Yes, no ones going to check up on you .

You can check-in online, then you just have to pick up your bands (+parking pass) from the main desk. We did this last year, actually stopped off to have a wander round FW before heading back out to the parks.

Are you taking about Fort Wilderness or is there a separate Camping site?

Thank you...

And just to confirm:-
If i book a pitch for one day for 5 people how many Magic bands do I get, how may days of parking passes and this does enable me to book fastpasses for the 2 week duration of our off site holiday?

This sound great if its true.

Yes i couldn't work out how to book at all until some kind dibber pointed me in the direction of the United States English button. And with regards to people not actually staying i don't suppose Disney care... less cleaning up to do!

You get magic bands for everyone in your party (you need to have them all in your friends and family list on MDE) so yes 5 magic bands.
You get parking for every day when onsite, including arrival and departure days. So 1 night gives 2 days free parking.
You can book fastpasses at 60 days for the length of your ticket. So if you have a UK 14 day ticket, you can fp for all 14 days BUT You can initially only book 60 days ahead of your check-in day for your onsite days. Then you can book day by day at 60 days ahead of the actual day.

Yep you get fastpasses at 60 days, one day at a time, for the duration of your tickets which you have linked to MDE. I know this for a fact because we go in a month and booked everything at 60 days based on a 1 night stay at Fort Wilderness campsite. Only counts from day of reservation onwards so we have booked for beginning of holiday. We will have free parking at parks check in and check out day and have already been invited to customise our free magic bands. And we get Evening Magic hours at Pandora check in and check out day. Amazing deal.

Thank you. You're being exceptionally helpful.

Final question:

We have booked out trip through Kenwood Travel and the balance is due in a week or two so we don't have our Park tickets yet. I do have a MDE account from a previous year but this years tickets arn't yet associated with it. Should I wait until we have paid Kenwood our balance and associated our park tickets on MSE before booking a 1 day pitch to gain the all benefits you mention?

Your very welcome, happy to help.

I think you should be fine to book now then add the tickets when you get the details from Kenwood. Personally I would book it now (as availability can be an issue).
I'm sure Disney would fix it if, for some reason the 60 day FP didn't show on MDE when you add your tickets.
