FP+ day of?

[3BratsToDisney]

Unfortunately when we bought our tickets (thru DH work) he didn't realize when he opted for the "will pick up" option that we don't have the ticket numbers to input on our MDE. So now we cannot book any advanced fastpasses till the day we pick them up (which is the day we arrive in Orlando) That gives us only really one day advance to book any fastpasses for the following day and the remainder of the week. We are going the last week of July/first week of August if that helps? So basically my question is would we have any shot at fastpasses at all for some of the more popular attractions like 7DMT, Soarin, TT, TSMM, etc? Has anyone had luck getting Fastpasses the day of going to a park as well?

Did it give you a print off to take with you to ticket pick up?

If so there might be some hope. You can still link will call tickets to MDE if you have the information needed.

Day of you should be able to get everything except 7DMT. I've gotten day off in slow season and busy season with FP+ there just may not be early morning fp available. The one day advance should also work in your favor in you can't get the will call voucher to link.

ah sorry I should of clarified it further, the tickets were thru a third party from DH work, we pick them up outside of Disney, think the name of it is Best of Orlando? All we have is a printed confirmation sheet with a confirmation number on it and other info such as address/etc. I tried contacting by phone, no luck in actually getting to speak to a live person and then it proceeds to tell you to send emails only for any inquiries, and so far I've not received a reply back so I'm not expecting any luck with that.

7DMT and Elsa/Anna are the only 2 that are guaranteed sold out day before. Soarin and TSMM you should be able to get later in the day everything else should be available

Hm I have used those sorts of programs before. Maybe if you call Disney IT they can help you link it?

Sounds like they bought them through a ticket reseller. If the reseller isn't able to get them the numbers from the tickets ahead of time, they're out of luck until they actually have the tickets in-hand.

And to ease the mind of the OP and so they know what to expect, here are the FP+ that right now (11:45pm Tuesday July 1) are listed as having *no* availability for tomorrow (Wed, July 2nd):
-Festival of Fantasy parade viewing area
-Anna & Elsa
-Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
-Wishes viewing area

That's it. The Mountains, Soarin, Test Track, TSMM and everything else has at least some kind of availability. (That's not saying that the times available will work for you, or that all of your choices have availability that doesn't overlap with each other, but there's at least availability)

Yup. Correct. That's what I guessed, DH when he booked the tickets didn't realize at first we should of just had them mailed or done e-tickets, instead of opting to pick them up - oh well lesson learned! Hopefully we won't run into issues once we get the tickets and have to link them up to MDE.
