Hello Joanne,
Apologies are not necessary; I'm just so pleased you've stopped by the Disney Parks Moms Panel because you've come to exactly the right spot for an explanation of
FastPass+ and how to make selections for Attractions and meeting favorite Disney Characters during your next visit to Walt Disney World Resort.
The first thing I recommend is to create a
My Disney Experience account and download
My Disney Experience Mobile App for your phone.
My Disney Experience is where Guests make and store
FastPass+ selections plus it also acts as a Theme Park map and times guide, stores Advanced Dining Reservations and much more!
To enable Guests who are not staying in a Disney owned and run Resort to make
FastPass+ selections up to 30 days before arrival at any of Disney's Theme Parks they must first have a valid Theme Park ticket linked to
My Disney Experience.
However it
is possible to make
FastPass+ selections on the day of your trip to Walt Disney World Resort by visiting one of the many
FastPass+ Kiosks found inside each Disney Theme Park. If assistance is required there will be a knowledgeable Cast Member on hand to help make your selections.
I should advise that many of the popular Attractions at Walt Disney World Resort can quickly run out of
FastPass+ making planning ahead the key to enjoying a magical time.
