Sharing plans in My Disney Experience when children's accounts are involved?

[Belle in Blue]

I have a 5 year old daughter, and I manage her online Disney account. I'm planning a trip that my SIL and her then-4 year old may join us on; SIL manages my niece's account.

For booking dining and FP+, I can easily add my daughter to reservations, and I know from our last trip with my BFF that it will be just as easy to add SIL once we have connected our accounts via family and friends. But from what I can tell, it won't be possible for me to make plans for my niece that are connected to her existing account, or for SIL to make plans for my daughter.

The only way I can see for us to book FP+ together is for me to create another account for my niece, and make sure that all of her reservations for the trip are linked to that account rather than the one her mom manages. Which would be a pain in itself, since we may split up at times and then her mom wouldn't be able to manage her FP+ for the times when it's just the two of them. Is there a better workaround?

Why not create a new MDE account that has the 4 of you and give your sister the password. She would be able to make plans for the trip for all or just the two of them. This might be easiest.

I've already made several reservations on my existing account, but it's entirely possible to give her the password. That would definitely simplify things.

It should work fine. I manage my family. When I travel with my parents (who are managed by my mom), we can make plans for everyone together either by using her account or by using mine. When you manage someone who doesn't have their own account any connections made through the account owner also work for anyone who is only managed by that person and doesn't have their own account. Hope that made sense!

We have 3 rooms like this, nieces and nephews staying with the parents but we wanted to get FP tigetheretc. I called Disney and they made me and SIL able to manage everyone in all 3 rooms from our MDE acct and each person can manage their own too. Give them a call.
