Barring any unforeseen issues, DH and I are going to WDW for a belated anniversary trip in November. I've given him the green light to sleep in on any given day while I run off to play in the parks. While I'm really just planning on hitting all of my faves that he hates, I'm trying to figure out how to handle the whole FP+ situation. These are the options I've come up with so far...
1. I could just book our first 3 FP+ for after he wakes up, I don't love this idea. I mean, even if I'm touring in the early mornings by myself, I could still benefit from FP+. Still, it's the least complicated plan.
2. I could book FP+ to my band for early mornings and book later attractions to his band for him....then hopefully I can get similar FP+ times for those same attractions on his after I've exhausted my first 3 while he's sleeping...or even try and shift his around at that point to match what I'm able to get.
3. I know I've seen people swap out bands...i.e. husband goes on TOT using FP+, then uses wife's band to get a second ride on TOT using her FP+. If DH is asleep, he's not going to need his band. While it may be a loophole that Disney has closed (or will close), I've seen numerous people say that an active magic band doesn't need to be scanned for park entry to make the FP+s loaded to it work. If this loophole hasn't been closed, in theory, I should be able to book 3 initial FP+ to my band and another 3 FP+ to his band...use them all before he wakes up...and be ready to give him his band back and book additional FP+ after he's rolled out of bed.
I've got a lot of time to figure this out, and I'm sure things will change over the next 6 or so months, but I want to form a preliminary plan. Anyone have any thoughts?
