How does this work?

We are going next spring (end of Feb/beginning March) for one week...

My aunt always goes with us, but now she is a DVC member, so she wants to "pay" for the room with her points. She has an annual pass.

So, should I give her the money for our park tickets and have her buy them? Or just buy them from undercover tourist? What about Magic Bands? What about Disney Express from the airport? What about My Disney Experience? I do have her log-in info and she lets me use her MDE to make fastpass and dining reservations, should we just do that? Or can I link mine to hers?

Someone give me a step by step breakdown here, lol.....

She says she thinks she gets a discount to buy our park tickets- is that true?

There is no discount currently on daily park admission. There was one recently, but it ended on 3/31.

What about Magic Bands?

Once the room reservation is linked to MDE, there will be an option to customize MagicBands for that stay.

What about Disney Express from the airport?

You can use DME. Since she's the member, she's the one that will need to arrange it for you. She can either call DVC or enter the information into a web form on the member website.

What about My Disney Experience? I do have her log-in info and she lets me use her MDE to make fastpass and dining reservations, should we just do that? Or can I link mine to hers?

You can do it either way. Just make sure that the room reservation and admission are linked to the same account or you will not be able to make FP+ selections at 60 days.

As long as you are staying at a Disney owned & operated resort (which includes DVC Resorts), you are eligible to receive free MagicBands. You just need to link the room reservation to MDE to enable to option to request them.
