Husband Can't Go, Daughter Going Instead

[stulaurie]

Really looking for some advice if anyone has ever done this. We are 3 weeks out, we have Magical Express booked, Magic Bands have arrived, Luggage Tags in my name and my husband name and now he can't go. No problem my daughter wants to go. We have a package with park tickets and dinning. All of our Fast Passes are booked. I feel like if I call Disney and change the name we will loose all of the Fast Passes booked under my husband name. Will they charge us a change fee? I really just want to take her and have her wear her fathers Magic Band. How will they know and will they really care. I'm sure we would be fine with all of our Restaurant Reservations. I don't see a problem with Fast Passes. I know families swap out Magic Bands all the time for that. I'm just concerned with Magical Express and also Park Tickets.

What would you do?

Are you flying? Depending on the airline, you may not be able to switch the ticket.

Our package does not include airfare and we will purchase her own plane ticket. We are flying Southwest so my husband will get a credit for future use.

As long as he isn't the lead on the reservation no biggie. If he is the lead switch it over to you.

Park tickets will still go to the 1st person to use them every time so her biometric will be on the park ticket not your husbands.

I am the lead on the reservation so that's not a problem. I'm trying to remember if only 1 person scans their Magic Band to ride the Magical Express or if everyone in your party does.

Everyone does but you can just tell them she is riding. She just might get called DH's name they don't check id or anything.
