Staying at VB, but going to WDW?

[*pixie*]

We are spending a week at the Vero Beach Resort, but are going to drive to WDW one day to visit the parks. I know I've seen the answer before, but now I can't find it. I'm guessing we won't have the same early booking advantages for fast passes and dining reservations that we would if we were staying onsite? What about parking fees? Anything else I'm not thinking of that I'm used to when staying onsite?

We've never stayed off site when going to the parks, so I'm not sure what my booking windows even are?!

Dining is 180 days for everyone. I would assume you would still have to pay for parking at the parks and it wouldn’t count as staying onsite, but I don’t know. If that’s the case, fastpasses are 30 days out.

If you have an AP, parking is included.

I believe FPs would be 30 days out like other offsite tickets. 180 day ADRs are open to everyone, you do not have to be staying on site to make ADRs.

Parking was $22 at the TTC when we did this exact thing last month.

Leave plenty of time for getting into and out of the park(s). Paying, Parking, tram, security, entry all takes a good amount of time.

Word to this wise - try to get on the road back to VB before it’s too late. We did the Halloween party then drove back at midnight and it was quite the adventure. FL drivers be crazy haha.

FP is 60 days at VB. Not sure about parking.

Really hoping this is the case, can't imagine there's a lot left at 30 days.
