OK, I don't think this violates Disney rules, but if it does, feel free to delete or close this thread.

Pardon my lengthy question . . .
I'm helping my sister plan a Disney trip for her, her DH and her 3 DS. They haven't been in many years and likely won't go again, so this trip is a BIG deal to them. My sister and her 3 DS are all set with tickets, and their FP window opens Saturday. Her DH will be using an old, old ticket that can't be linked to MDE - it must be done at Guest Services when they get there (we've both talked to multiple CMs so unfortunately I don't think there's any way around this problem). I asked whether they could give her DH some kind of a FP "placeholder" so that he will at least be able to make FPs with them. Unfortunately, no go, so he will be stuck trying to make same day FPs that somewhat match up with theirs - likely a long shot and definitely a hassle.

I was thinking about my sister's predicament today and had an idea - wondering if you all think this will work. I am an AP holder and can currently book FPs for the window that includes my sister's trip. Could I become friends with my sister in MDE, then have her book FPs for her, her 3 DS and me. Then once her DH gets his ticket activated and linked in MDE, she could use Change Party to switch those FPs from me to him?

I'm unclear on what will get MDE accounts flagged or frozen or whatever these days - I definitely don't want that to happen, but I would also hate for my brother-in-law to get stuck riding Barnstormer and Dumbo while the rest of his family rides 7DMT and Space :) (I'm exaggerating, of course, but just want to try to save them some uncertainty and a lot of hassle.)

Thanks!!
 
From the FP FAQ:
- While technically nontransferable, in practice MagicBands (or tickets) can be swapped with others in your party to use their FPs (assuming everyone is together inside the park). Castmembers (CMs) do not care if 47yo Mike enters a FP queue with 15yo Sue's MagicBand. If uncomfortable with swapping bands, the Change Party function in MDX can legitimately be used to move FPs between members of the same party who have all entered the park. Transferring FPs from profiles linked to tickets not used for park entry cannot be discussed on this forum.
 

It was the second half of the quoted post I thought might be in play, but I defer to the mods.
 
Being pro-active today ~ closing because the OP's question has been answered. :)
