How did you add them on after...that is where I am having an issue. Did you add them through Orbitz or Disney. Both tell me they cannot!

I'd like to know as well.

I've used Orbitz MANY times in the past for those who are concerned.
I also wanted to update on my experience with Disney thus far. I booked on Orbitz last week. The next day, I got my Disney number from orbitz (chatted wiht CS) and then called Disney to add the reservation and cancel my Disney reservation. It as added to the MDE site. My 60 day mark was 2 days ago and I did online checking. At that time, I changed the address because when you book through Orbitz, the reservation ends up with Orbitz' address (it's always like this, regardless of the hotel). I put in two requests - lake view and highest floor available.
Let's see... I still need to call and add my celebrations. I couldn't do that when Disney "adopted" the reservation. I also have to call and get celebrations added to my dining reservations since I made those online so I have to do both at the same time... So far it has been very easy.
When you got your Disney confirmation number and added it to MDE, did it show your kids as children? I booked 1 adult, 1 child...but when I pull up my confirmation on the Disney site, it shows 2 adults. Orbitz has assured me that the correct information has been passed on to the resort.
I would feel better if I could get it on MDE, but it won't let me without saying my 6 year old is an adult.
I called Disney and they said they cannot share any information with me since I booked through Orbitz.
Just FYI the "child vs. adult" issue does not seem to matter if you are booking a family suite at either AoA or ASMu.
I put in 5 guests (2 adults, 3 kids, 1 room) and did a search with the Spring20 code and came up with this for 6 nights:
$1232.26 for ASMu
$1540.96 for AoA.
The results were exactly the same when I entered 1 Adult, 1 child or 2 adults.
Unfortunately this does not help me since the other families traveling with us are all staying in standard rooms and none of them want to stay at All Star Music. They would love to stay at AoA but there are no standard rooms available there. I am just not sure whether it is worth changing our POP AP reservation and then having to deal with the hassle of adding the kids, especially if the others are not on board and our linked reservations get all messed up.
First orbitz booking so... Was lost.
For ME you can call after 3 days ( as told to me by ME operator) or
Go to www.disneysmagicalexpress.com you can enter the 6 digit confirmation number(mix of numbers and letters, that came in email )and follow prompts. At the end I received an email confirmation.
I scheduled my ME on Wed 3/6 online.
I got emails about both of my trips from ME right away and got return booklet already.
It looks the same as when you book at Disney.
I have not received my 4/3 arrival yet but will call if don't get by Saturday since I got return booklet this past Monday (3/11).
For those with kids.... I called Orbitz and it took me two days and many phone calls to get someone who knew how to add the kids. I booked a ressie with 2 adults told them that children were not charged in Disney. One lady got it and easily took my kids info and faxed the request to add the two kids onto the ressie over at POR. A few hours later I put the 12 digit code into the Disney site and it shows 2 adults and 2 children. I then booekd ME online because trying to call them got me no where. They could not accesss my ressie even with the 12 digit number. My info was Orbitz info which I did change online but even when calling it still has Orbitz info. So trying to change it in the computer does not work. I admit is was a HUGE mess but worth it because I saved over 200.00.... Keep calling until you get someone over at Orbitz that know hows to add the kids and fax the info over. I checked with Disney and we are all set. ME however, I still worry about. I booked inline and got a conformation but cannot even talk with anyone over at ME about the ressie because of the Orbitz info.

Tried the code at work and got a discount. Tried it just now and it wasn't valid. Strange. Anyone have that problem?
Did they tell you when to call back to add the celebrations? I am assuming that it would be around the same time you could call to add kids. Must have something to do with the computer and status of the ressie.
I just called Disney directly....after changing my address/phone # thru the online check in screens....and added the 3 kids to my ressie. He said for future issues to please contact orbitz but had no problem adding the kids for me. I didn't mention orbitz, so it shows in their system. I just went back into my ressie on MDE and it has all 5 of us now.
