Magicbands, FP+ and DVC

[csmommy]

Hi all - I haven't been back to WDW since the whole Magicbands & FP+ have been instituted. We have 10 day, non-expiring, park hopping with +'s from 3/4 years ago. Is there a thread or posting somewhere I can see how this all works? We will be most likely be going next August. Currently, my questions are as follows:

1. Do DVC'ers get Magicbands?
2. How do I "load" my tickets onto the Magicbands?
3. Magicbands how to's?
4. FP+ how to's?
5. Anything DVC'ers get that others do not?
6. Anything others get that DVC'ers do not?

Thanks!

1. Do DVC'ers get Magicbands?

All Disney Resort Guests and Passholders (with US mailing address) get MagicBands. Disney Resort Guests with a non-US mailing address get their MagicBands at check-in.

2. How do I "load" my tickets onto the Magicbands?

MyDisneyExperience.com. Everything (room reservation, admission, etc) is linked to your My Disney Experience account.

3. Magicbands how to's?

MagicBands are just a tool used to access the information stored in your MDE profile.
