Current situation with FP+ booking on party nights

[okienick]

We are going to the Christmas party in Dec. I'm about to purchase my party tickets online. We are going on Sun, Dec 15. We will have 5 day hoppers and an annual pass for one of us that we will use to get into the park Mon-Fri AFTER the party. Questions:

1. Can I use my party ticket to book FP+ from 4-6pm on Sunday? I know in theory you "can", depending on the type of ticket you have according the ticket sticky.
2. Will the system recognize the FP+ as being tied to the party ticket and not the hopper tickets? I know this has been an issue for people in the past, so this is why I am asking.
3. Does it matter whether I have the party ticket sent via email or should I request mail delivery? As a workaround to the issue in #2, I've heard people setup "dummy" profiles in MDE for each person in your group attending the party so it tricks the system into not being confused and then tying it to those dummy profiles when you purchase. Is this necessary? Or should I just book the party tickets and not worry about any of this?

TIA!

1. You can. The best way to do this is to FIRST do all of your other days and do the party day last.
2. The system has no idea which ticket you are using where; it just sees you have a valid ticket. As long as it still sees the party ticket as a valid ticket, you should have 6 days' worth of FP+.
