Is borrowing magic bands acceptable?

[otterpop]

My family and I have a trip coming up in a few months that will include 7 of us. Now that you can no longer move FP's from one person to another, if my kids (or parents) don't want to use an FP and decide to sit a ride out, can we borrow their magic bands and use their fp's?

I have read conflicting reports on the boards regarding this and I just want to make sure I am following the rules! I have read that there is no problem doing this, but I have also read that it is against official Disney rules. Any clarification would be much appreciated!

And to clarify, I am trying to get an understanding of the rules so I don't circumvent the rules!

Thanks

Absolutely acceptable. Disney doesn’t care and neither should you. If you’re given 12 FP+ a day, you should be using all of them - whether two people use 6 each, four people use 3 each, etc.

For the record, you can change party on fast passes on the website.

But we trade bands all the time. Sometimes I plan that way on purpose. I book 3 FP for barnstormer so DGD can ride 3 times. DH and I are not going to ride

Yes - as long as the band was used to enter that park on that day.

- While technically nontransferable, in practice MagicBands (or tickets) can be swapped with others in your party to use their FPs (assuming everyone is together inside the park). Castmembers (CMs) do not care if 47yo Mike enters a FP queue with 15yo Sue's MagicBand. If uncomfortable with swapping bands, the Change Party function in MDX can legitimately be used to move FPs between members of the same party who have all entered the park. Transferring FPs from profiles linked to tickets not used for park entry cannot be discussed on this forum.
