Walt Disney World’s FastPass+ Booking system is free for every guest with a valid theme park ticket. There are two major steps to booking your FastPass+ before your arrival that you’ll want to follow.

[/et_pb_fullwidth_header][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.4.1″ custom_padding=”0px||4px|||”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.1″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.1″][et_pb_blurb title=”Getting Started” image=”https://www.parksavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/ezgif.com-resize.png” _builder_version=”4.4.1″ header_level=”h3″ header_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center”]

You’ll want to set-up a My Disney Experience (MDE) account online at Disneyworld.com in order to access the FastPass+ booking system.

Just click “sign-in or create account” to get started. Once this is done you can link your tickets to your account under My Plans -> Park Tickets -> Link Tickets.

Once they are linked and assigned to your family and friends you can start booking!

[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.1″][et_pb_blurb title=”Booking FastPass+” image=”https://www.parksavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/ezgif.com-webp-to-jpg28.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.1″ header_level=”h3″ header_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center”]

This service is completely free and available to every guest visiting the parks. If you’re staying on property you can book FastPass+ 60 days before your first day in the parks.

If you’re staying off property you can book 30 days before your first day in the parks.

Booking windows open at 7am EST and anytime after that all the way up to the day you visit the parks. Each guest is allowed to book 3 FastPass+ attractions per day, at the same park.

Before you start booking make sure you have your tickets linked (step 1) and property hotel linked (if any) in order to qualify for booking.

We realize for some this might not be an option but most guests have access to a smartphone and the official Walt Disney World App will make your vacation so much better. It’s available on both Android and Apple. Once installed, Log-in to your MDE account and see all your plans or you can start making them by doing the following:

Yes, you can bring your own food into the parks. There are lockers for rent inside the parks for storage or if you want to bring in a cooler there are large lockers available outside the parks.

Yes! And it’s highly recommended, especially for bigger attractions. You should be booking 30-60 days in advance based on where you’re staying.

[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.1″][et_pb_blurb title=”Can I Share My Ticket(s) With Someone?” image=”https://www.parksavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/448DC5AE-0E6A-4B6C-AC8F-3CAF54550BDE.jpeg” _builder_version=”4.4.1″ text_orientation=”center”]

No. You cannot rent, split or share your Disney World Tickets. Every ticket must be used by the same person for everyday of the ticket. Your fingerprint is assigned to your ticket.

[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.1″][et_pb_blurb title=”Are There Things For Little Kids To Do?” image=”https://www.parksavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Super-Bowl-Disney-World.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.1″ text_orientation=”center”]

There are things to do for any age at Disney World! The parks have over 80 attractions that have no height requirements so anyone, any age can enjoy them.

I’ve put together an entire list dedicated to what you should pack for your Disney World vacation. Things like sunscreen, good shoes, hand sanitizer & more.

[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.1″][et_pb_blurb title=”Can I Buy Tickets At The Gate?” image=”https://www.parksavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/An-Evening-at-the-Mine-X3.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.1″ text_orientation=”center”]

Yes, but there’s almost no reason to. Standing in a 30 minute line to buy tickets is a waste of time. You should buy them in advance with Park Savers or if you’re there, buy them through the Disney World App.

  • You’ll need 5-7 days in the parks with Park Hopper.
  • Download the Disney World App
  • Stay on property for Extra Magic Hours every day + 60 day FastPass+ booking.
  • Schedule your FastPass+ 60 days out. Push them as early and as close together as possible.
  • Book additional FastPass+ once your initial 3 are used.

No. These are purely an accessory and are not required for entry. Guests who do not have MagicBands will receive RFID enabled tickets.

Extra Magic Hour is for property hotel guests only and is available each morning and evening at one of the 4 theme parks. It changes everyday so be sure to check park times the day before.

There are 4 baby stations, 1 in each park. Here you change diapers, nurse and find a few baby items like pedialite and diapers. Cast Members are available to help with any needs you may have.
