Can you switch a fast pass from one type ticket to another?

[Ciao Mickey]

We have a trip planned for November 8-14.

I have a 10 day non-expiration ticket tied to my Disney account with days left on it.

I plan to be in Florida at the end of October (own a second home there) so I was going to purchase 4 day Florida resident tickets from AAA to use for this trip.

My question is can I make fast pass reservations at 60 days on my NE ticket and will they or can they be switched to the new fl resident ticket once I enter it on My Disney Experience and prioritize the tickets?

Or are fast-passes strictly linked to a certain ticket (and cannot be changed) or are they linked to your account?

Thanks for any help.

FP+ is not tied to a specific ticket in your account.

If you have the Florida resident tickets linked to you (same Profile as your NE ticket), you'll need to prioritize your tickets at Guest Relations.

You can always link the Florida tickets to a new "middle name/you#2" in your MDE account and then also book FPs with the FL tickets. You'd need to enter the park and FP lines with the plastic ticket.

Use your MBs for the FPs from the NE tickets.

Not to hijack this thread but I have 6 tickets that are not assigned to MDE. We currently have APs. If we link the 6 tickets to phantom names, what happens when we actually need to use those tickets on another trip since they will be under a phantomm name?

You go to your Ticket section of your MDE Profiles and reassign the "digital" entitlement to anyone in your MDE.

The plastic tickets remain with the phantoms; the entitlements are linked to whomever you chose and their MBs provide the link at park entrances and FP lines.

Sorry for being obtuse but this is so confusing to me. I add and linked the 6 tickets to phantom names on MDE which will enable us to make FP+ at 30 days out. I'm still not clear how I am able to use the phantom tickets once our APs expire it they are not attached to specifc names in my family. I'm afraid that once the tickets are assigned to phantom names, I won't be able to reassign them to our real names on MDE. I thought I read that once linked, tickets can't be reassigned.

The plastic ticket cannot be reassigned. Think of the plastic ticket as an envelope that holds the digital ticket entitlement. The digital entitlement, at your direction, can be reassigned or moved to anyone else in your MDE account. The envelope, now empty, remains where it originally was linked.

The digital ticket entitlements can be reassigned as many times as you like until they finally get used - then they can't be reassigned - whoever begins using them has to continue.

@Disneyhappy ~ here is another explanation for you from another thread:

Think of it this way. Once you assign a ticket to someone in MDE, that hard plastic card that the ticket came on becomes like a Magic Band. The ticket ENTITLEMENT -- the ability to enter a park using the days on the ticket -- can be reassigned to anyone else in your MDE, as long as the ticket is unused. The actual plastic card cannot. But it's NOT a big deal. The person to whom you assign the entitlement can use any "media" in his or her MDE account to access that ticket entitlement at the touchpoint. OR, if the person does not have any such media, a quick stop at guest relations can fix the problem by getting a new plastic card.

I think I got it. An exmple to clarify... I am "Snow White" with an AP assigned to me in MDE. I add a phantom name of "Jasmine White" to MDE and assign/link one of my nonexpiring tickets which will allow me to make FP+ 30 days out. When we don't renew our APs next year, I will be able to assign/link the nonexpirinng ticket from "Jasmine White" to "Snow "White". This is a great advantage. Thank you for helping me understand, Hiro!

You're welcome! And you can always Edit names, too, before you are ready to use those tickets if that may be more comfortable for you with non-expiry tickets. Change phantoms to real names and real names to phantoms and you won't have to reassign. That way you'd end up with two different sets of MagicBands if you ever have two sets of tickets as you do now.

One last question - I just realized that my husband and I used 2 days on one set of our non-expiring tickets. If we link them to MDE, will we have to link/assign them to our names rather than Phantoms until we need them assigned to us.

I think in your case, it's better not to link them to phantoms. They are coded into the system as NE tickets and after you link a partially used ticket you won't be able to reassign it nor even Edit the name.

To keep them absolutely separate from any other linked tickets, create a new MDE using a 2nd email address. You can use your real names or middle names and link the NE tickets to this secondary MDE. You'll always have a 30-day booking window and there will never be a chance of a NE day being used inadvertently.

Enter the park and/or FP lines by using the actual NE tickets at your choosing.
