disney ticket and mydisneyexperience questions

[sddis]

Hi,

We have two families going to disney. I bought the tickets for both families at UT.

1) I bought a child ticket for the other families child who is actually considered a disney adult. How do I upgrade the ticket? Can i link it now in my disney experience and upgrade it in the park? I put the correct age in mydisneyexperience so I guessed it wouldn't allow it, but I don't know.
2) How would disney computer the cost of the above scenario? Do they know how much I paid UT and will know the difference? Looking at adutl vs child tickets at UT, it doesn't like look much of a difference.
3) The second family has a mydisney experience account but not all the members are on it. The accounts are linked. But since they had missing members, I added there members to my accounts as friends I think, to make restaurant reservations. Can I link the tickets to the names on my account or should I use their account? I think mydisneyexperience lets me link the tickets to their names on my account, but I don't know if that would mess up their mydisneyexperience account.
4) I bought 6 day hopper tickets, but we would like to do 7 days. I read I can just link my tickets now and then upgrade in the park for minimal cost to include a 7th day. Is that correct? Any gotchas?
5) How do fastpass reservations get affected by my scenarios? For instance, if I can't get an adutl ticket to replace the child one until I go to the park. And the case where we buy the 7th ticket in the park.

thanks

A. Yes.
B. No, they have no way of knowing what YOU paid for the UT ticket.
Have the 10 yr old (I'm guessing a 10 yr old) use the ticket to enter a theme park.
Then, go to that park's Guest Relations (there's one inside each park) and pay the difference
between the cost of a new child's ticket FROM DISNEY and the cost of a new adult ticket of the same type FROM DISNEY.
(Having the 10 yr old use the ticket first is a bit of an "iffy" proposition, but it should work out for you.)
C. There's not a whole lot. But, look at the DISNEY prices to figure the difference.
D. It doesn't matter, as long as you can make the FP+ reservations.
The individual accounts are largely unimportant, as long as you can make the FP+ reservations.
E. Yes.
F. USE the tickets to enter a theme park BEFORE you do the upgrade. Then, the cost to add the extra day will be $10.65 per person.
G. You'll just be upgrading that ticket. Any FP+ made in advance will stay with the upgraded ticket.
H. You'll keep the first 6 days worth of advance FP+, but you won't be able to book the 7th day until you actually add that 7th day with the upgrade.
