FP+ with 10 people and 4 diff. reservations

[phoj69]

So I have been trying to read through the FP+ posts but have not been able to really find anything on this. Currently we have a trip scheduled for September that our window opens up on Sunday at midnight. We have 7 adults and 3 kids going under 4 different room reservations. Each group created their own MDE account and we linked to each others. My questions are

1) Can I book FP+ for all 10 of us even though we are not all on the same MDE account?
2) If so can the other parties book during that same time period? so if we are there for a week could I work on getting FP+ for 1 day and our other family members work on the other days.

1) yes
2) not certain whether the system will have difficulties with this, but it's worth a try. I'm hearing much less about system glitch complaints than a year ago and as long as you're logging in with different MDE accounts that are just linked together, I think you'll minimize potential problems.

I'd personally recommend either being together of maybe on the phone, though. Especially if you're looking for very coveted FPs or working around other reservations. What if you're picking Day 1 FPs and can't get Anna and Elsa meet, but you see one is available on Day 4, which your sister is working on for a planned AK day?

If you have any concerns (I have NO patience for computer problems; even less for high-stakes FP planning at midnight!) I found the IT folks very friendly and helpful. You could call to make sure you're all set up right and ready to go.

The linking of MDE accounts is the key. You can make FP+ selections for anyone in your Family & Friends list that has valid park admission linked to their profile.

If you haven't, you also need to link the managed profiles. If you go back to your Family & Friends list and select 'Add a Guest', you should be presented with a list of people you may know. This list would contain any managed profiles of your connected friends as well as accounts that your connected friends are liked up with. If the MDE website gives an error connecting to a managed profile, try using the MDE mobile app on a table or smart phone.
