Party of 12 help with how to set up FP+

[CluelessDisFan]

We're going with another family of 7. Making us a party of 12. I've already linked our My Disney Experience accounts, as far as mom to mom. So will I be able to book FP+ for all 7 of them? Even my friend who has her own Disney account? For the other 6 guests it says I manage the accounts. For my next question should I link their tickets under my account, would that make FP+ easier also?

This will be their first trip, and I've been doing all the planning , and that's how my friend prefers it. It's been a while since we've used FP+ and I'm worried about doing it for all 12 of us. I'm sure I'll be splitting us up to get FP+ times. I'm just trying to get some advice on the best way to do it.
TIA!

I did a party of ten a few years ago and booked all the fast passes. I would pick the attractions you absolutely have to have everyone together on and book them as soon as the window opens up. After that get as many for everyone as you can. If you can't get all of them, book a smaller group and then copy it to other people in the party and you will eventually get everyone in. It requires a lot of trolling of MDE but you can make it work.

Does it let me book FP+ for my friend who's MDE is linked to mine?

If they are linked to your MDE, you can add them to your fast passes. If they aren't showing up, you can add them after you add the larger group by selecting copy a fast pass. I believe you have to do that through the website, not the app.

I have the same situation. Anyone know if she can make some FP+ selections with her MDE for he entire group while I do others at the same time?

I had a similar situation, my family of 4 and my in-laws family who are a party of 4 as well (there are 15 of us going in total, but I wanted to ensure that my in-laws are at least with us). I set up my family of 4 under my account (lets call this Acct. 1) and created our fast passes. I then created an account for my in-laws using my husband's email (his name is Ronald, so I used "Ronald" for his tix under Acct. 1 and opened his new account with "Ron" for them (lets call this Acct. 2). I added my in-law's family to Acct. 2 and assigned them their ticket numbers (on Acct. 2 everyone has tickets except for "Ron"). I did the email request to allow Acct 1 to makes changes to the tix of Acct 2 (I had to do this for each individual ticket). I was able to add all 4 of my in-laws to my fast pass reservations. I gave them the log-in information for Acct. 2 so that they could make changes to their fast-passes at will, but won't be able to change my family's fast-passes.

I hope this all makes sense.
