Hi all. I have been to disney many times stayed on site and off, and used the old paper FP system. Now I am going w DD, SIL and 3 grandkids age 9-13. We are staying offsite because there are 6 off us and we have booked a large condo close to WDW. We will have hopper tickets for flexibility and want to purchase memory maker. Because I've heard MM connects to Magic bands and because at times our group may split up, I thought it would be good to spend the $13 a person for MB. I just want to make sure I understand how ALL these things link together, it is sooo confusing!
Please correct me if i'm wrong:
If each person has a band it
1) Gets them into park
2) each person waves it at a ride to use their fast pass
3) each person can wave it to a MM photographer to have photos shot and added to the one memory maker we are sharing, including ride photos if we split up?
4) what happens if one loses or forgets their magic band?
5) because we are off site, is there a way to adding $$ to the bands to purchase stuff in parks?
If we arrive at a park before regular close time that is having evening magic hours that night, can we stay and watch fireworks/shows? I know we cant ride, but I read we can't shop or buy snacks either. Is that true, would Disney really say NO to our $$?
Finally, is it possible, after fp have been set for group, for a few people in the group to switch fp while remainder keeps thiers? Is it possible for say a child to fp a ride with their own band, then fp the same ride again by using their siblings band who has decided not to rude that ride? Sorry for all the questions. Please help! Thank you.
