2 Rooms Reserved - Check In Question

[5DisneyNuts]

I can't seem to get a straight answer when I call WDW, so I was hoping one of you could help.

I have 2 room packages (tickets and DDP) reserved at the BWI for my DH's birthday trip using the special email code that I received in February. One room is for DH and me and the other is for his brother and wife. Both rooms are reserved under my name and I will be paying for both. We are arriving on 12/19 which is the last night for value season.

I just found out that my brother-in-law and wife may not be able to arrive until 12/20. Can I still check in for both rooms without them on the 19th?

Since it is such a hassle to change reservations that were made with the code I would rather pay for the extra night. Switching one of the rooms to 12/20 might result in losing the discount (since the booking period with the code is over). Also since 12/20 starts holiday season, I wouldn't be paying that much more for the extra night. I would think we would have a better chance at receiving adjoining rooms too.

Thanks in advance for the help!

If the reservation is in your name for both rooms it wouldn't be a problem. If you don't mind paying for a room that will empty for one night it should be any problem.

Thanks safetymom! I was hoping that would be the case. I was surprised to find out the difference in paying for the room for 4 nights value season with the discount was not much more at all than paying for 3 nights holiday season.

Also, I am hoping we will have a better chance at getting adjoining rooms if I check in at the same time.

PS. I love the picture of your granddaughter - adorable!

Thank you. Just be sure to have reservations note that you are requesting connecting rooms. You do want the door between the rooms correct? Adjoining just means next to each other.
