Large group of 12 and FP+ strategy

[Mickey Fliers]

We will be able to make our FP+ selections in a few weeks. We are two families with 12 people total and are linked on MDE. I haven't used FP+, yet, as we have been living overseas for the last 3 years.

1. Is it best for just one of us to make all the selections for everyone?
2. If we know a few people won't ride something (ToT, specifically), is it best to book everyone who wants ToT and then to grab something else for those that don't? Or should I book everyone on ToT and then modify those that want something else?
3. My family is arriving one night earlier (Sat) than the other family (Sun) but none of us will be entering a park until Monday. Can I book all the the FPs at my 60 day window, even thought the other family would be at day 61?
4. Do all 12 tickets need to be linked to MDE before selections are made?

Thank you so much for your help. I will gladly take any advice you can offer.

2. Book for the total and then Modify for those who don't want ToT.
3. As long as everyone in Group #2 has separately linked tickets, you can book for them when your window opens. This also answers #1 - book as a total group because you have the earlier opening window.
4. Yes. Everyone in the total group must have tickets linked to them when FP booking begins.
