This is from the SDFP thread. There are a few other points there about using phantom profiles for an extra set of FP. If you're going to give it a whirl, be sure you understand all the finer points!

On the SDFP thread, scroll to the bottom of the first post to the section in a red font which describes using party tickets to book a second set of FP. Below is the section that applies to the "umbrella function" that opens the 60 day window for the phantom guests.
How do I get the 60 day resort guest window to umbrella over my profiles of ticketed phantoms?
You can prebook FP 60 days in advance for phantom profiles with party tickets, but it gets a little tricky.
The 60 day booking window can umbrella out from the guests on the resort reservation to the ticketed phantoms who are without a resort reservation. To do this, when you make your FP choices, you must toggle at least one person from the resort reservation in the group with ticketed phantoms who are not on the resort reservation. The system won't offer you choices at 60 days for a group of only non-resort guests. (A ticketed profile is one with a ticket linked to it - this is a profile entitled to prebook FP. In this scenario, the first set of people have park hoppers or APs. The phantoms have party tickets.) Don't worry - this won't end up having any effect on any FP you've already booked for the resort guests.
Once you've toggled a resort guest along with any ticketed phantoms, you'll be offered choices up to 60 days out. If the resort guest you've toggled already has a set of FP, you'll be prompted to remove that resort guest from the booking group. Go ahead and click on "remove." Your phantoms will still be permitted to proceed with the 60 day window. Really.
You can also do this if you're traveling with friends who are misguidedly staying off property.
Does this violate Disney's Terms of Service (TOS)?
No. Disney asks guests to agree to enter the park with the ticket they used to prebook FP. Since you will enter the party with the ticket that entitled you to prebook FP on the party day, you are in full compliance with the TOS.
Can I make changes to the FP for the phantoms?
You can make changes to the phantom FP just as you can change any other FP, though it will be impossible to move the phantom FP to any day other than the day of the party - and impossible to book for any park other than the MK. You can change the FP immediately after booking and without the presence of a resort guest in the FP group. The only thing that could make the FP fall off the profiles, once booked, would be if you reassigned the party tickets away from the phantoms.
I don't quite get this umbrella thing.
So let's say you have John, Susan, Timmy, and Daisy on the resort reservation (and with ticketed profiles on your MDE). On the same MDE, you have set up ticketed phantoms Mickey, Minnie, Buzz, and Belle. (There is no limit to the number of people you can add to your MDE. Though of course there is a limit to the number of people you can add to your reservation.)
Now you want one set of three FP for each foursome (representing one real foursome, of course - enjoying the luxury of six prebooked FP per day for each guest). But you can only prebook for the ticketed phantoms at 60 days out if you include at least one person from John & Co's group (since they're on the reservation).
Click to select new FP and toggle Mickey, Minnie, Buzz, and Belle -- and also John. (Without John or one of the other resort guests, Mickey & Co. can only get FP at 30 days, not 60.) So you prebook FP for that group of five people. Once that's done, go back in and cancel John's FP. The FP for Mickey and his family won't be affected. Now prebook FP for John, Susan, Timmy, and Daisy. (You can also prebook for the real profiles first, then prebook for the phantoms, including (then removing, when prompted) John (or any of the others). You'll end up with two sets of FP (six per person) booked in advance for those four people. It's good to remember-- once the three FP are booked for the non-resort guest phantoms, you can modify those three FP without a resort guest needing to be toggled as part of the FP group.
Anything I should be aware of?
Remember that you can't enter the park for the party with your MagicBand if the ticket is linked to a separate phantom profile. You have to use the plastic ticket card to enter the party. Of course, you also will need the plastic ticket card to access your second set of FP. If you forget to bring the cards, just go into your MDE and transfer the party entitlements to your real profiles so you can enter with your MBs. You'll lose the extra set of FP, but oh well. If you have a set of SDFP phantoms, you could also reassign the party tickets to those profiles and use the SDFP phantom bands or cards to enter the party (and access the FP). You'd have to forego SDFP, but oh well. The prebooked FP will be far better.
