Howdy Kristen!
Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. We are thrilled to hEAR from you!
You don't have to physically have your tickets, but they do need to be linked to your
My Disney Experience account in order to make your
FastPass+ selections. If you purchased your tickets through Disney online, they should already be linked to your My Disney Experience account, if not, you may have to wait in order to
link the tickets to your account by using the number on the back.
I hope I was able to answer your question fully, but if not or if you need any help with
FastPass+ selections, please let me know. Have a wonderful time planning your Disney adventure.
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
