So... putting together a plan... will this work?

2 adults and 3 year old and 6 year old

1. Get a fp+ for mom and 6 year old for seven d. mine.
2. Get a fp+ for dad and 3 year old for Anna and Elsa.
3. The other three FP+ will be for all four... Peter Pan and Enchanted Tales... plus one more if my plan can work?

My plan is to take mom and 6 year old on seven d. mine and then swap out with dad... now for the Anna and Elsa part. Is it okay if I swap out our bands with dad and take the 3 year old with her fp+ to see the frozen gals... do you think they would allow the 6 year old to come in with us even if she does not have one... or are they picky with that?

If the above does not work could I give the 3 year old's band to the 6 year old and when we get to the line tell them that the three year old is two? .... how horrible of me.. right?

It is OK to swap band with Dad, that they don't care about.
The 6 year old will not be allowed in without a FP+. IME, they are very strict about that.
The lying part is up to you.

As far as the child swap goes on Mine Train, I assume your 3 year old is under 38" tall? I ask only because I have a couple of tall kids who could have ridden it if it had been around when they were 3 and I know they've been strict with the Mine Train.
 

Yes, the 3 year old is a little petite one! Mom and the 6 year old will ride Seven D. while dad take the 3 year old to see the Frozen girls. That way it is fair or just mom will ride Seven D. and both girl's go see A and E.
 
If your 3yo is too short for Mine Train and Dad doesn't care to see the Frozen girls, you could do this:
- FP for Dad for Mine Train
- FP for Mom and both kids for A&E
- Get a Rider Swap pass for Mine Train. Dad rides alone w/ his FP while Mom takes the kids to see A&E. Then Mom & 6yo use the RS pass to ride Mine Train.
 
I'm surprised your six-year-old doesn't want to see A+E! That was my seven-year-old's dream come true, and even my five-year-old son was smitten with Anna (my husband was, too; she was cute :)). If you can, I would get one for at least both kids.

They both LOVE the Frozen girls but we will be going on a cruise after our trip to WDW and Anna and Elsa will be there. I'm trying to think of something for dad to do with the 3 year old.

That is a great idea! Thank you!
