Feel free to ignore/delete if this is a stupid question, but I promise I read the entirety of the first post, twice:
We have a package. We'll be bringing an infant. I am under the impression said infant will receive a free MB because he's on the package, even though he doesn't have a ticket. Post #1 said that a ticket-less baby's MB could be used for SDFP, but also said that you can't add phantoms to a package.
My question is twofold:
If I acquire a second MB so that hubby and I can use it and Baby's MB as SDFP bands, I would HAVE to put that otherwise-acquired MB on its own, separate, phantom
MDE, correct?
That's what I would do.
I can't put it on my real one because we're on a package? (Unless I made the real one a baby, too, who doesn't need a ticket? But wouldn't I get major side-eye at check-in or whatever when we only have one actual baby and not two?)
I suppose you could create another phantom under age 3 as long as you are not exceeding the occupancy limit of your resort room. No you wouldn't get side-eyed. Especially if you did online check-in and never even went to the front desk. Personally I prefer a completely separate MDE for my family's phantoms. It just feels more neat and tidy to have them completely separate.
Secondly- and this is mostly a question about how child-swap works (or whatever it is they call it) but sorta applies here- we have grandparents coming whose primary duties will include "Hold the baby while Mommy and Daddy ride Space Mountain" because we prefer to ride things together and not as solo riders. If we choose to child-swap (ride swap?) instead, how many FP's do you have to have for 2 parents + 1 child? Would both of us have to have a FP in order to enter the FP line, one person waits with Baby and then swaps with the other? Or can you enter that line on a single FP? (If that's the case, maybe we can get away with only using the one MB without having to acquire another...)
here's a relatively new thread where the first post explains it pretty well:
