60 day Fast Pass Question/Ticket ID ?

[DisneyBeef]

I have reservations at a WDW resort and bought 3 annual passes for my family last week. Our 60 day window to make Fast Pass+ reservations is coming up. On MDE, it calls for ticket ID numbers to be entered...however, I do not have Magic Bands yet (they are being shipped in April supposedly, well past the 60 day window) and I do not have "tickets", only a voucher that I'm supposed to print out and take to the ticket window when we go to the park. So....how am I supposed to make online Fast Pass+ reservations 60 days out without Magic Bands or tickets with ID numbers on them ??
I would ask for help from disney.com but, due to "scheduled maintenance", they're website is down...TIA

Can't you link your tickets even though you are printing something out to pick them up there? You don't need magic bands in hand to make fp's, just need to have your tickets linked. Up until the exact time the FP window opens up, MDE will say you "need valid park admission", but that is normal and it goes away right when the window opens up. A lot of people get worried and start thinking they don't have tickets. Does the voucher have any kind of ticket numbers?

It says to link my tickets, I need the Magic Band or the tickets themselves. When I try to link them, it says this....
If your tickets aren't listed, you may need to link them to your account. If you don't have an admission card or MagicBand, please visit a Vacation Planning Booth upon arrival.

I find it hard to believe that if you buy annual passes online, that you cannot make FastPass+ reservations until you get your Magic Bands and/or tickets in the mail OR physically go to the park. That kind of defeats the purpose of the 60 day window for resort guests to make reservations...

You can put your voucher # in to link your APs to MDE. People do it all the time. As stated, you don't need the actual AP or a MB to book FPs, just the voucher #.

Thx...I was able to put the ticket ID # (printed under the bar code) in to link them. There was 3 or 4 sets of numbers printed on my voucher but neither was working (maybe part of the "scheduled maintenance"). But now....MDE is recognizing my annual passes, but saying I can only book FastPass+ reservations 30 days in advance; it should be 60 days in advance I thought, because I do have confirmed reservations at POR and that reservation is linked to my MDE account. I'm hoping it will properly open the 60 day window eventually...

Sorry you're having trouble but you can link them online. Print out the vouchers (once done linking them put them in suitcase, then you wont need to worry where they are). On the page with Goofy on it you will see a bar code. If you have a smart phone sign onto your My Disney Experience app, go to my reservations, scroll down to link tickets, It'll allow you to use camera to focus on the bar code and it'll link automatically. If no smart phone use your computer and enter the barcode number to link.

I believe the 60 day window will open when you reach that day.

Glad you were able to link them! Now it says 30 days? When you are on the main page on your MDE where you character and countdown show up and each day and you resort, click on the FP+ tab and it will tell you the exact date you can start making fp's. What date are they giving you? Are you leaving 60 days from today? I am reading your ticker and it says 2 months.
