Hello Lynne and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
As the current British Mum here on the Panel I'm always super happy to offer some pixie dusted advice to another lovely Guest who like me visits Walt Disney World Resort from the United Kingdom!
I can just imagine how excited you must be feeling now your jolly June holiday to stay at the beautiful
Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista is right around the river bend and as you rightly say Guests staying in select Disney
good neighbour hotels do indeed have the magical perk of being able to make
FastPass+ selections 60 days prior to their check-in date plus can also benefit from
Extra Magic Hours.
I'm happy to share that to enable the ability to make FastPass+ selections Guest need to have a valid Disney Theme Park Ticket or
Annual Pass linked to their
My Disney Experience. Therefore with the information you've kindly provided and if your confirmed check-in date at Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista is within 60 days of May 8th 2018 - I think it may indeed be possible to begin securing those all important FastPass+ selections!
Wishing you an extra magical upcoming holiday to the wonder and enchantment of Walt Disney World Resort where from this coming June 30th you'll be able to shrink down to the size of a toy and join Andy in his backyard in Toy Story Land at
Disney's Hollywood Studios.
