Can someone give me a rundown on fastpass plus for offsite guests?

[MagicalMerida]

So because I usually stay onsite, I haven't really been paying attention to the stuff on fastpass plus for offsite guests, but a friend of mine is going on July and staying offsite and she wants to know about fastpass plus, so I was wondering if someone could give me so e information? Thanks

Unless something changes, your friend will have to wait until arriving at the park to reserve any fp+ reservations. They will need to go to one of the kiosks to make the selections.The only way around this at this time is if you already have a magicband from a previous stay. If you do and have a linked ticket, then you can make fp+ reservations.

Offsite folks can make same day FP+ selections at kiosks scattered throughout the parks. Same choices as onsite...3 per day, same park, tiering at Epcot and Studios.

subbing... we have friends coming too.

Do they need to sign up for the MDE app to get FP+? It sounds like they don't for the kiosks, but if they do they should do that before they get to the parks.
