Hoping Someone Can Help! DVC Ticket/FP+ Question

[annnewjerz]

My family (a party of 5 adults) is going to Disney in September with my Aunt and Uncle. We are staying at the Boardwalk on rented DVC points and they are staying at Boardwalk as DVC members.

Apparently DVC had a recent ticket promotion going where you buy X number of days and get X number free. It saved each of us something like $15 so we decided to get them through my Aunt and Uncle. Unfortunately we didn't know that a) they would be purchasing all of the tickets on one transaction and b) tickets would have to be picked up at will-call. Soooo...

How do I link tickets that I don't have (won't have them until arrival), whose confirmation number is already linked to my Aunt and Uncle's reservation and Disney Experience Account ---- to my own account? I'm worried about not being able to make FP+ reservations at the 60 day mark because right now, our reservation still reads as a room-only, even though we have technically purchased tickets.

Help me, please! If I would have known we wouldn't have tickets in hand when we purchased them, I would have just passed on the small discount and bought them myself.

Can your Aunt and Uncle request actual tickets? I purchased the DVC tickets and received the plastic card tickets in the mail and used those numbers to link on MDE. Or can you get the order number for the tickets? I think you can link them with that number. Sorry, I am not much help but I am sure someone else will respond with better answers.

Are your MDE and their MDE accounts linked? They should be able to transfer the tickets to you for FP+ purposes. And, since you're staying on site, you'll get Magic Bands, which will also be linked to your account and will be able to access your tickets. So you won't need to go to will-call to pick anything up.
