Disney Ticket planning for multi-generational family

[NewEnglandCamper]

I'm planning our trip in late August/September and its much different this year.

- My wife and I (in our 50s) just want to do 1 park a day (4 days max) - NO HOPPING. As she has knee issues and this wouldn't be ideal like we use to do in the past.
- Our energetic youngest son and his girlfriend (age 19 and 18) want to do a 5 day hopper and they will probably be at the park all day
- Our 20 something daughter (and young toddler) has limited budget so I'm not sure what she is going to do .. definitely not a 5 day hopper.

Questions:
- Can I book separately and still make dining reservations for all? How would you book this? I want to have it on everyones phone.
- Where can the teens get an Uber/Lyft to get back to our Marriott Resort?
- Any pitfalls?

Since you are staying off-site you'll be buying tickets separate from a package anyway. Just get each whatever ticket type/length they want. You can still make park reservations and ADRs for everyone.

This will help.

All the parks have rideshare pickup and dropoff locations:

As above, you can make ADRs without regard to park tickets. Assuming that everyone is linked to your MDE as F&F, just book the ADRs you want and check off their names as guests on the reservation. The ADR will automatically show in their MDE.

^this is a very helpful tool. As others have posted, you can each buy tickets that match your desire.

WDW currently has 4 day 4 park ticket for around $400. You must do all 4 parks (no doubling up MK and skipping another park for example). Sounds expensive but it is a relatively good deal now prices have increased so quickly.

5day hopper is likely cheapest through BWticketing. I’ve used them many times with no complaint.

that 4 day ticket is blocked out Sept 1-4, so probably not an option for their time frame
