Welcome, Gemma! This is a great question about
FastPass+ at Walt Disney World Resort!
You are correct, of course! For example, if you are staying off-property at non-Disney Resort hotel accommodations starting February 16, 2019, then your FastPass+ booking window will open January 17, 2019. You may then select 3 FastPass+ attractions, up to 30 days in advance of each theme park visit day. In other words, you can only book one day's worth of FastPass+ entitlements 30 days in advance of each visit day. Then, on January 18, 2019 you could make FastPass+ choices for February 17, 2019, and so on. You may begin reserving selections at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time online, or from your smartphone using the My Disney Experience mobile app.
If, however, you were to stay inside the magic at a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you could start making FastPass+ selections as early as 60 days prior to your Check-In date. So, for an arrival date of February 16, 2019, your FastPass+ booking window would open this December 18, 2018. On that 60-day mark, the system would allow you to choose 3 FastPass+ selections per day, for the 'length of stay', which may be 14-days if you purchased the
14-Day Ultimate Ticket.
Disney Mom Tip: When your FastPass+ booking window opens, choose the most popular rides and attractions first. In some instances, availability can decrease by the minute! For example, Avatar Flight of Passage and Slinky Dog Dash are two highly sought after FastPass+ options you won't want to miss!
I hope you found this information useful, Gemma. Please write back with more questions as you continue to plan your visit to Walt Disney World Resort!
