[dianeschlicht]

I asked this exact question when I called MS this week, and they haven't got a clue. Bums me out!

 

[disneynutz]

Call WDW information and ask them since it's a WDW issue.

You 'Claim' your pass using My Disney Experience. The MDE website doesn't currently show 'claimed' passes, but the MDE app does.

From the FAQ in the My Disney Experience app:

Q. How do I link my Walt Disney World Annual Pass with My Disney Experience?
A. It's easy! Visit the About Me screen in the Profile section to link your pass.

The linking process requires that you have your Annual Pass in your possession, as you will need the ID Number printed on the pass.

Once your Annual Pass is linked, you will see it listed on the About Me screen in the Profile section and the My Reservations section. My Reservations also lists your FastPass+ arrival window times.

Please note that Water Park and DisneyQuest Annual Passes only appear in the My Reservations section of My Disney Experience, not on the About Me screen in the Profile section.

Q. As an Annual Passholder, how do I reserve access to select attractions and shows in advance with FastPass+ service?
A. All you have to do in link you Annual Pass with My Disney Experience and you are ready to reserve access to select FastPass+ attractions, entertainment and quick-service dining. Once you Annual Pass is linked, visit the My Reservations section and tap the FastPass+ button.

To confirm that your Annual Pass is linked, check that it's listed in the About Me screen in the Profile section and the My Reservations section. My Reservations also lists your FastPass+ arrival window times

FastPass+ booking is subject to actual FastPass+ rollout.


NOTE: Linking your AP to MDE will NOT give you access to the Passholder webpage. That's an entirely different process that Disney has not yet updated. Access to the passholder webpage is not necessary to schedule FastPass+ as that will be done using MDE.

I am so confused by all of this.

So basically, I will have to sign up the entire family so I can get a fast pass ahead of time?? We won't trade our PAP vouchers until next month.......

that is the problem the new passes - the ones we got in march thru may - will not work

I don't get this information - I get information telling me that the new ap are not yet in the system. and it does not give a date - just says that they willl be there later this year.....

if I had known this would not have updated my ticket.

so guess those of us who got the new tickets (WII ones) they won't work for this summer. so we don't get fast pass?

 

[spiceycat]

Did you purchase a new pass or convert your pass to one of the new cards after March 19, 2013?


We are sorry, but we are unable to add your passholder affiliation at this time. If you wish to book a Disney Resort hotel stay, call (407) 560-PASS or (407) 560-7277 to make your reservation and receive your passholder discount. Guests under age 18 must have parent or guardian permission to call. Please pardon our pixie dust while we prepare to roll-out MyMagic+ enhancements for your enjoyment later this year.


guess I should just have called them - but hate to call people instead of email them these days

Disney keeps this up I know what they won't be getting... MY MONEY!



Seriously, I figure as a late booker I am going to get screwed by this. So I may just go to the beach instead!

To use FastPass+, you will need link your passes to MDE in the same place on the website you would a resort reservation:

https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/claim/

If you do link your pass using the above link, it will not appear on the MDE website yet. They did briefly show up on 6/26 under My Profile, but disappeared later in the day. They will show on the MDE mobile app as noted in Post #6.

The Passholder 'Affiliation' appears to be just for purchasing special event tickets via disneyworld.com. It doesn't have anything to do with FastPass+.

 

[spiceycat]

sorry have tried several times to link it - it is not following it and it refers me to that answer.

while the old ap that I had no problem linking - it is just the newer ap

 

[spiceycat]

use your link and again it was refused - this tine it tells me to take it WDW to be able to use it,,,,

boy wish they would have said this before I changed it

I was able to scan our PAPs not sure what I can do with that. I also need to upgrade our passes to the RFID ones when we go next week. Should I have been signing up for FP +. I didn't think it was in practice yet. We did not get bracelets yet either. Should we have?

It's only in a testing phase at a couple resorts, it ran from 6/20 to 6/26 at the Contemporary and AKL (non-DVC). There's no official date when it will be rolled out or even when it will be tested again. You're not missing anything.

THANK YOU that is what I have and the computer system is refusing to knowledge it - so guessing that Disney is dreaming again when they expect the system to up and ruining this year.

so no one is getting advance fast passes????

There was a guest test at CR and AKL (excluded DVC Villas) that ran from 6/20 to 6/26. Other than for testing, FastPass+ is not yet available and there is no official date as to when it will be.

I don't get it. What makes Disney's Brainiacks think that everyone uses their Websites or even carries a Smart Phone or even carries a phone in the parks? Based on what I'm reading here if you don't then you can no longer be a "Guest" of Disney?!?!?!

I was able to link MY PAP voucher, but not my husband's. It doesn't list the rest of my family members, and there is no information on how to do that.

You add him to 'Friends & Family' which is found under 'My Profile'.

If he has his own MDE account, you will want to 'invite' him so you can view and share plans.

If he doesn't have his own MDE account, you will manage the account.

Thanks, Michael. We used your instructions to link the MDE accounts for my wife and me. It was so simple once we knew how to do it.

have only used a thin paper type ticket in the fast pass machines - this thing is thicker than a credit card - will it fit?

and since the internet is not recognizing it as annual pass - will the fast pass machines?
