Offsite Friends Questions

[klwdisney]

Hi! I have friends going to WDW in June and staying at a condo offsite and are completely clueless. I have only ever stayed onsite. They have questions that I honestly don't know the answers to so I'm hoping you all can help!!

I advised them to set up a My Disney Experience account. They have 5 day base passes (non hopper). Can they link the passes to the account even if they do not have a Room Reservation?

I told them they had to wait until 30 days out to make their FP reservations, but now I think I remember reading somewhere that it had been changed to 60 for offsite guests. Can anyone confirm this?

That’s only at a select few hotels. An off-site condo would not get the 60 day FP perk.

Ok good to know! Thank you! So 30 days it is.

Yes, they can link their tickets to MDE. The 60 day FP for offsite guests is only for specific hotels in Disney Springs. Staying in a condo, they can book their FP at 30 days from each park day (one day at a time).

And tell them they for sure should link their tickets to their MDE account before that 30th day prior. You can't make FP without tickets.

I would link them a week or more in advance in case there's a problem they have to deal with calling Disney IT to fix it. (Hopefully it will all be fine.) I'd also suggest to them booking FP for a few days away, to make sure it works, then cancel those right away (b/c they will only be able to book 5 total days of FP so don't want the 'practice' FP to take up a day.)
