Staying One Night Only

[DISfirstTimer]

I am currently planning out first WDW vacation. For a number of reasons we will be staying off-site at WBC for 7 days. I am considering staying at AOA in a Cars Suite for one night prior to this just because I just know the kids will love it. AOA will be our only destination that day. My questions are mostly in regards to the following day when we check out (Day 2):

1. Would we receive Magic Bands that I can use the remainder of our trip?

2. Will we be able to book FP 60 days in advance for Day 2?

3. Will we have free parking at the parks on Day 2?

4. If we elect to get the dining plan do we have through Day 2 to use all credits?

5. We will be needing 5 Da yPark tickets, can we get this with a package with our stay for one night or are we better off booking a Room Only?

Thanks in advance

1. Would we receive Magic Bands that I can use the remainder of our trip?

You can use the MBs for tickets, photopass, and FP purposes. Room charging won't be available after checkout day. And those MBs will be usable for those purposes by your family forevermore. Only the long-range stuff stops working (like for picking up the photos without tapping the band for photopass), really. Well, or things glitch. And if you have another onsite stay if you use the same MDE account you can use those bands for those stays, too (and have the option to order new bands as well).

2. Will we be able to book FP 60 days in advance for Day 2?

I think so... Onsite guests are treated as such from checkin through checkout day.

3. Will we have free parking at the parks on Day 2?

Yes.

4. If we elect to get the dining plan do we have through Day 2 to use all credits?

Yes, but with a one night stay you only get one night of credits.

5. We will be needing 5 Da yPark tickets, can we get this with a package with our stay for one night or are we better off booking a Room Only?

I would just get the tickets you need with that stay. If you want the dining plan then you are already getting a package so you might as well get the tickets you need. If you weren't getting dining and just doing a room-only stay then I'd tell you to look to places like undercovertourist to get the tickets you need.

Great, Thanks! These were the answers I was hoping for.
