Do you think they will incorporate that all linked bracelets can utilize FP vs. assigning FP to individual bracelets? As my family is spread out in age (really height), the oldest daughter and I tend to ride the high height rides, and tend to do so via taking the entire party's admission cards and getting 4 FP vs. just the 2 we could get being her and I. This could have a serious down side as I'll typically grab all the cards and go get FP for something while the wife and girls are doing something "girly" like getting made over.

Are you? Seems to me our entire back and forth is predicated on the fact that you are not so constrained.....in fact, your op can be summed up as follows: "is the gravy train of getting to use FP's that my personal ticket did not entitle me to going to end with FP+?

It diminishes the value of the park passes if one cannot use all purchased tickets to obtain FP.
I don't really think of it as a loophole but exercising what was paid for.
It's not screwing up capacity at all because the allocation is there whether it is the same individuals using them or multiple people.
Its still a seat in a ride vehicle.Waiting forGodotMicechat.com

As for giving your unused fastpasses to a stranger.....you may think you're being magnanimous(and to the stranger, maybe you are) but instead of helping one person a whole bunch have you considered helping a whole bunch of people a little? By throwing unused fp's away you are speeding up the line for everyone in the standby line. They won't know you helped them and you definitely want get any gratitude.....but isn't true charity about not being recognized?

Re: Fast Pass Plus
From what I've read, the rumors are that each person will only be allowed 2-4 FP per day, so even if the wristbands are individual and not linked, someone else in a party would be giving up one of their 4 FP for the day.
I know that it hasn't been confirmed if/when FP+ will be rolled out for DLR, but I sort of hope it doesn't. I get why it would be useful at WDW when most guests are planning trips far in advance, but with the high number of AP's and day visitors to DLR, IMHO, I don't think it would be the most enjoyable experience. Personally, we only plan our trips about a week or two ahead of time; the idea that I'd have to make reservations like ADR's beforehand is appealing if its day of or perhaps the day before, but knowing that I'm competing with others who make reservations 60 days in advance is a bummer.

Let's make this simpler.......suppose you and one other rider go up to a fast pass machine and get the last 4 fast pass tickets for Indy. Now suppose there were 2 people behind you in line for fast passes.......they have to wait in an hour long standby line to ride Indy while in the same period of time you may get to ride it two times (plus have time left over to do a little shopping).
Knowing this, would you say your use of the extra fp's had a negative or positive effect on other park guests?
(again, I am not judging you or others who do this; I am not even saying I've never done it....I am just saying I want Disney to stop it)Waiting forGodotMicechat.com

Is it a big deal? Not in this case. I only usually give fastpasses away when I am too tired at the end of the night to stay until my fastpass time. If Disney started to actually enforce non-transferablility of fastpasses, I would just suck it up and wait until my return time so that the pass didn’t go to waste. I do it all the time, but yes it is a violation of the fastpass rules."Greetings, Starfighter! You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada."
