We have a weird situation. My DD and her DBF are going to be in Disney at POP from April 25th to the 29th and then OKW from the 29th to the May 6th. The POP portion of the trip was booked on a special "Gift of Magic" promo which includes discounted CDN Park tickets and she has included the dining plan. After it was booked, she invited me to come with them from April 25 to May 3rd. I have an annual pass. The OKW portion is no problem because it was booked with our DVC points, but the POP portion needed to be switched from the package to the discounted room and then have them buy the ticket separately. Would have been no problem but due to some unforeseen circumstances we didn't get to do this until last week. Well needless to say we waited too long and the discounted CDN tickets are no longer available to purchase separately. So in discussing the options with a CM on Friday Feb 14, we were told we had two options. 1) I could be added to the reservation and pay for the park tickets and dining plan and use the amount of the tickets to renew my annual pass later this year. Not my favourite option since I don't know if I will be going to Disney next year as the girls in my family are planning an Aulani trip in 2021. Option 2) is where I need advice, According to the CM on the phone, They can add me to room the night of check in but that would leave me unable to get the dining plan (no big deal) and not have to buy tickets. The only downside is of course no 60 day fastpass+ window for the first 3 days. But a substantial money savings. (Just an FYI the savings on the Discounted tickets for each of them are more than the cost of the tickets for me). I also asked this CM if I could still take the DME and was told I could as long as my daughter was with me since it was her reservation,.
Can anyone confirm that 1) it's okay to add me the day of so I don't have to buy the tickets and I wouldn't get the dining plan. & 2) I can still take the DME even if I am not added to the reservation until I arrive?
Thanks for your help guys.
