about codes, packages, leaving early on checkout day?

[madge]

with all the talk of the "great deal" coming this weekend....I am seriously considering a split stay. From what I can tell, this deal will be a package. Here's my question--In the past, I have read where people have successfully dropped the portion of the LOS pass when checking in too late or checking out too early to get any use out of the pass...

Does anyone know what happens if you are on a secial deal package? can you still drop that day?

Thanks!

I booked a package a few months ago-have since changed that to room only.

The CM's I spoke with were more than happy to remove the first and last day from the package for the reasons you stated-late arrival, early check-out.

We would have had a room only reservation for the first night and last night. It could turn out to be a pain but she said they try and make things go as easily as possible. You would have to go down to the front desk after your first night and check-in to your room again but with the package-they do not guarantee you will be in the same room but they try very hard. You would have to do much the same your last night there.

I think this would be fine if you were staying at one hotel the entire time but I'm not sure how confusing it would get if you were going to switch hotels mid stay-especially if you had meals or wishes added on to your package. Yes, everything on your package is good until midnight the day you check out but what happens when you technically check-out but check-in somewhere else. Does this void that good until midnight policy?

The short answer is you cannot drop any days from a UPH purchased as part of a package.

You can drop days from the entire reservation and book them as room only like floridafam did but you cannot just drop days off the UPH.

Thanks! That is the answer I expected to hear....Making sure I have this straight. We arrive late in the afternoon Thursday, planning on leaving early on Monday. We will not do any parks on Thursday or Monday. I book room only on Thursday (or a cheap alternative) then I book the package on Friday for 2 nights, which gives me UPH passes for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I check out Monday and re-check in for room only for Sunday. That will gove me no passes for Monday, right?

this probably won't even be that great a deal

one other question....

anyone that has used one of the discount codes to book the dream maker package, is there a minimum stay required? I went to price out a dream maker package online to see what I was looking at before discounts, and it shows a 3-night minimum...has anyone booked a discounted room/UPH package for a shorter (2 night) stay?

Thanks!
