Annual Pass Question

[maciec]

I already purchased our AP renewals and our 4yo's brand new AP. I opted for the voucher since our trip isn't until December. Is there any way to have that changed and have our AP's mailed to us so that we can secure our 60 day FP+. My big kids have a different expiration so they are good to go and I will have no problems making their FP+ at 60 days. It's me, dh, and the little one that won't be able to make at 60 days. Oh and if it matters we are staying on site

Can't you just link the voucher number into your MDE account?

You should be able to log into to MDE and enter your voucher number. if they were renewals, they may already be listed in MDE since they were already attached to each of your names. If you need help, I'm sure disney can help you attach them ahead of time so there won't be any problem making your FP's ahead of time.

I have attached the vouchers to our MDE, but you can't book FP+ at 60 days is my understanding even if you are staying on site. I would love to be wrong about this

You're wrong. If the voucher is linked to MDE, then you'll have full FP+ privileges.

Is it because we are staying onsite? The reason I say this is because last year we didn't stay at our DVC and stayed offsite. With our vouchers we were only able to make FP+ at 30 days

Anyone with valid park admission linked to MDE can make FP+ selections for the upcoming 30 days. Will Call Confirmations for both MYW tickets & APs are considered valid park admission for the purpose of making FP+ selections. Exchange Certificates (aka vouchers) for APs are also valid for the purpose of making advance FP+ selections.

If you are staying at a Disney Resort (including Swan/Dolphin), you can being to make FP+ selections at 60 days from check-in. Must have valid park admission linked to MDE.

Linked my vouchers in February for our May trip and had no problem getting our FP choices at the 60 day window. Got to wdw in May and then activated our ap. easy peasy. Heck one of the vouchers for my 7 yr old granddaughter was 3 years old. I had purchased it years ago then the promotional pap came out so have been sitting on it for a few years.

If an AP holder isn't staying onsite then that AP holder can only make FP+ reservations at 30 days out from each park day. If the AP holder IS staying onsite, then they can make FP+ reservations 60 days out from their arrival day.

This is why you could only make FP+ reservations at 30 days out last year, but will be able to make them at 60 days out this year.

I have a voucher only, and just made all my FP+ reservations on Wed at midnight, for our August trip.

Thank goodness! Takes a weight off of my shoulders!

You do realize that with a renewal the expiration date doesn't change from your current expiration date (except the year). If you have a long time between trips (more than a couple of months) getting a new date and paying for a new AP may be better. Also you can only activate a renewal 30 days before or after your current pass expires. If this is not your plan then you need to plan to pay the difference between the renewal and new pass when you trade in your vouchers.

Yes I am aware.
