Maybe others will start reporting.

There is a dedicated thread about this starting today...

I try to keep up with reports like this, and generally wait until there is a clear and intentional change to MDE before updating the OP. I am watching the AP and offsite situations with interest.

I understand your method, - thank you for updating when you do. Excellent information. I appreciate it.

Hey y'all, question- I am staying at the GF in June for 6 days, at the moment I only have a 1 day ticket linked to my account, because I have cast member printed tickets to use for my other days. Will I be able to make fp+ reservations for my whole trip or only for 1 day based on the linked ticket?

As of today's setup, just the one day. CM tickets provide no ability to prebook FP at the moment.

I have hotel reservations, if I link the tickets into MDE will I be able to?

I don't think you can link CM tickets to MDE. I have visited once staying onsite with CM tickets and had to wait until day-of to make selections. This will likely change at some point, but no one knows when that will be.

If they are the Comp tickets, you can link them and see what happens. People who have said it works had linked the Comp e-tickets that were printed out with a confirmation number... the Comps appeared to be from ESPN or ABC employees who didn't have the same restrictions as onsite WDW CMs.

I have some older multi day/non expiring tickets from many years ago. I also have old 1 day passes left on some hotel key cards(back then, I booked free dining, but didn't need to use the 1 day park admission, so they are still on the card).

Are these able to be linked up with my mde bands for my upcoming trip?

Read on touringplans.com regarding MK-- "FastPass+ users can choose 3 or 4 of the attractions above on most days. Unlike Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios, the Magic Kingdom does not "tier" their FastPass+ attractions. "
It was my understanding that there was a limit of 3 per park, per day. Why does this say 3 or 4?

I haven't read a single report of a fourth MK FP since last summer.

Based on a few YouTube videos I've seen, which shows someone booking their FP+ for MK, you can be offered a fourth attraction as one of your options. However, it's not a guarantee. This may have changed since these videos were posted.

So I was able to link at least one of the tickets, and assign it to myself. I have done the rest yet but I guess getting it linked it a step in the right direction. They are from disney APAC though so maybe that has something to do with it. I was working for Disney English in China when I got them.

My 60 day window doesn't open until April 3 rd so will have to wait and see.

Since you can only get 1 fast pass for either Soarin or Test Track, what would be the best strategy to minimize wait time?

I have a question if we already have non expiring tickets can i just go to like Downtown Disney and pick up MB's and then when we book our room add all the FP+ and ADR's? Thank you for your help.

If you can get to Epcot at rope drop then get Fast Track. Before FP+ we would arrive at rope drop and book it over to Soarin'. The entire crowd has the same idea so get up front if you can or be ready to move with cat like reflexes and skills. Well, at least be prepared to make a bee line for Soarin' at rope drop and you'll be fine.

We will be skipping Soarin' this year due to my motion sickness prone DW(just married last year). No worries here since I have been on it plenty of times before.

When your room is booked, MagicBands are part of the offer. Your room reservation number and tickets need to be linked to MDE in order to book Fp+ 60 days before your onsite stay begins. Your ADRs can be booked 180 days in advance and they will automatically be linked to your MDE account. All the MagicBands do is provide a link to your MDE file/folder of information.

 

[ashnjam]

Thank you Itinkso so there is no point of getting my MB's a year before my trip then? If i can even do that?

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Hmmm... I want to make sure I understand this...

For AP guests, FP+ can be prebooked for a maximum of 7 days. Once one of those 7 days passes or is used, an additional day of FP+ can be prebooked, ad infinitum.

- We are AP holders and arrive in WDW Oct 9, staying onsite for 11 nights
- I can book FP+ on Aug 10 for the dates Oct 9 - Oct 15 (7 days)
- To book FP+ for Oct 16 - Oct 20 I have to wait until Oct 10 when I start using them?? Or does this NOT apply because I have an onsite hotel reservation? If the latter, can I book FP+ for the full 11 days beginning 60 days out??

Confused...
