Please help!! Many rooms....one discount code

[Bastiansmom]

A few months ago, my immediate family decided to go back to WDW. We suggested to MIL and FIL that they should go too. We pay for ourselves, they pay for themselves. I told MIL to sign up for disney emails/ the DVD and that she might get discounts. She got a pin code for the free dining plan!
They booked a room and we used their discount to book a room for us and some friends (3 rooms total, the max for one code). We are traveling in October.

Tonight she calls me and tells me they changed their reservation and that they are leaving 3 days early. I got upset because 1. she didn't tell me beforehand and I tell her EVERYTHING I do / change/ idea I have about the trip and 2. I was (am) afraid that since we are on her reservation we all have to travel on the same time. The discussion got very heated between her and DH (I don't know why) and she said she was going to cancel.

If she cancels or changes her reservation does it affect ours? One of our reservations is paid in full, the other isn't. Does that make a difference?

THANK YOU FOR READING!! AND I APPRECIATE THE ADVICE ANYONE CAN GIVE!!

I would think that since the PIN is in her name she has to be there. But you never know. With Disney the rules aren't really rules, just guidelines. I would call and ask them what happens if...

I know it doesn't matter if her departure date is earlier than yours. Not sur what happens if your arrival is earlier or she cancelled altogether.

I'm not sure, but I think as long as it's the person with the pin code who's checking in earlier, you should be okay. From what I understand, the "pin code person" needs to be there when you check-in and your MIL will still be there when the rest of you arrive.

Now get your dh and MIL talking again! Disney is no place for arguments!

Thank you to everyone who responded last night or this morning! I was very worried about what would happen and of course, she sprung this news on me after reservations were closed so I couldn't call and ask.

I just got off the phone and they told me it didn't matter when or even if she travelled, our reservation stayed in tact. They also told me that they quite often have issues with family / friends etc cancelling each other's reservations out of spite. (All night I worried that she might cancel our reservation, she was that upset last night - for no reason). The agent told me to change all address, phone number, and zip code on my reservation. If she doesn't know what the reservation is booked under, she can't mess with it!! Like I said, this has happened before according to Disney reps.

Once again, thank you for your help! Everything seems to be working out okay.
