Offsite/onsite ticket question

[Holly324]

Okay, I am not sure if I am posting this in the right forum, but here goes. We are planning a split stay, offsite for 4 days and onsite for 4 days. If we purchase tickets from UT or Parksavers, can we link them to the magic bands that we have for the onsite portion of our stay? If we do that, will the tickets automatically not be activated until we check in at our hotel? Or will we be able to use them for those first couple of days before we check in onsite? Hopefully this question makes sense. Thanks!

You'll link them to your MDE account and your MBs provide the link to them at park entrances.

If we do that, will the tickets automatically not be activated until we check in at our hotel?

Your tickets are active as soon as you purchase them.

Or will we be able to use them for those first couple of days before we check in onsite?

Yes.

Your tickets aren't linked to your Magic Bands, they're linked to your MDE account - Magic Bands are just the means to access what's in your MDE account. Since you're not going to buy a package, the tickets can be used whenever you want - they're not connected to your stay. (And actually, even if they were part of a package, you can use them up to 10 days before the start of your package.)

Thanks all. I was told that if I bought a package deal with the onsite portion that the tickets would not be active until I checked in. Glad to know that either way, we are good to go. Thank you!!
