2 rooms on 1 reservation?

[PrincessJen09]

We have 5 adults and would like to have two rooms at the Yacht Club. Is there a way to put them on the same reservation? We were going to do the Free Dining, but it seems so expensive with the two rooms. We had the idea of doing one room with the 5 adults with the tickets. Then have a second room with no tickets on it. Would that work? Anyone have any other suggestions or have tried something else? Thanks!

We are going in November and we will also have 5 in our party. What we had to do was book one room and package with three of us and the second room and package with the other two in our party. When you log on to to MDE app, you will link all of your tickets and dining together.

When we were looking at it, it was so much more expensive to do it that way. Did you find that?

Most rooms on property will not allow 5 people, unless one is under 3 years old.

The room I am looking at the Yacht Club does allow 5 adults, but we do not want to have all 5 adults stay there. What we would like to do is to have one room with all 5 adults on it for the Free Dining and then get a second room with one person on it with a room discount. It is to help us save money. I wish Disney offered a suite for 5 adults. Does what we want to do make sense? Is that allowed?

One issue that I can see is the room key. I wouldn't think one person would have access to two different rooms on their MB/account at the same time. You may have to create a dummy account for the room only people (and you would need to register the correct number of people so they can all get access unless they are fine with basically sharing a single key). They would then have two different accounts/bands. One with the dinning and I'm assuming park tickets which will be connected to the first room and another just connected to the other.

How would you create a dummy account? Is that like what I have seen people talking about throw away rooms? You would think that with all of our visits there that I would know how to work this out!

But wouldn't you still have to put all of the names onto the 2nd room and then risk having Disney think that you are double-booked (since the names would be the same on the two rooms) and could cancel both reservations?

Not sure but that would be my concern

 

[PrincessJen09]

Well we wouldn't need everyone on that room, just two of the people actually. Maybe we should call the booking line? We were just trying to figure out how to save a little money since there are so many adults going.

With 5 adults they won't put them on the same reservation. You'll also be paying an extra $75 per night doing this.

The only cost difference should be the additional room when you book two packages if you're getting the same thing for everyone.

You can save $120-180 per room, per night with the room only discount. That should cover the cost of purchasing dining plans. It would also give you more flexibility in your choice of park tickets.

You can't do what you are proposing to do. You can't have one person on two reservations. And, as others have pointed out, the others who may want to sleep in that extra room won't have an MB to open the door, plus listing 5 adults in one room will cost you an extra $75 per night for that room.

If you want to book FD for your entire party, you'll need to put 2 in one room and 3 in another. This should actually total less than what you are proposing as your extra adult fee will now only be $25 per night instead of $75.

 

[Indio]

Yeah, they stick it to you with that "extra adult" fee. Never understood that - if the room sleeps 5 what difference does it make how old the 5 people are?!?! It's just ridonkulous!!

 

[PrincessJen09]

The extra room is the price difference. It just makes it a lot more expensive without some kind of discount. We want the FD. I priced it out both ways and we save a few hundred with FD.

We priced it out and using the FD in one room and the room discount on the other saves about $1000. We could just list the two people on the room only room.

I thought that I had read that someone else had done it, but maybe that is because the second room had minors in it.

 

[aaarcher86]

If you just list the 2 adults on the RO they won't get free dining.

Once you remove the extra $75 per night you're saving less. Obviously 2 rooms is expensive. You'll just have to weigh the pros and cons vs the cost. Maybe move to a mod so it's not as pricey.

If you have to split up in the rooms the RO discount might be a better savings on both rooms,

My family wants to be at this resort because it is my sister's boyfriend's first time. I guess I am not understanding why you can't be on two rooms? I am so confused.
