Change Party feature gone in MDE?

[MIAMouseketeer]

I just noticed that the Change Party feature on the MDE app is now gone. When did this happen? We've used this sometimes in the parks when my in-laws don't want to ride something. Why would they remove this?

Looks like “change party” turned into “add person” sometime between Sunday and today.

The MDX app updated yesterday and the changes noted:
“Add Guest” replaces Change Party
Reassigning tickets that have been partially used - possibly a glitch

At least (for now?), change party still works on the website.

I think for now is just it. If they removed it on the app, I figure the website is next.

I hope you are wrong. But I fear you are correct.

What would be the purpose of using change party?

It’s like the digital version of giving away the old time paper FastPasses.

It was useful if there were changes in the FP party...switching around users or adding more people into the grouping.

It was a way to scam the system. Say you had 5 people linked in MDE but only 2 people were going on a particular day. You could reserve fastpasses for all 5 and then move those who were not there that day to those who were after they used theirs.

And that probably influenced the availability of E ticket fastpasses. Glad Disney is cracking down!

Now that circumventing Disney rules has been described - and Change Party can still be utilized via the MDX website and by those whose MDX app hasn’t been updated - closing.
