still VERY lost.

No idea. I will add it to the list!

If you can't associate MYW tickets with an account, then what about DVC members who don't get APs? We're not sure how DVC members are included (if the are...it's assumed), and they don't always by APs (we buy based on our travel schedule needs). A ticket is likely still required.

I don't think third-party tickets are necessarily excluded yet.

But aren't UT tickets really disney tickets anyway, just sold at a cheaper price? We are headed down in June using rented DVC points. The plan was (is) to save $50 and get the tickets from UT, then have them added to the KTW "card".. hopefully that will still work with this new FP+.. Not looking forward to coming in at the beginning of this thing

What do you think that language means? Does that have anything to do with the survey question some testers answered? "- Would you buy tickets through Disney in order to use this feature?"

I wonder if this means if I use my DVC for a room, I still have buy my ticket direct? More good questions.
