Hello Kurt! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I am currently near the end of taking advantage of the same plan that you have scheduled for your upcoming 365 days.
I purchased an
Annual Pass last year, activated it during my early September 2016 Walt Disney World Resort vacation and am a month away from my final visit on the Annual Pass in late August 2017.
In my case, I was able to book FastPass+ Selections up to 60 days in advance due to my Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Reservation regardless of the fact that I had not yet activated my Annual Pass at that time.
Upon checking with Guest Services, I was informed that even without taking advantage of the
benefits of staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, those with yet-to-be-activated Annual Passes may still
book FastPass+ Selections up to 30 days in advance of their visit and for a total of up to 7 days of FastPass+ Selections.
Once your Annual Pass is linked to your My Disney Experience Account, you may make
FastPass+ Selections. Be advised that your FastPass+ Selections will not be activated until you visit a Cast Member at a Walt Disney World Resort Theme Park Ticket Window to have your Annual Pass activated.
Be sure to take advantage of all of the
discounts and benefits available to Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholders, especially the amazing deals offered as part of the 45th Anniversary Celebration for Magic Kingdom.
Enjoy Your Pass!
