Silly Fast pass question

[margot31]

First time using these new wrist bands and fast pass plus. Last time I was there was in 2012.

Do you need to have park tickets on your account to be able to set up your fastpass? I have yet to get my tickets and granted I still have a while to go but I wanted to check.

Yes, you'll need to have some kind of tickets/vouchers linked to your account.

Yes. A Will Call confirmation for tickets linked to MDE will also allow FP+ selections.

OK thank you. I know I said silly. I am just afraid this trip will still fall through due to my husbands job. So I just keep sitting on doing certain things.

Wasn't a silly question at all. If you're going at a busy time, it would be best if you make FP reservations in advance (60 days if you stay onsite, 30 offsite)...so there's no urgency to get tickets until you hit those times. But also keep in mind that if you buy tickets and for some reason can't go, the tickets would still be good if you have to postpone the trip to another date (even years in the future).

The tickets I am getting are military and expire at the end of the year. So as much as I would love to be able to say its ok we will go another time I just know how my husbands job these days work. But I will get them soon even if we do have to cancel.
