FastPass+ Basic Info, Attraction List, and Suggested Priorities--Part I

[SPOERLX3]

You can. At least in some circumstances.

Our check in at our resort is 7/29, Our FP window opens on 5/30 for those dates
But, I can go in to MDE right this moment and book a FP for tomorrow, and for the next 30 days. Now, I'm not there so I can't use them but I can book them on any day over the next 30.
I don't know why you can't.

Yes, it's because your trip is in September. As a resort guest your FP+ booking window starts 60 days prior to arrival.

Thank you so much for your answers. No A&E for us (not this year at least). I asked my DGS's and they were not interested at all

Did you ever get this message prior to recently?
"We're Sorry...
In order to select FastPass+ experiences, party members must have a valid ticket and be within at least one party member's FastPass+ selection window."

I am just wondering if, as we get closer, I won't get this message anymore and will have a couple of days/weeks to play with it.
I just don't want it to get to my 60 day window and I realize then that there is something wrong

Perhaps you already answered this but do you have your tickets linked? If so, can you book something over the next 30 days? Perhaps you have a package?

We have everything liked. Our package, our tickets, etc. I did try and relink my tickets but it says they are already linked.
I can see the calendar in the background but it gives me the error message "We're Sorry...
In order to select FastPass+ experiences, party members must have a valid ticket and be within at least one party member's FastPass+ selection window."

I can see everyone's (all 6) tickets listed on both reservations and when I click on the "link tickets", it gives me a picture sample of a paper ticket as if I needed to link an older ticket/paper ticket, etc.

So let me get this correct. If myself, husband and son have a FP ticket we all present to the FP line with our bands. At that point we can get a rider swap ticket bc my daughter is to small to ride? Learn something new every da...I thought rider swap was only given out in stand by lines.

My understanding is that only the 2 riding first need the FP on the bands actually (for example your husband and son). You go up with them and DD and get a rider swap ticket so you can ride later (with son again).

Someone who's done it recently, is this correct? Or do all 3 riding need a FP on their bands?

No, I've never seen that message. I guess it's because I have tickets and resort, not a package. That is the only difference I can come up with. Though even that should not make a difference since I thought you could use tickets anytime you wanted to. What is to stop you, if you desired, from going down, using the tickets you have and buying more for your trip in Sept later?

If it is limiting your access because you have a package then no, sorry, it won't allow you do to anything until day 60.

Has anyone else ever gotten this message??? I am just wanting to make sure this is normal if we have a package and that it will definitely open up on my 60 days so I can book my FP's. If no one else has gotten this, I want to call the Disney technical support to see if they need to do something to fix it

jcarwash, please don't think I am disputing your word
I just want to make sure that others have gotten this message and it will go away when my day comes

 

[SPOERLX3]

here's the message I got when I tried:

"
We're Sorry...
.

In order to select FastPass+ experiences, party members must have a valid ticket and be within at least one party member's FastPass+ selection window. "

Aliceacc, I am getting this message too, just wondering if you have had any resolution? jcarwash responded that it is because we are not within our 60 day booking window, which makes sense but others are saying they can get in and play with the FP system to get a feel for it Just wondering. I dont want my 60 day window to get here and not be able to book my FP's.

Those that are able to play with it ahead of time I *think* have just tickets linked. If you booked a package, then I don't think you're able to go in until your 60 day mark (which was what happened to me).

I have a package booked for end of Oct and I get the same msg. I assume it's b/c it's the free dining package. The system knows when I'm gonna be there and sadly that is way more than 60 days.

We are here now and this is exactly how it is working. Just keep track of who's is assigned which fastpass.

Right -- if you have any other type of valid unused ticket you can link it to MDE and play around with the FP+ system within the open 30 day window. So like today on May 20 you can play around with FP+ system and see (and make) selections through June 19th. But if you're not traveling during that time, you're just "playing."

If your upcoming tickets are tied to a package, your booking window opens at 60 days and then you'll get into the FP+ system for the actual selections for your visit.

I don't have the exact link right now, but you can go on youtube and watch a tutorial of how to make your fast pass selections. It eased my mind to know what the screens would look like. I too worried about not being able to play with the system in advance, but it was a very easy process and I worried for nothing. Hope that makes you feel better!

I have been getting that same message. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. Like you, we have a package and our 60 days isn't for another month.

GREAT IDEA!!! Thank you!!!!

And thank you to all my disboard friends for getting me through this

Here is my scenario: Room only, 8/22-25. Package with room and 6-day tickets, Aug. 25-30. MDE says my 60 day mark is 7/26, which is 60 days before the package. When 7/26 rolls around, will I be able to book FP for 8/22-24? Have not been able to find the answer to this.

I would say no unless you had other tickets for that part of your stay. My understanding when you have a room only before a package is that you have to check out and then back in. So you wouldn't have access to those tix until you check in to your 8/25 - 8/30 stay.

Without tickets I don't think so. It takes tickets AND resort reservations to book at 60 days. If you have only 1 of those things then you can't book till 30 days.

ETA - if you don't have tickets till 8/25 what would you be booking FP for on 8/22 stay?

 

[trixiemuffin]

Package tickets can be picked up 3 days early. We did this last year at CBR. It can also be done at any Guest Relations.

Ah, ok. Still don't think you can book for those room only dates till 30 days out. You'd need those tickets. Is there any way you can break up the package portion to be room only and then a 6 day ticket? If you do that you can book at 60 days, I think. Then the tickets would be free floating instead of tied to a check in date.

No, wish I could. The package includes free dining, so don't want to mess with that! We got a PIN and booked the package for the earliest possible date. We'll see what happens when that 60 day mark comes. Only planning on doing one day in AK before the package starts.
