The parks with a 2yr old

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

hello. Nephew is joining us! He doesnt have a park ticket but will apparently still have a magic band.
How does this work for fastpasses? Do i need to get him fp+ when our 60 day window opens?
We booked him a seat for our adr's but when there are 5 dining at a buffet does he count as a 6th therefore having tips added to the bill? At a sit down if they order his own food for him I would presume he counts.
Thank you

He does not need fastpasses. He basically gets a magic band so he doesn't feel left out.

We are taking our 2yo daughter in a couple of weeks. She has a magic band because she is included in our resort reservation however she doesn't need it to get into the parks so it's ok if she won't wear it. The same will be true for your nephew.

For FP+, as long as your Nephew goes through the FP+ line with someone who has a FP+ he will be fine. We include our DD in the headcount for ADRs so they know how many seats to have for us. We then also include her in our tipping since she is eating even though we don't have to technically pay for her yet.

From the FP FAQ, Post #2:

- Children under 3yo cannot get and do not need FPs (since they don't have tickets) and can accompany an adult with FP. If named on an onsite reservation, children will receive a complimentary MagicBand but it is not needed nor can it be used for FP.
