First time in a couple years - questions!

[Belleoftheballl]

hey guys!

I just booked a trip out of nowhere to Disneyworld. I had westjet credits I needed to use up and found a deal to Orlando in April. I wasn't even planning on taking a trip in April let alone to Florida but my god why not! It's my most favourite place in the world.

I have been twice since the magic bands and FP+ but this time I am not staying on Disney property.
Does this mean I don't get magic bands or FP+ or early entry ?

Sorry about my questions! Thanks in advance!

Magic bands are free to those staying on site. If you have previous magic bands you can use them, if not then you can purchase one at many different places at wdw or just use the plastic card

FP's are for everyone, not just on site guests. However on site guests can book further in advance. On-site guests can book 60 days out while off site is 30 days out.

Only on site guests get early entry which is called extra magic hours. Usually one out of the 4 parks a day will have morning extra magic hours (1 hour prior to regular park opening) and another will usually have evening extra magic hours (2 hours after regular park closing). If you're off site it's best to avoid a park with morning emh. Off site guests are not kicked out of the park during evening emh but they are not allowed to ride any rides. They enforce this by scanning magic bands or cards at ride entrances to verify on site hotel guests

1. Does this mean I don't get magic bands
2. or FP+ or
3. early entry ?

1. Not NEW ones. You can use your old ones, again.
2. If you buy your tickets in time to do so, you can book FP+ starting 30 days before your first park day.
3. No Extra Magic Hours, AM or PM.
