So, we are taking a multigenerational trip to WDW over Easter week this year. My family of four from NJ, my sister's family of four from CO, and our parents from WA. We (the DVC members) have reserved a GV and have everyone on one reservation. Now comes the hard part.
What the heck is the least painful way to deal with park tickets? (This is clearly one of the cons of the FP+ system. Boo hiss.)
I'll start by saying that my extended family members would prefer not to create their own MDE accounts if possible. Which is fine with us - if we can purchase tix for everyone in our party with one transaction, it's not a problem. But how do we deal with the fact that we'll all have different kinds of tix?
For example, my family of four will likely get park hoppers for 7 days. My sister's family will likely get one-park-per-day tix for 7 days, and our parents will likely get one-park-per-day for 4 days. When purchasing the tix, is there a way to identify who gets which tix? It seems like this method would be rife with the possibility for glitches. Not to mention what happens when it comes time to get FPs. Ugh. But that's another thread.
Along those lines, would we be able to purchase the $199 DVC tix for our parents if we aren't purchasing them for ourselves?
I know everyone's MBs will come to us. And I'm the one who will be up at midnight at the 60 day mark trying to get some of those coveted FPs. Can I feasibly also handle the park ticket purchase for all of us?
Anyone have any experiences, insight, or suggestions here? TIA!

(Don't front them the money unless you plan to gift them the tickets. There have been lots of reports of family backing out at the last minute. In general from reading the boards, it seems like family is worse than friends in that respect).
