FP+ with package reservation

[houseofduck]

Friends of mine booked a package for December. Actually, there are three package reservations. It's been a long time since I've done the "Friends and Family" thing and I'm sure that it has changed since I last did it.

When the "manager" of the trip logs into MDE, we can see all three reservations and tickets for each person on each reservation. Before I read mesaboy2's FP+ thread, I tried to do a test FP+ reservation. Since reading the FP+ thread, I now realize that you can't do practice FP+ reservations with tickets associated with a package and that sometimes, not everyone shows up correctly with package tickets before the 60 day mark.

Their FP+ window opens in a few days and I want to make sure that things are set up correctly. When I selected FP+ in MDE, it only showed one person's name and said "valid park admission required." (I think this is because we are not yet in the 60 day window and their reservations are package reservations.) The family list shows everybody in the travel party and that the "manager" manages everyone's accounts. Given that we can see the tickets and everyone is in the family list, when we get to the 60 day mark, will everyone appear in the list in the FP+ area and will the manager be able to make FP+ reservations for everyone? I have not used MDE with package reservations as we are DVC and purchase tickets separately.

I think I posted this at the wrong time of day! And, I was probably too wordy!

To simplify, is it "normal" to only see one person's name in the FP+ area in MDE when you are outside your 60 day window and you have tickets as part of package reservations?

Yes. I believe that's addressed by one of the bolded portions in the FP thread (green link below).

I am not used to package reservations. In my account in MDE, I see family/friends that I have traveled with that no longer have tickets every time I go to make new FP+ reservations. So, it was odd to me not to see the others in the list. After reading your thread, I suspected it was due to the package reservations, but wanted to make sure before their window opens.

Thank you for confirming!
