when I booked my trip - it asked if there was someone meeting us & if they had already booked - I noticed since my sister is suppose to go with us (we will see - so far I don't think she will come up with the money)
And it asked you that online? Do you remember if it asked for you for the guest's name or their confirmation number?
Three years ago we booked a trip online and thought we had linked our reservation to my mom and dad's. For some reason, I ended up having to call Disney a few weeks following our booking and found out that they were not linked. I would make a call to check and make sure.
As for ADRs, we made our reservations for our entire group rather than separate reservations. It was not a problem.
I have two reservations for November that are linked with a "grand gathering" number. It's written exactly that way on the ressies. I made the reservations about 3 months ago. I know they did away with the grand gathering events, but they seem to still be linking with the same designation on some reservations.We traveled as a group 1 year ago but Grand Gatherings has since been discontinued. They used to handle groups and make sure everything was linked which is why I'm trying to figure out how it works now. Calling to verify is definitely good advice.
