MCMCP paper tickets/fass pass before party ?

[AMS2016]

I have paper tickets to the 12/18/16 party for my group of 7. We also have 3 one day park tickets to use to the other parks - so the MK day is only the party. I bought magic bands for the group, loaded them plus the park day tickets to each person's account.

We have FP for each park on the account, including the 4-7pm before the party. It all went well and I was able to FP for the total of 4 days per person (including the pre-party MK day).

So, my question is; I know to use the paper tickets to get into the party and not the bands (use them on the other three park days). The 3 FPs before the party - where are they stored? Will they be on the bands? (It appears they are in the account). Or are they attached to the paper tickets? (seems unlikely). Just want to know what to show for the first SM FP, after entering MK.

Does this make sense?

Thanks!

The account itself holds your fastpasses. Your magic bands are only used as a means to retrieve them. Nothing is stored on the bands themselves, they are just used to retrieve your account information.
Before the party you can take your paper tickets to a ticket window and have them traded for a plastic card (same use as a magic band they are used to retrieve your account information), which you can then use for your fastpasses. But your magic bands will also work for your fastpasses if they are all linked properly.

I hope this helps!

Excellent! Thank you for your quick response. It appears that everything is linked up right. Our first FP is immediately upon arrival. I don't want to get there, not be able to use it right away and then lose it. I may just turn the paper ones into the plastic card so that we have those plus the bands.

You can use your magic bands for the party as well.
They will have separate tapstiles open for MVMCP only.
If you want to use the plastic card to give you peace of mind then go for it.

The FP+ selections are stored in MDE.
You can use the plstic card or the magic band to use your FP+ selections.
