Help....I'm so confused

[kasowell]

This new fast pass+ stuff is confusing me. I've read countless posts but I'm going blurry eyed trying to figure it out. We are buying annual passes the end of February and wondering how this all works. So here's my questions.
1. Do AP get the arm bands?
2. Is the only way to get fast passes is at the kiosks and not at individual rides anymore?
3. We are staying offsite how does that work for fast pass?
4. Anything else?

1. Only if staying at a WDW resort.
2. If not staying at WDW resort, yes. (Some kiosks are near some rides, of course.)
3. You can use your plastic RFID ticket (no MagicBand) and get 3 FP+ reservations THAT DAY from a
kiosk once inside the park.
4. Lots of things.

So now you can go to one kiosk and get three fast passes for the day, is that correct?
In the past you couldn't get another fast pass until your time had passed so in theory this is actually better.

I just hate that AP holders don't get the band.

1- So now you can go to one kiosk and get three fast passes for the day, is that correct?

2- In the past you couldn't get another fast pass until your time had passed so in theory this is actually better.

3- I just hate that AP holders don't get the band.

1- Yes.

2- If you say so. (The other trade-offs are far, far too limiting to me.)

3- They will eventually. It could happen at any time. Nobody knows when.
