How EXACTLY do I book FP+?

[scrapquitler]

Okay We are going to the World on 4/18 I'm trying to get ready and decide what FP+ I want to book for which day, and I'm trying to look at the system so I won't be confused on Monday morning when it's time to book. But I'm not having any luck looking at it on the MDE on my app.

So...under My Reservations I see our hotel reservation (Pop for 5 nights) and I see our 6 day base tickets listed with each of our names. When I got to the FP+ part, I pick "choose new fast pass + experiences" because I just want to see what the screens are going to look like so I have an idea of what to choose...and it tells me to choose the guests I want to manage. If I click on one of our names, it tells me that I "need park admission" and that I should scan the barcode. I don't have a barcode or ID number because our magic bands haven't arrived yet. If I pick the 'room with tickets' option, I'm prompted to add the confirmation number and my last name. If I do that, it tells me that my reservation is already linked to an account.

SO?????????????????????????????

I need to know how I am supposed to do this because I want to get myself the reservations that I want, but if the system isn't going to work, what options do I have?

I have never been able to book on the app. The app is fine for changing but has never worked for me when it came time to actually book FP+.

I've always just used my laptop or desktop to book FP+.

The reason that it is asking you for new tickets is because you are trying to make fast pass selections before your 60 day window is open for your current tickets. You will not be able to look at the system ahead of time to see how it works. It won't let you.

But there are places on Disney fan sites and forums like this that have screen shots and detailed instructions of what they look like, I've seen them. I just don't remember where they are.

What they said.

You have to be in the window with valid admission.

If your tickets were not in a package, you might be able to look at a date in the next 30 days.

But essentially, you would select to make a FP+, choose the park and then the date, and then choose from the list of attractions.

It's because your have booked a Package. The FP window opens at exactly 60 days before your Package check-in day.

Those with active tickets purchased separately from a room-only reservation are able to practice.

YouTube Fastpass and there should be some instruction videos.

OP, here is step by step with screen shots using a computer. The app looks a little different though the steps are pretty much the same.
