Magic Bands/renting DVC points/FP+

[leebee]

I have looked and looked and can't find an answer to my question. Also, if this is better on the DVC page, please move it!

QUESTION: If I have rented DVC points for my reservation, will I receive magic bands in the mail? Will I be able to make FP+ reservations?

Thank you!!

After the reservation is made you will receive a reservation #.

You will need to link the reservation # up to your MDE account. Then customize your MB's and, if there is enough time before your check-in date, MBs will be mailed to your home. Also, make sure the reservation has your correct name and address.

Yes and yes. (You have to link the DVC reservation and tickets to your MDE)

You should receive bands for the DVC stay, but I think you'll only be able to make FP+ reservations if you have park tickets linked to that reservation (or have an AP???).

Kind of confusing, but here's how that played out for us . . . Had a package booked with free dining at Poly beginning 11/30. Decided to head down a couple of days early and rented points for 2 nights at Kidani beginning 11/28. After studying the ticket sticky and posting a couple of questions here, I was pretty sure we'd be able to access our package tickets on the 28th, but we were not able to reserve FP+ for those days because the park tickets were linked to the other reservation. We got two sets of magic bands, but once we checked in they were interchangeable.

Yes and yes. I've done it twice since MB came out and it's work perfectly for us. For my upcoming trip in three weeks, we rented DVC points, bought tickets from our DVC rental travel agency and we already have our MB and our FP+ selections done.

Yes, once I got my copy of our resort ressie from the owner who set it up for us, I had a ressie number to set up my MDE account. I had bought my tickets earlier thru Undercover Tickets. So, if you have the ressie number and tickets, you're all set to be able to set up your account and FP+s once you are within 60 days of your trip. It worked just like any other reservation that is not DVC.
