Make Nov. FP+ by having the 7-day ticket linked to MDE.
If you upgrade to an AP certificate during the Nov. trip,
you can make FP+ for the Dec. trip just by having the AP certificate in your MDE.
But, you said your husband won't be with you in Nov.
My husband won't be with me in October. Here are 2 scenarios....which is best?
1. Link husband's 7 day hopper and make our Nov FP 60 days out, when I'm at WDW in Oct go to guest services and upgrade his 7 day hopper ticket to an AP certificate and link it in MDE, come home & make Dec FP at the 60 day mark, and then when we're there in Nov, turn in his AP certificate for his actual AP. Would this mess-up the FP that I made?
2. Link my son's 7 day hopper to my husband (it's not currently stored in MDE and son won't be going in Nov) so I can make my husband's Nov FP at 60 days out. Turn my husband's 7 day hopper in at WDW in Oct for AP certificate (husband won't be with me...can I still get AP certificate for him or does he have to be there?). Go home and link the AP certificate to my husband and reassign my son's 7 day hopper back to him. At that point, both my son's 7 day hopper and husband's AP certificate would be able to reserve FP for our Dec. trip at 60 days out.
Or scrap it all and just buy the AP outright? This seems like it's asking for something to go wrong somewhere.
