Our Disney Tickets Are 100% RFID and FastPass+ Enabled

by Leap on June 1, 2021

A Note from Leap: After reopening, Disney World has retired FastPass+. A new offering, called Genie+, has debuted! Hop over to our full post for more information! And guess what? Undercover Tourist offers Disney World tickets WITH Genie+!

All of our Disney World tickets are FastPass+ enabled.

This means you can link your tickets via the My Disney Experience app and website, which allows you to pre-book reservations to attractions and entertainment. Whether you are a resort guest or a park guest, you are allowed to advance book three FastPass+ attraction or entertainment selections per day from any one park.

Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel can make FastPass+ reservations up to 60 days in advance of check-in for their entire length of stay, while guests staying off-site can make reservations up to 30 days in advance of each day of their theme park visit. We recommend that you buy your Disney tickets far enough in advance that you can book your FastPass+ selections 60 or 30 days out. Once your order has been processed, you will get a confirmation email with your ticket number to link your tickets in My Disney Experience. (Note that currently, FastPass services are suspended.)

RFID Tickets & Obtaining MagicBands

MagicBands offer the same touch-to-enter functionality as Disney World RFID-enabled tickets in the parks, but added convenience since you wear the band versus having to pull it out of a pocket, wallet or backpack. MagicBands are available for purchase in the parks, at Disney Springs and online. Disney World Resort hotel guests receive discounted MagicBands. Guests have the option of purchasing MagicBands and linking them to a My Disney Experience profile later, which allows them to be purchased as gifts or for future trips. Disney World RFID-enabled tickets offer the same touch-to-enter functionality at MagicBands. Disney World also introduced a brand-new way to enter the parks with your smartphone or watch, called Disney MagicMobile.

All Undercover Tourist tickets offer the same functionality as a ticket purchased directly from Disney.

You'll find more resources on FastPass+ and Disney World RFID tickets, including answers to common questions, on our Disney FastPass+ Planning page inside the Orlando Planning Timeline. As always, our shipping is free! So let's get that vacation started with Disney World FastPass+ enabled tickets!

My family & i are planning our FIRST trip to Disney, we are staying off site and would like to know the process of purchasing tickets through you. We are looking at the 3-Day Park Hopper + Water Park Fun & More - plus extra day. We plan to purchase the tickets the first week of June. Our trip is June 26th. Is that a good time frame of purchasing the tickets? Would you recommend having them mailed or e-ticket?

FrogBlog Says...

Hi there,

We would recommend you purchase these tickets now, so you can make FastPass+ reservations as soon as possible. If you are staying off-site, you can book ride reservations up to 30 days in advance. You could get them shipped or do E-Tickets, but if you have them shipped, I would suggest you do this today or tomorrow.

Hello

We are planning a trip for Sept 2016..we reserved our Disney hotel and bought 5 day tickets from you. My dilemma however is that we are planning on visiting DInsey 3 days before we check into the hotel (We live in Canada so we wont get our bands until we check in)

If I link my tickets to my account can I use my physical ticket for those 3 days and then it will automatically switch to the bands once we check in?

Thanks!

Hi Jordan,

Yes, you can. Tickets and MagicBands can always be used interchangeably, provided that they are active and linked.

Hi - I am NOT staying at a Disney park and I purchased Disney tickets though you and added them to the MDE app, I also purchased Magic bands through the Disney store and linked those too...does it automatically link them together or am I missing a step? I don't want to have any issues at the gate with my kids in tow....Thanks! Tracy

Shannon Hayes Says...

Tracy, did this in fact work for you? Last year we purchased tickets through here and "linked them to a Magic Band" we'd purchased from Disney Store online. Got to the park and the band would not work, cast members couldn't get it to work and we were essentially out of luck and had to use the card the whole trip. :(

My husband and I have purchased 4 day park hopper tickets for our trip in sept. The tickets are linked to our MDE and show up under tickets and passes. However when we go to look at fast passes it askes me to link my tickets.. When I put in my resort confimation number it says his tickets is already linked (bc as I said we have them linked to us already) are we unable to get past the prove you have tickets point in fast pass bc our 60 day window is not open yet??

Hi Megan,

This is a quirk in the My Disney Experience system. If your Disney hotel reservation is linked in MDE, you should be good to go at the 60-day mark. If your reservation is not showing up, please contact Disney directly.

Hi, I am planning to purchase an e-ticket from UT in the next few days for an upcoming trip and am unsure if I will be required to exchange it at Guest Services for an actual ticket. I am staying onsite therefore will be receive a Magic band but because I am Canadian I won't receive my band until I arrive at my resort. Can I link my ticket to my magic band prior to my arrival in MDE even though I won't actually receive my band until check in?

Mar 2, 2016 at 9:45 a.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Kelly,

You don't actually need to link your ticket to your MagicBand—that will happen automatically once you have linked a ticket and you get your band. As long as you are checking in before you head to the parks, you will be fine and won't need to exchange it.

We have already purchased our tickets from you and linked them to our magic bands for our upcoming stay this January. However, someone in our family may not be able to come with us. How does this affect the ticket? Can it still be used at a later date?

The ticket could be used at a later date, but if it's already linked, either the same person would need to use it, or the ticket would need to be reassigned to someone else in My Disney Experience.

Hi, I purchased tickets from Undercover Tourist and made an on-site hotel reservation through the Disney website. After linking the tickets My Disney Experience still shows that I can only make FastPass+ reservations 30 days in advance. Is this correct? I thought I can make FastPass+ 60 days in advance if staying onsite? Thanks.

Jan 4, 2016 at 8:43 a.m.

Hi Darren,

This is correct. Disney's site is not very good about explaining that you are all set and now ready for your countdown to your 60 days. Once your window opens, you shouldn't have any issues.

Sorry, if this posts twice. I may have already posted as a reply. But:

We have reservations, fast pass and several days left on older park hopping non expiring tickets. We are planning on only park hopping one day so we want to buy tickets here and use them to enter the park most days (5 out of 6). Can we not link the new tickets to our Disney account, enter the park using the tickets and then use our magic bands for the fast pass+.

Just trying to reserve our no expiring and park hopping tickets for the next few years.

Thanks!

Dec 4, 2015 at 12:18 p.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Tim,

You can use your MagicBands no matter what/for whatever tickets you have. As far as prioritizing one set of tickets over others, you need to do this at guest relations when you get to the parks. You can try calling, but we've had mixed luck on getting this done over the phone. It's not a problem.

Ah I think I can add my tickets already but just want to make sure.... lol.. Being sick has had me in a brain fog..... So I am not going again until Oct 2016 but wanted to buy tickets in case of a price hike.... I just received the card in the mail. I am okay to link them to my account now right? And not have to worry until the 60 days to pick my FP+ right? I understand then you cant refund and that is all fine. I just dont want to link them and it some how start counting off my days already ahah.

Dec 4, 2015 at 12:38 a.m.

Tim Says...

A question: I have older park hopping non-expiring tickets associated with my magic bands and my Disney account. These are flexible tickets that i would like to use selectively.

For an upcoming trip, I've got hotel reservations and fast pass selections. I'm thinking about buying tickets here, but don't want to link them to my magic bands. So, can I enter the park on the tickets and then still use my magic bands for fastpass+? Or do I have to enter the park on the ticket or magic band that has the fastpass reservation?

Thanks!

Dec 7, 2015 at 6:55 a.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Tim,

If you want to link both sets of tickets, you can have them prioritized at guest relations. My guess is you are trying to do this yourself by keeping them separate. So you could make FastPass+ reservations using your No Expire ticket and then actually enter the park with your new physical ticket, but once inside, I am not 100% certain you would be able to use your MagicBand with the FastPass+ reservations. Maybe someone reading has had the same experience and can share.

I have had a similar situation with No Expire tickets and then new sets of tickets, but haven't tried what you are proposing, because I've linked all my tickets and just had them prioritized at guest relations. Yes, it's another line you have to wait in, but a small price to pay so that you don't use the wrong ticket. Hopefully, Disney will at some point give us the ability to prioritize our own tickets.

Hi Lizzette,

If we buy tickets and dont have time for mailing, will they be held for us at Will Call? Can we get the magic bands when we arrive too?

Hi Claudia,

If you choose E-Tickets they will be emailed to you. You would be able to link these tickets in My Disney Experience and use your MagicBands to enter the park. If you do not have MagicBands before you get to the park, you would need to exchange the E-ticket for physical tickets at will call outside the park or at Disney Springs.

You can purchase your MagicBands at many Disney World locations, including Disney Springs.

I have been reading these questions & answers and am confused. Is there any disadvantage to purchasing e -tickets from you, instead of mailed ones. Wondering why people are asking to get their ticket numbers over the phone while they wait for the mailed tickets. Wouldn't it make more sense to purchase an e-ticket, and then be able to link it to MDE right away and start reserving their Fast Pass+ etc. I am getting ready to purchase tickets and e-tickets seem to make the most sense, so just want to make sure I am not missing something.

Aug 13, 2015 at 6:07 a.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Lori,

Thanks for reading! We only recently rolled out Disney E-Tickets, so that is the reason you saw people asking for ticket numbers. The only thing to keep in mind with the E-Tickets is that you must either have or purchase a MagicBand in advance or go to guest relations at the park to exchange them for physical ticket. If you have the MagicBand, though, you can just use that.

Hi,

My inlaws are looking to come with us to Disney this year. In the past we have always come to your site to order Disney cards for a 5 day hopper pass. I suggested that to them and they are asking me if they can just do an eticket instead. I am finding it hard to find decent information about the eticket though. Is it an electronic ticket they get immediately and can just use on their phone to scan into the gates each morning or do they need to go to guest services upon first day of entrance and purchase a magic band to "attach" the eticket to? (If so how much are the bands?) And secondly, would an eticket also have the option of hopper passes? Thank you SO much for any help you can give!

Sep 14, 2015 at 8:54 a.m.

Hi Rachel,

Thank you for recommending us! Your in-laws can get Disney E-Tickets for Magic Your Way or Park Hoppers. If they attach the tickets to MagicBands, they are good to go when they get to the park. If they do not have MagicBands, they would need to exchange them at guest services for physical tickets.

Just a question on procedure. My plan is to order tickets from you for our trip next year (we are staying offsite). Then at the appropriate times I will make reservations through MDE. I'm still deciding on whether to get Magic Bands or not. If I do, I will order them online. Can the Magic Band be linked anytime? In other words, is it best to link them before or after making reservations, or is there no difference? And what happens to the tickets that have already been linked- could my husband, say, choose to use the ticket version if he doesn't want a Magic Band?

Aug 3, 2015 at 7:58 a.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Cara,

The bands and tickets can be used interchangably. Both will work. It doesn't matter whether you link your band before or after you make FastPass+ reservations. The important thing is to make sure your tickets are linked before your reservation window opens.

So, just trying to understand the FastPass benefit for off-property families. (I just learned these bands will cost our family about $50. I would rather spend that money elsewhere.) Ques 1. The UCT tickets we received in the mail, that appear like credit cards, are FP enabled, so conceivably, we don't need to buy these bands but can pull out the credit cards at the FP machines, correct? Ques 2, can we still pre-arrange the FP schedule online if we don't have the bands or do we have to wait until they are enabled first on day 1? Thanks so much!

Hi Nicole,

FastPass+ is free, you don't need a credit card, and yes, you can use the tickets you bought from us. They work exactly like MagicBands, which are optional. You can book your FastPass+ reservation up to 30 days in advance of your first day in the theme park. You just need to create an account in MyDisneyExperience and link your tickets. Please check out our brand-new Guide to FastPass+. I think you'll find all of the information you need.

Hi Raza,

The only thing I would need to know is when you plan to use your Disney water fun visits? With the ticket you have, you would get 3 days in the parks and then 3 additional fun visits to spend at the water parks or DisneyQuest. With this plan, you likely wouldn't be able to use all of your fun visits, but this ticket is likely still more economical if you plan to visit a water park than purchasing these tickets separately.

For FastPass+, we've put together a downloadable guide that you can check out. We have a terrific refund policy - you can check out the specifics here!

Hi there,

You would only be able to make reservations 60 days in advance for the days you are staying on-site.

We are traveling in less than two weeks. Will we get our tickets from you in time?

Tracy,

If you add tickets to your cart, you will see ticket shipping times. You can also pick them up in Orlando, or if you are buying Disney tickets, you have the option of E-Ticket delivery.

Sarah Says...

Hi, this is my first time using fast pass plus and i am trying to link my friend's account with mine so we can make reservations but it says that her account is already linked. Do you know what this means and/or what we can do. This is for a school trip so it may just be the ticket but we aren't sure

Apr 8, 2015 at 7:39 a.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Sarah,

Just to confirm, your friend shows up under your account in the My Family & Friends List in MDE? If not, you will need to add her and she will need to accept her invitation. If she gives you permission to edit, then you can make FastPass+ reservations for her.

Tim Says...

Hello. Sorry if this has already been asked. I'm staying on site and already have tickets. My extended family is going down the same week. If they buy tickets through you, would I be able to link them to my account and do their FP+ at 60 days? I've been getting conflicting answers. A cast member has told me I can do this since my disney experience account would be the primary account, but I keep reading I can't. Any idea?

Hi Tim,

Unless they are staying on-site, I don't think you are going to be successful. But try anyway and let us know what you find out!

Hey how necessary/beneficial are the magic bands if we are staying off site? We just ordered the tickets but got bummed when we realized we weren't going to be receiving the "cool magicbands" in the mail...lol

Hi Lindsey,

The MagicBands offer more convenience than physical tickets. Staying off-site you will be using them or your tickets every time you enter the park, use FastPass+ and take photos with the PhotoPass photographers.

Nathan Says...

Hi, I purchased some Disney tickets from you back in October in preparation for our holiday in May. Even though I can't book any fastpasses yet (due to staying off-site), can I still link the cards to My Disney Experience now? And is it safe to do so - i.e. it won't "activate" the cards as such and start ticking down to expiry?

Thanks!

Mar 23, 2015 at 7:56 a.m.

Hi Nathan,

Yes, you are fine to link your tickets now. Your tickets aren't activated until they are used in the parks.

Carol Says...

One of the members of our group is a FL resident and will be buying his own ticket separately. I know he can't retrieve the RFID card until arrival at the park. But, can I go ahead and get magic bands for all of us and link them all together? Or do we have to wait to link his at will call after he gets the actual RFID card?

Mar 23, 2015 at 8 a.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Carol,

You can go ahead and link MagicBands and accounts now. I would also go ahead and make FastPass+ reservations for everyone except your friend. Once he buys his ticket, then all you would need to do is link the ticket and then try to copy over your FastPass+ reservations to him. Use the app for this, as he can scan the ticket quickly. It's possible he won't get the exact same times, but MDE will attempt to get them close (usually with some overlap provided there is availability).

I purchased 4 park hopper passes through a school fundraiser. We are giving them to my parents to help them save money on their upcoming June trip. My question is-if my parents buy a 1 day magic kingdom ticket, could they then add my 4 park hopper passes to their magic bands? Can they choose which day they use the 1 day ticket and which days they use the park hoppers?

Mar 17, 2015 at 8:32 a.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Kelley,

Yes, you can add all of the tickets in My Disney Experience. In our experience, the first ticket added is the one that gets used first in the parks. But you can call Disney (or go to guest services at the parks) to determine the ticket order, and to reorder it if you would prefer.

Hi. Bought my tickets from you and had them sent to me over email. I've got them in my MyDisneyExperience account and Ive got fast pass times all set up already for our stay in April. We're staying at the Swan hotel. The tickets say I have to take them to Will call when I get there and pick up the REAL tickets. My question is, can I purchase Magicbands and link the tickets so I dont have to do that or am I stuck going to willcall when I arrive no matter what. Looking to save some time if possible.

If you're staying on-site, you may have the option to choose the color for each person before they ship. If you purchased from the Disney Store, you should be able to select your desired colors and then link them to each person when they arrive.

Hi FrogBlog,

We live in Europe country that undercovertourist doesn't offer mail delivery. If for example i buy both WDW and Universal tickets much in advance (like more than half a year in advance) and we book a hotel in advance as well, can i arrange with undercovertourist the ticket delivery to the hotel, so we c, and woud get it on the receiption as soon as we arrive? OR Can both tickets be picked up at the parks' gates what about so much in advance purchase- will they keep them for more than half a year for us? Or may be international delivery still could be arranged with undercovertourist even for non indicated countries? We are going to use all of the transfers and not hire a car, so other local at parks' gate or hotel's receiption pick up point is going to be a problem for us....

You have the option to have your tickets delivered to our Orlando pickup location (you can see details when you add tickets to the shopping cart). For Disney, you would also have E-ticket delivery as an option.

Hi, FrogBlog -

I bought 10-day non-expiring park hopper passes a few years ago. We are planning to use those tickets on WDW trip in early June. How do I go about getting the Fast Pass and Magic Bands with these tickets? Thanks!

Mar 5, 2015 at 12:01 p.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi MickeyMom,

You need to create a My Disney Experience account on the website or the app and then link your tickets to each member of your party. For older tickets, we have found it's easier to use the app, because you can actually scan the bar code rather than key it in. Once your tickets are added, you can walk through the process of making FastPass+ reservations. If you are staying on-site, your MagicBand will be mailed or provided to you upon check-in. If you staying off-site, you can purchase MagicBands online at the Disney Store or in park. Your tickets offer the same functionality as MagicBands, so it is up to you if you wish to purchase them.

We offer more resources on our Guide to FastPass+.

Hope this helps!

Kennedy Says...

The Disney trip I have planned with my family is in 3 weeks, so this is somewhat urgent. I am aware that it is possible to purchase a regular Disney Theme Park ticket at a local Disney Store. My question is: can I purchase a Magic Band at my local Disney Store? Then let's say the day before we enter the theme park, I activate/link the ticket to my Magic Band via the Disney World Experience app. Or is the only way to purchase it online? P.s we're not staying at a Walt Disney Resort.

Mar 2, 2015 at 9:44 a.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Kennedy,

Unfortunately, you can only purchase online or on site. What I would suggest is you go ahead and book FastPass+ reservations if you haven't already. If you are arriving early enough, you could purchase the band at Downtown Disney and then head to the park the next day.

What is the best way to upgrade a discounted UCT WDW ticket (purchased prior to the price increase) to an annual pass? Will I still benefit from the discount and old price, or will Disney charge me for the discount, price increase PLUS the price difference between the regular ticket price and AP?

Mar 2, 2015 at 8:28 a.m.

FrogBlog Says...

Hi Kel,

Your best chance of preserving your savings is to use your ticket at least one day before upgrading. If the cast member helping you doesn't preserve the savings, I would suggest you try a different cast member later.
