Making FastPass+ reservations can be an exciting part of your next Walt Disney World vacation.\u00a0 If you are staying at a Disney resort, you can make these reservations 60 days in advance of your trip.\u00a0 If you have an annual pass or a ticket you purchased outside of a Disney World package, you can make your FastPass reservations 30 days from your visit.\u00a0 When Disney says 60 days, they aren’t kidding.\u00a0 You can make these selections starting at midnight if you can stay up that late!\u00a0 Disney has two methods you can use to make your selections, either through their mobile app or their website.\u00a0 We will describe how to use the My Disney Experience website to make FastPass+ reservations.<\/p>\n

Since we have annual passes, let’s make a surprise visit to the Magic Kingdom.\u00a0 We will start by logging into the My Disney Experience Website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"fp-0-website\"<\/a>
My Disney Experience Website<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once you get to the website, you will want to use the sign in prompt at the top of the page to enter in your login information.\u00a0 If you haven’t used My Disney Experience or the Disney website before, you will need to create an account.<\/p>\n

\"fp-1-sign-in\"<\/a>
Login to the My Disney Experience Website<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After you login, you should be able to start making reservations if you have entered in your ticket information and you are within the time frame (60 days for Walt Disney Resort Reservations, 30 days otherwise).\u00a0 Select the Get Started button to begin.<\/p>\n

\"fp-2-signed-in\"<\/a>
Initial Screen After Login<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once you have selected Get Started, you should get a listing of all your current reservations.\u00a0 This will include hotel reservations, dining reservations, and FastPass+ selections.\u00a0 To make Fast Pass+ selections, look for the Enjoy FastPass+ area and click the Make Selections button.<\/p>\n

\"fp-3-make-selection\"<\/a>
Reservations Screen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You will be brought to the FastPass+ Service screen.\u00a0 From this screen, you can make new FastPass+ selections, update previous selections, or cancel existing selections.\u00a0 We are going to make new selections, so select the New FastPass+ button.<\/p>\n

\"fp-4\"<\/a>
Fast Pass+ Screen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You will now get to select the people in the FastPass+ selection party (who will use the FastPass+ selections).\u00a0 Once you have selected them, select the Next button at the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"fp-5\"<\/a>
New Fast Pass+ Selection Screen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After selecting the FastPass+ participants, you now can select the park and the day of your visit.\u00a0 Once you select the park and the date, you will be shown the hours of operations of the parks and the date you selected will be checked.\u00a0 Select Next at the bottom once you are done.<\/p>\n

\"fp-7\"<\/a>
Park and Date Selected<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You will now be shown all the available attractions at that park for your selected day.\u00a0 As you can see, the Festival of Fantasy Parade attraction has already had its FastPass+ reservations taken for that particular day.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s ok, we probably weren’t going to select that anyway.\u00a0 We will go ahead and take the top three that are listed there.\u00a0 Pick the ones you want and select the Next button at the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"fp-8\"<\/a>
Attraction Selection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You will now be taken to the time selection screen with four possible time selections.\u00a0 Pick whichever one works for you.\u00a0 You can view alternate time selections by clicking on the Tab labeled Option 1, Option 2, etc. Once you have found an option that works well for you, select Next at the bottom.\u00a0 Don’t worry if the times provided aren’t perfect, you can make modifications to individual ride times if needed.\u00a0 We will step through it in a bit.<\/p>\n

\"fp-9\"<\/a>
Time Selection Screen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Congratulations, you’ve now selected three FastPass+ attractions for one day.\u00a0 They should show up in your reservations page and also on your My Disney Experience Mobile App.<\/p>\n

Selected Attractions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, you’ve gotten your three FastPass+ attractions, but the time doesn’t work for you on one of them?\u00a0 You can modify the time or even one of the attractions.\u00a0 Let’s step through that process.\u00a0 Instead of selecting New FastPass+ from the FastPass+ service page, instead select Update FastPass+.<\/p>\n

\"fp-12\"<\/a>
Changing Fast Pass+ Selection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You’ll be prompted to select which date you would like to change.\u00a0 Go ahead and use the pull down menu to pick the date and select Continue.<\/p>\n

\"fp-13\"<\/a>
Date Selection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once you have selected the date, you’ll be taken to the list of attractions you have for the date.\u00a0 Don’t like the time you got for Big Thunder?\u00a0 Let’s change that time to a better time, maybe later in the afternoon to give your lunch a little time to settle.\u00a0 Select the highlighted “Select New Time” link that is listed below the arrival time for the FastPass+ time.<\/p>\n

\"fp-14\"<\/a>
Attraction Selection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Select New Time will bring up a pull down that gives you a list of available times.\u00a0 Pick the one that works best for you.<\/p>\n

\"fp-15\"<\/a>

\"fp-16\"<\/a>

Once you’ve picked the new time, select the Update button to lock that selection in.\u00a0 Congratulations, you’ve locked in that new time!<\/p>\n

\"fp-17\"<\/a>
New Time Selected<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you would instead prefer to change one of the selections to a different attraction, you can do that from the same web page.\u00a0 Instead of choosing Select New Time, select Change Experience under the name of the attraction you want to change.<\/p>\n

\"fp-18\"<\/a>
New Time Selection Complete<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You will then be given a list of alternative options to choose from.\u00a0 Dumbo is looking mighty tempting!<\/p>\n

\"fp-19\"<\/a>
Alter Attraction Selection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once you select the new attraction, you will be given a list of times (just like previously).\u00a0 Select the time that works best for you and then select Update!\u00a0 You’ll be up on the flying elephants in no time!<\/p>\n

\"fp-20\"<\/a>
New Attraction and Time Selection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once you have your FastPass+ attractions just as you want them, you can select Close at the bottom to finish out your selections.<\/p>\n

\"fp-21\"<\/a>
Attraction Selection Completed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The last thing you might want to do is to cancel a FastPass+ selection.\u00a0 We will go through this process to release all the FastPass+ selections we just made (note: no actual FastPass+ selections were harmed during this blog post).\u00a0 From the FastPass+ Service page, select the last option, Cancel FastPass+.<\/p>\n

\"fp-22\"<\/a>
Deleting Fast Pass+ Selection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Select the date of the FastPass+ selections you would like to cancel and press Continue.<\/p>\n

\"fp-23\"<\/a>
Date Selection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Select the reservation you’d like to cancel.\u00a0 If you want to cancel the same one for everyone, you will have to go through each party member to do so.\u00a0 The green check box at the top will select everything.\u00a0 Be careful with what you are doing, you might not be able to get your coveted Frozen Meet and Greet back if you release it.\u00a0 Press Next at the bottom once you are done.<\/p>\n

\"fp-24\"<\/a>
Fast Pass+ Cancellation Selection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You will now see a list of all the FastPass+ selections you want to cancel.\u00a0 If you are sure, press Done at the bottom.\u00a0 All your FastPass+ selections will be released back into the available queue.\u00a0 You might just make someone very happy!<\/p>\n

\"fp-25\"<\/a>
Cancellation Confirmation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Using the My Disney Experience website to make and manage your FastPass+ selections is very easy.\u00a0 You can make your selections, change the times or the attractions, and cancel them quickly!\u00a0 If only standing in lines at Disney were this easy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
