My Disney Experience

Want FAST PASSES? You and your friends want to make DINING RESERVATIONS? Use My Disney Experience for all your needs.

If you register for fast passes, please view the tentative itinerary to make sure that you are getting fast passes for the parks we will be in each day. Note that everyone must have a buddy at all times... so be sure your buddy is also getting the same fast passes with you! To get fast passes together students will need to link their Disney My Experience accounts together, that is the only way the fast passes will in all probability be at the same time. This may take some planning and communication prior to registering for fast passes. Also note, that if the itinerary changes, you may not be able to use all of your fast passes (there is no penalty, they will just expire).
