What about groups that are in more than one room, possibly at different resorts, and want to plan together? Now, all of that is not an issue: as long as everyone shows up at at the FP machine together (or is at least in the park together and assigns a runner), they can get FPs with the same or similar return times.

The most obvious answer is "somewhere inbetween" but how close to one extreme or the other will they get? Only time will tell." Yep. And even of the sky does fall and it's a disaster, seems it would be easy tweak to find a workable solution. No need to panic folks.
