Disney FastPass+ Service Enhancements at Walt Disney World Resort

My Magic Plus Disney Annual Passes  Reserve access to select attractions and entertainment experiences before you even leave home and modify on-the-go with Disney FastPass+ service. And best of all, it’s included with your Theme Park admission.

Disney announced that all Walt Disney World® Resort Guests will be able to make additional FastPass+ selections at in-park kiosks after they have redeemed their original (up to three) selections.

  • Guests will be able to make one additional selection at a time, based on availability. After they redeem that additional selection, they can go to a FastPass+ kiosk to make another selection, and so on. (The additional FastPass+ selections must be made at a kiosk only.)
  • Guests will be able to make their additional selection(s) for an experience at which they already redeemed a FastPass+ selection earlier that day.
  • Guests with valid park-hopping privileges will be able to make their additional selection(s) at another park. Those selections must be made at a kiosk in the park where the desired experience is located.

 

More Tips for Using My Disney Experience

 My Magic Plus Disney Annual Passes  Recently, Disney shared some tips to help you plan a Walt Disney World vacation via the My Disney Experience site. Here are some additional tips to help you make the most out of the My Disney Experience website.

Linking Theme Park Tickets

Tip #1 – Before linking Theme Park Tickets, you should set up your additional party members in the ‘Family and Friends’ section. Once this has been completed, you should assign one Theme Park ticket to each of the party members in the drop down list.

Tip #2 – If you have multiple tickets linked to your account, you should contact the Help Desk or stop by Guest Services to learn what order the tickets will be used when entering the Theme Parks. It may not be in the order they were linked.  If you are working with a Pixie agent at Pixie Vacations, please contact them and they will help you with everything and also guide you in making the best FastPass+ selections for your Disney vacation.

Tip #3 – If you are not using personalized MagicBands,  write the names of each party member on the RF-enabled card. Knowing which card belongs to which person will help you enter the Theme Parks and the FastPass+ lines more quickly.

Making Disney FastPass+ Selections in Advance

Tip #1 – When you book a stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you can make FastPass+ selections up to 60 days prior to check-in for the entire length of your stay, just like booking dine reservations.?Contact your Pixie at Pixie Vacations to help with these reservations.

Tip #2 – For those that purchase tickets before they arrive, they can choose their FastPass+ experiences up to 30 days in advance of each day of their theme park visit.  This would be mostly for guests not staying on Disney Property in a WDW resort.

MagicBands

Disney Resort hotel Guests receive a MagicBand included with their stay to make their vacation more fun and convenient than ever before. MagicBands are also available for purchase at select merchandise locations for $12.95.  You do not need a MagicBand as an offsite guest to use FastPass+  You can use your Disney park ticket as your FastPass identification and tie it to My Disney Experience.
