Magic bands if tickets purchased from Undercover Tourist??

[BYC]

It looks like we will be renting points for a villa for our next trip. 2 questions for those of you in the know....Can we still buy the dining plan?? ...AND...If we buy our tickets from Undercover Tourist, will we still receive Magic Bands from Disney in the mail?? Thank you!!

The free magic bands come with the room, not the tickets, so yes, you'll get them. You'll need to add the tickets to your MDE account manually, but it's very easy.

The person you're renting from can put in the dining plan request for you. The tricky part is handling payment. If you're using a rental broker, they'll handle that for you.

The broker said if we don't want to give a credit card number for the dining plan, we can use Disney Gift Cards. So that's what I am going to do. Saving them up, and consolidating them now! Our trip is not till late 2017.

The broker I'm using says, at least on their web page, that they don't take gift cards or bank transfers. Just credit cards, and they add the credit card fee the amount. But in exchange, they're processing the payment and not giving the credit card info to the owner renting the points to you.

This was a non-issue for us. The dining plan isn't anywhere close to being a good deal the way we eat and with the special events we planned. Instead, we're getting breakfast foods delivered.
