Reserving FP+ for whole group?

[Karenj2]

My window for FP is approaching - and now I have questions!! We have a party of 9 - 4 adults, 1 child, and 4 "infants" (two sets of twins, one set will be 22 months, ours will be 16 months). We're generally going to be going through the parks together (with one exception - their kids don't care about A&E, and I doubt the parents do either).

I'm going to be stalking the site at midnight or so for A&E passes, and figured I'd make FPs for the rest of us while I'm at it.

1) If we want to do something (like a meal at BOG) all together, I make FPs for ALL of us, right? Does it matter that I can't do FPs for the babies?
2) Should I make FPs for all of us (4 adults & child where appropriate), and then if our friends decide they don't want to do that ride they can change their plans?
3) If I'm able to get A&E for my child, DH and I, can we bring our babies, even though we can't get FPs for them?

Correct. Everyone 3+ will need a FP+ for a BOG lunch ADR. I know that with regular ADRs an infant is noted but I'm not sure how that works with this scenario. Hopefully someone else will be able to chime in.

2) Should I make FPs for all of us (4 adults & child where appropriate), and then if our friends decide they don't want to do that ride they can change their plans?

That sounds like a good plan. If your friends do decide that they want to experience something else they can change their FP+ on the website, app, or in-park at a kiosk.

3) If I'm able to get A&E for my child, DH and I, can we bring our babies, even though we can't get FPs for them?

Yep.

Just making sure you are aware , you will not be able to make your BOG FP+ when your 60 day window opens. It does not follow the 60 day rule - currently it is only open as far as August 17 or 18. So you have to wait until much closer to your arrival date.

Also, the BOG FP is on a totally different system, it is not on My Disney Experience.

Oh, so then it's possible to get 3 ride/M&G FPs, AND try for a BOG FP too?

BOG FastPass is independent of the FastPass+ system done on a different site. It does not count towards your 3.

You will only be able to make a FP for BOG for the people registered in your room. It does not give you a number option, only the names on the registration. Your friends, assuming they are in a different room will have to make their own.

Be careful with linked MDE, make sure you or your friends are careful changing any FP+ as there have been some guests saying their relatives/friends changed them all causing them to lose out on important FP+.
