ticket/booking FP and dinning questions

[kelmac284]

We are going next June of 16 and we haven't been in 6 years so not since all the new FP+ etc. My question is we are staying offsite in our timeshare. I know we can't book dinning till 180 days and no fp till 30 days. My question is do you have to have tickets to book the dinning? I know usually they link things to your resort reservations but since we aren't staying onsite I wasn't sure how that worked.

We are planning on buying 2 AP's for my mom and I and 3 base tickets for my kids and father. I'm assuming we all need tickets to book or can we just buy 1 AP and book the dinning for all of us and then buy the rest of the tickets when it gets closer to the trip?

TIA for any and all help!

1. No.
2. Dining booking is not linked to tickets or a resort stay.

BUT, you all DO need tickets (or to have ORDERED tickets or vouchers) in order to book FP+ in advance.
