Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Anna! How exciting! You have a Walt Disney World Resort vacation in the works! Thanks so much for sending us your question.
As long as you have your
MagicBands in your possession, you can absolutely use them before you actually check in to your Disney Resort hotel. Just make sure that you have your
theme park tickets linked to your My Disney Experience account, so that you can use the bands to enter the theme parks.
Anna, you can go ahead and make your
FastPass+ selections 60-days before you check in to your Disney Resort hotel. For the days you are staying off-site, you can still make selections 30-days before your visit!
Dining reservations can be made up to 180 days before your magical vacation. Linking those reservations to your My Disney Experience account, will make it so easy. That way you will be able to have all of your plans in the same place! Downloading the
My Disney Experience app to your smartphone before your visit is easy, and it will help you have all of your vacation information in the palm of your hand!
I hope this information is helpful to you. Please feel free to come back to see us if you have any more planning questions. Helping you with the details of your next
magical visit is our pleasure!
