Hi Kenny- Kind of an odd question here. My family of 4 will be there for 5 days in oct and staying at the beach club, we will have a 5 day park hopper (for the price of a 3 day) linked to each of the 4 of us and will book fast pass+ rides 60 days out using those. Is it possible to just buy four new magic bands, another 5 day park hopper using my wife's my disney experience login, and book fast pass+ for those 30 days out? This would effectively give us 6 fast pass+ rides to have booked for each day instead of 3... obviously is an expensive idea, but the math seems to make each of those extra fast passes over the 5 days worth around $25 per ride. I assume we would just enter the park, leave a few hours later and then re-enter with the 2nd set of magic bands... is this something that is feasible to try and do? Thanks for your site, it is so helpful.

Hey Kenny, we are staying offsite in Sept. Do you know if a family member can use my 'old' magic band? I actually have a few, one from a night stay at AoA and the other two are our original bands we had from a trip then they issued bands to AP holders. Seems like they are handing these things out like candy...but I guess they for sure make it up in these sales :-\
Thanks!!
