FP+ question re: MNSSHP and character meet/greets

[DisneyFave]

Hi everyone!

I'm taking my niece to WDW in September for MNSSHP and have 2 q's.

1) We'll go to MNSSHP on our last day, after all her regular park ticket entries (2) have been used up. The system will allow me to make FP+ reservations on that MNSSHP day (since we won't use any FP+'s on our Epcot day, the day before). But once we use use that Epcot ticket day and she has no regular days left, I assume her FP+s will "disappear" for the 4-7 window I'm trying to book before MNSSHP starts, no?

2) Since I have a nonexpiring ticket that will exceed this trip's # of regular entries, can I reserve FP's for that 4-7 MNSSHP window on my band and then switchbands with her and just "accompany" her to meet Elsa and Anna and other characters, but not appear in photos?

I'm guessing I just need to buy a 3-day ticket and use that third day for a morning park visit on our departure day, but it would be nice to save $80.

Thanks!

If you link your MNNSHP tickets to new/different people in your MDE account such as DisneyFave1 and Niece1, you'll be able to schedule 3 FPs for each Party ticket. You'll need to enter the party with the ticket and use the ticket at the FP tapstiles. The last FP has to be scheduled to be used before 7:00pm.

Great. Thanks! I didn't know that purchasing a MNSSHP ticket alone allowed you to make FP+ reservations.

Yup only between the hours of 4 to 7 if you JUST get the ticket! If you read my halloween thread I made I had a blast and used all three smoothly - you will enjoy and please tell me all about it!
