Magic Band Question - Onsite for a few days and offsite for a few days

[disneyshan]

We are staying at AKL for the first two nights so that we can take advantage of early magic hours for our main parks (animal kingdom the first day and magic kingdom the second day). We are then staying offsite for the next 5 nights and only going back to the parks for two half days at the very end. When I booked it on the phone, the CM said it was no problem to book the extra park days with teh package and even choose our fast pass +'s for those two days in advance even though we are only at a Disney hotel for two nights.

My question is, now that everything is done onsite with Magic Bands, will I still use the magic bands as our tickets for the last two park days even though we aren't at a resort? Will they transfer the remaining days to paper tickets? If we have the tickets on the magic bands will be be able to get in early for extra magic hours even though we technically are not onsite anymore?

And, we purchased memory maker - will that still be done with the magic band for the whole time?

These may be questions to ask right to a CM, but thought I'd give it a try here!

Thanks!

Yes, you will use the bands.

There are no more paper tickets. There are bands, and RFID cards.

There are no tickets stored on the bands. The bands are just a method of reading your My Disney Experience account. If you have the tickets linked to your account, you will be able to use your Magic Bands for park entrance as long as the tickets are valid.

If you want a card issued, you can ask at Guest Relations. But it won't make any difference whether you use the card or the band, unless you have a preference for one over the other.

If we have the tickets on the magic bands will be be able to get in early for extra magic hours even though we technically are not onsite anymore?

No, because you need to be staying onsite for that - nothing to do with your tickets.
