We have our room and dining reservations already- but do we need to actually purchase the tickets to use enhanced fast pass?
Yes. It costs extra to get a paper voucher and MS will generally default to the "will-call" option for you.Can I order on the phone with DVC and get a will call number? .........(snip)........
Thank you for the helpful responses- I am so out of the loop as we went to DL this year and was not doing any WDW research.
If I purchase the tickets today and link them can I begin making the fast pass reservations? We will be staying at AOA for 2 nights before checking into BWV. Are all resorts participating or only select ones at this time? Can everybody access the magic bands now?
Ok so here is a question in addition to this we are doing a split stay in may. Either staying at OKW or BWV then moving over to AKV with dining plan. How will linking tickets work? Will my tickets be able to move with me?
You need to create an account on My Disney Experience. Next, create a profile for each member of your party and link your resort reservation and tickets to the profiles.
If you are staying at a resort that is eligible for Magic Bands (all will be by 10/25, November check-ins are not loaded yet but should be) you will be able to customize them and they will be shipped to you. The bands are active when shipped. They do not store information on them. The information is stored in Disney's database and the chip in the band accesses that database. Therefore, anything that is linked to your account will be accessible by your band.
FP+ can be made once you are within your 60 day window as long as you have tickets linked to your profile. The exception is November check-ins and beyond which have not yet been loaded into the system. Once they load the October check-ins and new resorts they will add November.
They are currently sending out one band per reservation but all bands will have access to the same information so they will be interchangeable. SInce your tickets will be on your account, any band that is created for that account will be able to access your ticket.
Ultimately they expect guests to bring the bands back each year and re-use them. They have a battery life of 2-3 years.
I order my DVC AP via the DVC website. They send you a certificate via email, which I like because I like being able to print something and have it with me. I linked the confirmation number on the will-call certificate to my husband's account and it worked perfectly. However, I can't link my activated PAP (yes, we stagger our purchased to keep the effect of the cost painless). I'm going in 4 weeks, staying at BWV. Because we have at least one activated valid admission, I was able to make FP+ selections and was able to order my magic bands .
So you can make FP selections for your entire group even if only one ticket has been purchased and activated? Not clear on this?
And how far in advance can FP selections be made? (30,60,90?)
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.
We are staying at boardwalk and I can't even find an option to book FP reservations. I linked the hotel reservation and my AP numbers.
Sorry to hijack this thread. We don't have AP's but have paper tickets purchased from UT before the price increase. We plan on using these tickets for our trip in March. After I set up my account and link with DVC reservation, will I be able to add my tickets? Hoping to be able to try my magic +.
