? about selecting fp if staying on site

[buzz2400]

We are staying onsite. Myself and son already have old tickets on our account so we are listed when I go to the select fast passes but his girlfriend, who has never been to disney, is not. We are buying new tickets for this trip. We arrive on 9/29. I am assuming that on 7/29 at midnight when I log into mydisneyexperience, her name will be there as well? I am getting a little anxious since last year I remember having problems with the system.

Actually, 7/29 isn't your booking date if your arrival date is 9/29. It's 7/31 due to the fact that both July and August have 31 days. But yes, everyone shows up when the 60 mark is reached.

I just want to clarify PP's post. If you booked as a package then yes, everyone should show up when you reach the 60-day mark, see bolded in-red in the first post here:

However, if you were planning on purchasing a separate ticket for DS' girlfriend and did not book your vacation as a package, then you will need to

a) Make sure that she either has her own MDE account and is linked to yours as Friends & Family or else simply make a listing for her as Friends & Family on your account if she doesn't have her own

and

b) Make sure that you purchase the ticket and it is linked to her account/listing prior to the 60 day mark.

You will not be able to make reservations for anyone if they do not have valid ticket media for the dates you will be in the park in-hand (actually in MDE) at the point when you are trying to make the FP+.

Boy am I glad that I posted this. You know how you see one thing but think another. I saw the countdown on my trip thing and I didn't put two and two together. I just had it in my head 2 months in advance.

We did purchase a package together so we should all be linked then. thanks so much for the answer.
