Hey all so first timer question:
Used to go to WDW with family back in early 2000's and now am finally going on my own trip and planning myself for our group. I am using some "gifted" points from a family member who ended up booking my resort stay. We ended up having enough for a 2 bedroom villa, so we them decided it was a waste to not bring some friends. So we had a reservation and then added 2 more guests onto the room via phone. We live in two completely different states (which may matter later) and it is also their first time doing ANYTHING Disney.
I see all 4 of our guests on my MDX page and I can make magicbands for all of us. I bought two tickets for myself and spouse, and I get how to link those.
So my questions:
1. Do I tell my friends to make their own MDX's and then just add them to family and friends to plan our ADRs and FPs?
2. Do they link their tickets on their own MDX or should I ask them for their conf. numbers to link on my MDX? (And do you individually assign tickets to each guest? we're all getting 7 day park hoppers)
3. Is Disney going to send me all 4 MagicBands or send their 2 to them? (We may be getting in on different airlines at different times and both parties are using MDE bus, which I assume needs the bands) Same for their MDE luggage tags?
So basically I'm lost as to how the whole MDX thing works, once linked is it fully linked or is it visit specific, can it handle sending stuff to other people in your group that live at a different address, etc. I also assume that after this trip our friends will want to go back on their own and want to make their MDX for future use as painless as possible.
Thanks so much in advance, looking forward to my first Disney in a long time and introducing some new ones to the fold!
