If you are from Canada they do not ship the bands internationally - you would actually have to go to the resort, check in, pick up your magic bands in order to use them...
How would this work? Don't the parking passes show the dates that you actually stay onsite and wouldn't you get the pass when you check in? Subtracting the parking fee, you would still pay $66 a night for FP+.Also wondering what would happen if I didn't check in?
The campsites are as low as $80/nt.
Parking for 7 days = $105
It's a win win if I buy a room!
Just for free parking for 7 days it would balance itself out, the FP+ would just be a bonus IMO
Tent or Pop-Up Campsite at Fort Wilderness. Sleeps up to 10, from $49 a night.
Qualifies as "On-Site".

I current have a one night reservation at BC prior to my Dolphin stay in June. I will keep it if it gives me access to FP+ for my vacation (as well as letting the kids experience SAB). I have heard conflicting reports and I am not convinced that they "closed that loophole". I am waiting until the end of March to try it myself. If it doesn't work out, I will simply cancel and stay somewhere much cheaper. I just made a room only reservation, and cancellation is still just 5 days out, so yes you can still get MB's then cancel in time (depending on your moral compass...)

Please don't do this. It is very disheartening to try and book a site to actually go camping, see everything is booked solid, and then hear from people there that a a lot of sites sit empty.
So the Disney agent I spoke to advised that FP is only good for the day before and day after your reservation and free parking is only for the night of your stay. Soooo if people are getting away with the FP for their whole trip and free parking, it's only a matter of time before they catch on and knowing my luck it'll be just when I get there lol
Correct me if I'm wrong...If you don't have a valid ticket attached to your My Disney Experience account, you can't get Fast passes regardless of how many nights you book. We ran into this in October. If they system doesn't "see" that you can get into the parks...how are you going to be able to use a fastpass? You can't. So it doesn't give you the option.
In regards to the parking...parking should only be free until midnight on your check out date. Maybe there's a loophole I haven't heard about but I wouldn't bank on getting a whole week's worth of free parking especially if you didn't even check in.
How would you try it out, don't you have to check in for it to work or to try it?
Don't your days on your magic band start the day you check in?

To try it, you would attach a valid ticket to a room reservation and then try to book FP+ for the length of the ticket at 60 days out. I think the poster is saying that if they see it doesn't work for the length of ticket, then they will just cancel the room reservation.
I thought you had to have Magic bands to book FP+, not just a valid ticket

From first hand experience, the 2nd week of December. I have a timeshare, but booked one night at a resort. Was charged immediately for the room when I made the reservation. I did this mainly to treat some friends that came with us, but they arrived one day earlier than us. Attached all four of our six days UT tickets to the reservation and received the MB's in the mail. Did all five days FP+ on MDE. Funny, because we really didn't need the FP+ on our trip due to low crowds. We did save 15 minutes here or there, but the hassle of being tied down was a little inconvemient. Our friends went to the park on day one, but they were told they needed to check-in to hotel to activate the MB's. After they checked in, all was good and we were all able to use our MB's for FP+ the rest of the stay.
