right - i didn't read the op's post correctly. I was assuming you were booking a room for yourself and then a second room for friends. I've done this and it is very straightforward...
if you are staying on DVC points and want to book a room at the AP rate for your friends, you will have to have it in your name and, i guess pay the deposit yourself and u will have to be there at check-in, with your photo ID and your AP...
again, i would recommend calling~
