Magic band and extra fast pass plus

[upbeatred]

I have read all the threads here and from them I understand your magic bands are not necessarily tied to your park tickets. If you have a resort reservation and your room can hold four family members. Can't you get four magic bands? Even if two of the members don't have park tickets, can you take those magic bands into the park and use fast pass plus? Or if not can, can you stop at the terminals and get same day fast passes? I know many folks do not like loop holes, but prior to all this stuff it was easy to get multiple fast passes in a day if you went at less crowded times. If there is a way to maximize my fast passes, I don't feel slightly guilty about doing it.

Yes, you have to have a ticket tied to the person's magic band in order to make FP+ selections.
I would also say, it's true that in the past it was easier to get many fastpasses in a day. The way it is now, we don't need people making it worse by cheating the system and/or taking advantage of loop holes.

So do you have to buy your ticket prior to making your fast pass plus selections? What if you are buying them separately from you resort reservations?

For advance FP reservations, yes. Answers to FP FAQs like yours can be found in the green link in my signature.

I'm curious...my friends are going and I am not. I have NE tickets on my bands. If they take my bands with them and we book FP+ on them, would they be able to use those FP+?

Doesn't matter when you buy your ticket, but the ticket must be linked to MDX before any FP reservations may be made.

How many friends do you intend to give your band to? Only one at a time could use those FPs. You can't book FPs for multiple guests on one person's account with one ticket. Each person must have a ticket.

Why would your friends not buy their own tickets and make their own FPs or are you just trying to figure out a way that they can get extras?

You do NOT need to have a ticket tied to a magic band in order to make same day FP+ selections.

This thread has a lot of info and would be a great place to discuss your questions:
