Any issue with all 6 attendees on one Disney account? Too late for them to start their own?

[atlbraves49]

We booked our on-site reservation and park tickets using one Disney account. Two parents, two grandparents, and two children.

Is there any issue with proceeding like this? Is there any benefit to other party members creating their new account? If so, is it easy enough to "share" the already purchased tickets to their new account? Want to avoid screwing up what we already have set up...

So far on the one account we have:
- 4-day park tickets and park reservations, for each member
- Restaurant reservations with each member included on the reservation
- 1 week stay at on-site DVC resort

Personally, I'd keep every thing as it is now, as long as you're not worried about someone accidentally canceling something, especially if your trip is coming up in a month or two. Only responsible people should be allowed to log in to that one MDE account, though! If the trip is longer away than that, you might have the grandparents set up their own account, but it's too easy for things to go awry when trying to link a new MDE account to a pre-existing person in the F&F list of another MDE account. You could end up spending time on hold on the phone with IT trying to straighten things out. I might add that in my opinion, only people who will likely be planning a WDW trip separate from you need their own MDE account, e.g. our son has an MDE account that his wife logs into, same for our daughter and son-in-law. If the grandparents aren't likely to be going on their own, they can log into your account.

Good to know. Yes we'll all be sticking together. We're going in October so while there's still time to adjust if needed, maybe I'll just provide login access to my single account that has all the reservations/tickets on it.

That's what I'd do. Just don't give access to anyone who doesn't understand that MDE is not an app to play with, e.g. don't click Cancel just to see what happens!

Dh, and I and our 4 adult kids and dil used my app account in June. No issues. It was easy to pass a phone around as we waited in line for our 1st ride of the day to order lunch.

We also had 7 of us trying for Rotr boarding groups for our 2 DHS days. 2 different people had success for each of our days

I booked the reservation for our entire party of 5 (all adults) as you did. Then my daughter and husband decide they wanted to have the app and to be able to see our reservations. I invited both of them to join my plans and they both had to create Disney accounts after they accepted but then it worked fine. The only issue was that first they could only see themselves and me - not the entire group. they then ended up sending invitations to each other and back to me for the other two that I still had sole control over and after that we could all see all five people. It sounds more complicated than it was.
