booking FP+ for 2 groups different check-in dates

[snayak]

I'm headed to WDW with my DW and another couple in October.

We will be staying on-property at 2 different places (Swan & BC), checking in on 2 different days (10/26 for us and 10/27 for them). It is not a split stay, just 2 families overlapping except we check-in a day earlier

We already have tickets (6 day hoppers); they have AP. We are linked on MDE as Friends & Family.

When my FP+ window opens on 8/26:

1. Will I be able to book FP+ for all 4 of us in the group on 8/26? (my guess is NO since they aren't eligible to book FP+ 8/27)
   
2. If I copy my FP+ to them on 8/27, and they change THEIR reservation, will I lose my FP+? They have AP, and they are just trying to find a cheaper room at the BC for the same dates and will call GR to make the change (my guess is YES all linked F&F will lose pre booked FP+ even with different reservations, etc)
   
3. Should I even bother copying FP+ to them 8/27? The only thing that'd be tough for them to get is 7DMT, everything else should have decent availability at 31 days (no A&E for us) so I can copy it then.

Since they are searching for availability, I don't know when they'd be able to make the change so I want to book FP+ for DW & me ASAP because its DW's first trip.

I do not believe there is the option to copy FPs anymore, at least not on the website. The issue they were having is that if the attraction you were trying to copy was not available, the system would change all of them, even the ORIGINAL FP to something that had availability for the entire party that the copying was supposed to cover.

It may still be there on the app but I would not use it.
