Can Day Guests (Park Tickets Only) Book FastPasses In Advance?

Mickey Touchpoint for FastPass+
Sometimes, families that I work with are just looking for Disney Park Tickets, as opposed to a full-on Disney World package. Maybe they are staying at an off-property hotel, maybe they will be visiting family in the area... who knows? With the new My Magic+ system, though, there are a couple of things that I like to let them know about, to make sure that they get to take advantage of one of the biggest perks - booking up to 3 FastPass+ reservations ahead of time!

Day Guests (that's what Disney calls our families who have only park tickets) can begin booking their FastPass reservations up to 30 days in advance of their trip. So, you are going to be a Day Guest, then you should consider purchasing your tickets at least 30 days in advance of your trip. Even though you buy the tickets ahead of time, you won't be receiving them until you pick them up from the Will Call window at any of the Disney Parks. You will, however, receive a confirmation number upon completion of your purchase. That number is going to be important, because it's the one that you will link to your Disney Account. Once you've got it, you can simply head to StartYourDisneyExperience.com, select the Link Tickets, and put in you ticket information.

I mentioned that one of the most significant reasons that this is such a solid plan is your ability to book FastPasses. But, why? Well, because every other Disney World Guest who does go through the process of linking their reservation or their tickets to their My Disney Experience account can do it. That means that, if you don't, the thousands of them will have first crack at some of the busier rides such as The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (Magic Kingdom), Soarin' or Test Track (Epcot), Toy Story Midway Mania (Hollywood Studios), and Kilimanjaro Safari (Animal Kingdom), just to name a few. Even forgetting about them, while locking in your ride times a month before your vacation may seem like a lot, it's totally better having to focus on running to rides and grabbing FastPasses inn from the time your day begins. You can learn even more about the new FastPass+ System in this Beginner's Guide To FastPass+.

Enjoy!
