Forgive me if this isn't the correct place to ask, but...
I will be purchasing APs online for my daughter and I for an August 2015 trip. I know we will receive vouchers that we will need to activate when we arrive in WDW. This is my question(s): Will I be able to link the vouchers to My Disney Experience so I can schedule fast passes? If so, that's 60 days in advance, right? Will Magic Bands still be mailed to us? Thank you all for your help.

I am not an Annual Pass holder, but I see no one else has responded yet. Whether you can book FP+ 60 days or 30 days in advance depends on whether you are staying on-site or not. If staying at a Disney resort hotel, you can make FP+ reservations with your AP 60 days in advance. If staying off-site, it's 30 days.

It's really easy to do - once you've linked your AP's, they work like any other ticket/reservation package. 30 day window for booking FP, 60 days if staying on site. The My Disney Experience links to any of your bands/AP/reservations. While I'm not a huge fan of the extra rigor of planning that is required with FastPass+, the technology is pretty amazing.

You will actually get 2 sets of magic bands. The first set before you leave will be for your pop stay. Then after you activate your APs you will have the AP bands sent to you, (after you personalize them) with AP sliders.
