Complicated Split Stay/FP Question

[Mosey03]

Our FastPass window is opening up soon and I'm trying to understand how it will work for us. We have 3 families traveling together, all parties linked in MDE. Families A & B are arriving on 3/13 and staying at Coronado Springs for 2 nights, room only reservation. Family C arrives on 3/15 and at that point we all switch and each family has 6 nights at All-Star Movies, package reservation. So Question 1: will the FP window open for Families A & B 60 days prior to the first reservation even though it doesn't have any tickets associated with it, or will it be 60 days prior to the second reservation? And Question 2: will the FP window for Family C open at the same time as the rest of us or will it be a couple of days later?

I appreciate any insight because at this point I really don't know which day I should be getting up to do our FastPasses!!! I am doing them for the whole group. Thanks for the help!

Q1: To book FP in advance any guest trying to book must have a ticket (linked in MDX) that will be valid for each day FPs are booked booked.
(The tickets do not have to be booked as part of a WDW resort package.)
Q2: All FP bookings will open at the same time, BUT...
see my Q1 answer.

Thanks for replying! I don't entirely understand, but I think I need to clarify something. We aren't going to a park until 3/16, after we are on the reservation with the tickets attached. I think that's probably what you are trying to address in your first answer. I still don't understand whether I can do FPs on 1/13 or 1/15. Thanks so much for your help!

You can book FPs 60 days prior to the the first check-in date, so 1/13

Will 1/13 also apply to Family C who is arriving 2 days later than the rest of us?

If everyone is linked together on MDE, and the person making the FP reservations on 1/13 is part of the group arriving on 1/13, then yes, they will be able to include everyone when making FP.

The group arriving on 1/16, however, will not be able to make FP themselves until 1/16.
