Explain FP+ to me if staying offsite

[chapie1968]

I saw that they are now allowing offsite guests to prebook their FP's. How does this work if you have no Disney Reservations?

Do you go to the Disney site and prepurchase you par passes/hoppers and then link the FP to you pass numbers and if I am correct the main difference in booking is you do not get to book as far out as on site guests.

We stayed offsite and booked two weeks before we arrived. I believe the booking window for off site starts at 30 days.

As long as you have valid tickets linked to your MDE account you can book FP+ 30 days in advance if staying off-site.

Yeah, but that's what I am trying to understand. What do you mean by Valid tickets? Any passes I purchase online? Because in reality, the passes don't become active until first day of use. So what happens if I buy 4, 5 day park hoppers today for next month(30 days out) and I book my FP+ for all those days.

Then we decide not to go and push the trip back to September. What happens to the FP's?


Just little questions like these.

If you don't use them they are void. Nothing happens.
