Where can you pick up wristbands besides front gate at MVMCP? and a FP+?

[ruthies12]

We will be entering the park at 11 am on a regular ticket and will need to pick up our wristbands, preferably without going all the way down Main Street through the crowds. Can we pick them up in the park somewhere?

Also can we use our FP+ from our party tickets by scanning the cards without having entered the park on those cards? Or will we need to go out and re-enter to get the FP+ to work?

There will be wristband locations set up in MK. I'm not sure of the exact locations of each, but we always use the one that's set up across from Stitch in Tomorrowland.

A heads up, if you are going to be using FP+ in the morning at MK, your party tickets need to be on a different MDE account to obtain FP+ using the party tickets. You will not be able to book 6 FP+ on one account. Even though there are 2 tickets listed, MDE will only let you book FP+ with one ticket media a day. If you place the party tickets in another MDE account, you would be able to book 3 FP+ from 4-7pm, you can't get FP after the party officially starts.
I'm not sure about having to renter the park for the FP to work.

I did purchase them on a separate MDE account, my husbands, while the rest of the tickets are on my account. I have not linked his account to mine at all so hopefully I won't have a problem doing 6 fp+. I'll probably be very limited in what I can get on the party tickets since I can only book from 4 to 7 and will have to wait until the 30 day mark since it won't be linked to our resort reservation, but will probably still be worthwhile.

I wonder if I should just suck it up and plan to go to the gate and reenter. I'd hate to go to use a fp and have not it not work! Hopefully someone else who has done two tickets in the same day can chime in?

You shouldn't have any problem getting the 6 FP+ then.

If you go to one of the internal check in sites (e.g. across from Stitch in Tomorrowland) the CM will scan your party ticket just as if you are entering the front of the park before putting the wristband on your wrist and giving you a small trick or treat bag.

Don't worry, they'll make absolutely sure you get a wristband. We were in MK all day on our party day, and at 7 pm cast members started blocking the walkways and checking for wristbands. If you need one, they'll point you in the right direction :]

Thanks everyone. Does anyone know of a spot in fantasyland? The reason I'm asking is that we will be on kind of a tight schedule with all I want to do and we have a double stroller and a scooter in our party, so moving through the crowd all together isn't easy and I don't want to be wandering around looking for a station to get the wristband. Also I'm thinking we'll need to do it right at 4 so we can use our fastpasses.

I don't know about Fantasyland but I do vaguely remember there being a pickup station right as you entered Tomorrowland.

Thanks. I am hoping to find something back there as well.

The post you quoted is from last year - it may not be the same this year.
