Buying Tickets AT Park

[megfarwell]

My immediate family and I will be visiting and staying at Beach Club, so of course we already have Magic Bands, FP, everything ready to go. My parents are camping in FL for 3 weeks and are talking about joining us at HS for the day. I've never bought tickets AT the park before! Are the lines terrible? This will be on Jan. 9th, so definitely low season. How do FP work for them? I think I've seen like a credit card type of card before, is that what they get? Can they make FP in the MDE app if they set up an account after buying tickets?

Thanks!

Not sure what tickets will look like, but they can set up an account beforehand and then as soon as they buy tickets, can link them and make FP for the day. If they are linked to your account in MDE, you may be able to copy your FP, but only if those were still available, which is unlikely the day of for popular ones line TSMM, but you could try it, or ask CM to help.

it's not horrible lines if any at the park. Yes they can link the ticket number on the card to an MDE account and use the app to get fastpasses or they can just use a kiosk at the park (with or without the mde account).

What I would do is setup the account now, link the accounts together and buy the ticket online for exactly the same price. Now you can get them fastpasses in advance that match yours however they would be considered offsite so their fastpass window should be 30 days but sometimes you can get it at 60 because your doing someone on the resort at the same time (but don't hold your breath).
