FP+ and friends who don't yet have tickets?

We have booked a trip with friends - we are staying in a 2br villa (cheaper than individual rooms and we each like our own beds and baths). (note, that villa will sleep up to 8 people... we are 4 people).

They have not purchased tickets yet (1 adult, 1 child). We have our tickets and they are linked on the MDE with days left (1 adult, 1 child). I would like to get FP+ booked *soon* because we are less than 30 days out.

Can I add my two other children (who aren't going, but have available tickets on MDE) to the reservation and book FP+ using "their reservation"? (note, there would be space in our room reservation) Does the entry ticket (which would be friends entry ticket, not my children entry ticket) have to match the FP+ reservation or can I just get 6 magic bands and use my children two MB for the FP+?

I know it looks like I'm trying to game the system, but I am just trying to get things booked under a tight time window.

Alternatively, the two "children" in the party who are going are actually 11 and 12 (yes, we have adult tickets, just easier to refer to them as children for illustration purposes) and relatively responsible (one is a multi-year Disney'er). Can we book two different sets of FP+ within one party? So I sit outside and send the children in to ride without the adults? Could possibly double our FP+ options? Or isn't that a good idea and not in good faith?

thanks
 
Your FPs that you will book for your "phantom" kids will work in the park. The FP tapstile just links to FP data and doesn't care about how the guest entered the park.

Or, you could just Copy FPs to your friends once you link their tickets. It'll be easier and faster to book for the kids who aren't going.
 
So the FP+ system (when I use it to go on a ride) will allow the FP+ to go through even though a valid ticket on that MB was not used to enter the park?

If so, that would make life infinitely easier and I don't have a time lag getting FP+.
 
Yes! We found this to be true a year ago... and it is still in effect as this loophole hasn't been closed.
