Fastpass day tomorrow - need help with a confusing ticket situation

[irishtinknd]

I am in desperate need of help. Tomorrow is my Fastpass day, and I am having ticket problems. When free dining came out, I booked our reservation with the required 2 day parkhopper for myself, my husband, and two kids. At that time, I didn't know how many park days I needed. After that, a family member gave us 4 tickets she won from an auction that she won't be able to use before they expire at the end of the year. I finally determined that we are going to do 5 park days, so I linked 3 of the auction tickets to my husband's magicband, giving him 5 days, and 1 ticket to mine, giving me 3 days. I tried to call Disney today to add 2 more days to my ticket and 3 more days to the kids tickets, but they said that they can only add the same number of days to all tickets on the reservation. So right now, the only choices I know of are to add the days when we get there, but that screws me over for Fastpasses. Or to buy extra tickets for the kids and I right now in order to do Fastpasses tomorrow, but that is going to cost a lot of more money than to just add days. Does anyone have any other ideas? Can I add three days to all of our tickets, but then separate 3 of them from my husband's ticket and 2 from mine before we go to a park? Then we could use them on another trip? I'm sorry if this is confusing. Please let me know if I can answer anything to make this clearer. Thank you for any help you could give me.

Working within the restriction that packages require everyone to have the same tickets pre-arrival, and the fact that you want to book FP+ pre-arrival for all your park days, my suggestion is:
- Modify your package so you all have four-day tickets instead of two.
- Reassign the auction tickets so you each have one for the fifth day.


You could, upon arrival:
- Upgrade the package tickets for everyone BUT one person to 5 days
- Reassign the four auction tickets to the person whom you did not upgrade
- Purchase that person an additional one-day ticket for day five
- Save that person's four-day package ticket for a different trip by reassigning it to a "ghost" profile

I don't know that I'd go to all that trouble, personally, but it might work out to be better cost-wise. I have no idea if it actually is.
