So confused about the GAD Voucher to FP

[derncare]

I'm really confused about the GAD voucher. We have 3 vouchers and are a party of 8. (Not everyone volunteered). We are going to the parks for 6 days. Here is my question:

1) My son has a voucher and he will be 8 at the time. Do I need to bring his birth certificate to prove his age?

2) We will have a multi-day ticket. Is that the only requirement to exchange for the FP?

3) I understand that on Day 1, I can turn in 1 voucher and that is good for 6 of these FP cards. But also that if I tell them we are a party of 8, they may give me some pixie dust and give us 8 of these FP cards. What I don't understand is - is EACH FP card good for 6 rides? I don't get the Donald/Daisy thing. Can someone point me to the thread that explains this?

4) Since we only have 3 vouchers, what 3 parks is this the best to use for? We are doing MK 2X, Epcot 2X, DHS once and then AK once. Which 3 days should we use these FP for?

THANKS IN ADVANCE! I'm sure ya'll have explained this 5 thousand times. I'm going back and reading threads but getting more confused because everyone's situations are so unique.

1. You need to bring his birth certificate or a copy to redeem his voucher (or a government ID like a passport).

2. The person redeeming the voucher needs a valid multi-day ticket to choose the FP card. Everyone else in your group just needs a valid ticket.

3. Each FP card is good for a number of Donald and Daisy rides. So far, it has been 3 Donald and 3 Daisy, but that is subject to change. Read here for more info:

Many people have reported getting more than 6 FP cards. You need to have everyone's tickets in hand and, some say, everyone present at the time of redemption.

4. Personal preference, but I would do MK, DHS and Epcot.
