Magic Band, Fast Pass when staying off property

[Ruppy]

Hi, I have visited WDW multiple times and used to consider myself a fairly experienced user. All I wanted was an 8 day break between now and Thanksgiving week. Usually a dead time, right? Ha! There were no rooms on property that I considered acceptable in price and location. So, I'm sitting here with my exchange certificate (will need to get pass upon arrival), and I booked a room at the Waldorf (golf on and off property, access to nice pools, etc.). How does this work with my fast pass and old magic band (I believe that my certificate is linked to my band).

Can I reserve anything before arrival? Upon arrival, and with a newly issued pass, can I reserve Fast Pass from off property in advance? Or, just how does it work?

Aside: I was also planning to renew Tables in Wonderland (whatever it's called now), but will I be able to get reservations at the parks. Fortunately, I arrive on the 15th so food and wine should be ending.

Any help appreciated.

Link your exchange certificate to your MDE and you can book FPs now. Your MB will provide the link to your FP data at the FP tapstiles.

Start making adrs now. Start making them before you posted.

Fp+ can be arranged 30 days out for offsite guests.

The old MB will be good for admission and fp+s. But you don't have to use it. Is your exchange voucher for an AP? Ticket or ap they should give you a card. If that admission is attached to MDE then it will retrieve the fp+s and allow you into the parks. But if you like the MB then that's fine too.

I have a green exchange certificate for an annual pass. I'll give it a try now.
