Early fastpass access??

dsanner106 · Jan 16, 2018

Hi,
I understand we can get fastpasses 30 days in advance with our reservations, for some reason I was thinking there was another option that allowed 60 day advance fastpasses. It is entirely possible this is just wishful thinking but thought I would ask on the boards.
Thanks

If you are staying at a Disney Resort (including Swan/Dolphin and most Disney Springs Hotels), you can make your FP+ selections beginning at 60 days from your check-in date (as long as your room & tickets are linked to MDE).

If you are not staying at an eligible resort and have tickets linked to MDE, you can make FP+ selections at 30 days from date of use.

That is exactly what I was thinking but I have my stay saved to my MDE account and my passes, but still only see a 30 day window. Not sure why I am having an issue actually, I suppose I will call in.

Are you 60 days or less from your check-in date? You won't see the 60 day booking window until you ARE 60 days from check-in.

If more than 60 days out, you will only see a rolling 30 day booking window since you have park admission linked to MDE.

Did you 'move' the calendar to you arrival date? Are you within your 60 day window now?

You don’t see 60 days until you’re within 60 days.

Just because you have a reservation 75 days away doesn’t mean you’re allowed to make FP’s 50 days from now.

Same. My 60 day window was January 10. On January 9 I could only see 30 days in advance, but right at 7AM on the 10th the 60 day window opened up.

On another note, we have a reservation at SSR for October. I am not getting any tickets until we arrive at the resort. I do have some very old tickets that are non-expiring PH tickets, but I am sure I cannot add those ticket numbers onto my resort reservation since they are so old. I plan on exchanging them towards new tickets. Can I still make FP reservations at 60 or 30 days or not?

You must have park admission linked to MDE in order to make advance FP+ selections.

That's what I was afraid of. How in the world will I ever use these unexpired days on my unexpiring tickets if I can't do anything with them until I actually get to the parks? I hate throwing money out the window.

How old are they? You should be able to add them to your MDE account. If they’re too old, they may need to be converted first. Some folks have had success over the phone.

I have "non expiring" tickets on my MDE account. If you have the actual tickets on hand, you can add them to your MDE account at any time. The number is on the back of the ticket. They will be recognized, and the system will know how many days you have left on them.

It depends on how old the tickets are. I had a complimentary park hopper from 1992 that could not be added to MDE. My first trip to guest services the lady said hey would not convert it to a new ticket but when I wanted to use it to call IT and give them the info and they would manually create my FP (obviously that would not be helpful for things like FOP that can be gone at 60 days if you don’t book when the FP window opens). On a future trip I tried again at a different guest services location and they converted the ticket to a new complimentary one that could be added to MDE. So now I can do my FP whenever I decide to redeem it.

2 things:

1. Why are you not getting tickets until you arrive at the resort? It's cheaper to do Undercover Tourist, and even if you want to do direct from Disney, you can do that in advance.

2. If you have really old tickets, they will exchange them for new only giving you credit for what they were worth back then. You're much better off just using them.

blondietink · Jan 18, 2018

I would just use them, but I cannot enter them in the system for some reason.

gharter · Jan 21, 2018

I would call MS to see if they can help link your tickets to your account. Without tickets linked to your account (even if they are not activated). Once you have tickets inked to your account, you will be able to do fastpasses at the 60 day window. It will not show up until the 60 day mark.
