Delivery method for WDW tickets

[nallepuh]

Hi, I've been waiting for the exchange rate to get better before buying tickets, but because of the rumours about price increases I thought I would buy our tickets today anway even if the exchange rate is still really bad. But, I'm wondering about the delivery and am worried I won't get an answer today if I e-mail Disney so I'm asking here instead.
If I use the "Will Call" option for delivery, will I still be able to connect the tickets to my MDE account before I arrive at the parks in May? Or maybe the most important question, will the "Will Call" delivery option allow me to make my FastPass+ selections 60 days in advance (we are staying onsite) even though I get the tickets when we arrive to the parks? I don't want to pay 25 USD for international shipping so if "Will Call" won't give me access to FastPass+ it might be better to buy from for example Parksavers.com where they are a bit cheaper and where I would be able to get a number to connect to my MDE account for FastPass+ selections.

Thanks in advance!

Will-call absolutely gives you immediate FP+ access. If you buy your tickets while logged into MDE, the tickets will automatically link to your account.

Thank you, that is very helpful! I'll definitely buy them while logged into MDE. But since they are automatically linked then, will I still have to pick the tickets up somewhere once I get to WDW? I have done Will Call several times for Disneyland tickets, but it's a bit easier there without FastPass+ to worry about

We were there last month. When you purchase the tickets they will email you the ticket numbers which you use to link the tickets. The cm that sold the tickets on the phone said we had to pick them up. We made the FP+s. When we checked into the hotel the cm said we didn't have to pick them up.

Thank you @barb969 that is good to know!

It's not actually necessary to pick up your tickets, as long as you have Magic Bands and they are working correctly.
