I don't look forward to days spent looking more at my phone than the details in the parks. I hope I'm wrong, but this just seems like it will take away much of the spontaneity I love on vacation.
Like people buying tickets from UT...
Can you still buy tickets from UT and make the Fastpass + reservations or Do you have to have a package to access the reservation system on My Disney Experience?
We don't know the exact details of how this would be handled just yet. But as far as we are expecting, yes...package tickets does not appear to be required.
From the T&C:
A confirmed FastPass+ selection is not valid for admission to any theme or water park and valid park admission is required to make a selection and redeem a FastPass+ selection. To make a FastPass+ selection for you or your Friends, you must retrieve a Resort package reservation including valid park admission through your account or associate valid park admission to your account.
What do you think that language means? Does that have anything to do with the survey question some testers answered? "- Would you buy tickets through Disney in order to use this feature?"
I wonder if this means if I use my DVC for a room, I still have buy my ticket direct? More good questions.

Perhaps when you receive your tickets from UT, you can link (or "associate" to use their words) those to your account using the information on the back of the ticket???
I have a hotel ressie at Art of Animation for March, but was planning on buying the tickets through UT so getting a little antsy about my plans!!
It sounds like to be apart of FP+ you would have to buy tickets through Disney. In addition to room perks (EMH), now they're targeting ticket perks (FP+)... smart.
Hmmm.I missed that part in my reading. But we also know that AP holders should be included, and supposedly DVC members...but not how. And it seems to indicate a way to link tickets to the reservation
I would take the part about associating tickets to the account, to mean Annual Passholders.
I think from this section of the T&C it looks like this is all going to be tied to room/ticket reservations.

I would think so as well.
Giving guests a reason to book packages and not just rooms is smart. I just hope package prices become obscene.
Grrrr, I probably should have bought the stupid PAP at the DVC price. I think you are bit right. DVC members don't need a package, just tickets... Or do we need to buy a package now? A FP plus package? I guess these questions are already on my list above.
DVC would not need a package but tickets yes. I think they are trying to get people to quit holding onto tickets, for year and years and using them.
I think you will need tickets, either MYW or APs that can be linked to your account. Annual Pass can already be done that way by registering your AP.
If you want to use old tickets you will have to turn them in at check in and have them put on your wristband.
I think for months it is going to be mess.
I hope it's settled or somewhat settled by May 2014...
I feel like the next two years, though, will be a true time period.
