As PP said you can't make any changes to a GT reservation.
Sorry that's incorrect as long as the discount is still available you can add a guest. I just add my dh to my cruise next week and have added him in last minute on several other cruises.
Not true.
I didn't know that I must has misunderstood what they were telling me. When I booked my GT reservation they told me at the time of booking that no changes whatsoever were allowed after I made the reservation. I also had to pay for the cruise in full at that date. They Disney person on the phone said over and over again you can't make any changes, you can't remove or add any one and you can't cancel. (You can but you better have insurance as they weren't going to give me my money back
)
Well that's true you can't make changes unless it involves you giving them more money. Why would any cruise lines say no to adding a passenger at an additional fee. You can't remove anyone and get a refund, you cant change sailing date, you can't change discount, you can't cancel, you can't change from a GT rate to a non-GT rate, you can't have more than 4 in a room, and you can't change names of guests, but you can certainly add a person if the rate is still available. They will be more than happy to take your money.I didn't know that I must has misunderstood what they were telling me.

I understand you were allowed to do it. That doesn't mean everyone would be allowed to add a guest to *GT. The rules still state no changes and goes so far as to state "Full legal names of all Guests are required at time of booking and no name changes are allowed." I don't interpret that as adding a guest is allowed. Many times *GT rates don't allow more than 3 guests; it really depends on the cruise. Of course, if OP (and the DH) is willing to take a chance that he can't be added, they are welcome to book now with the confirmed party member(s) and try to add the other later. If that's a deal-breaker for them, I would advise waiting until his work schedule is confirmed and hope a *GT rate is still available.
I’ve done it a dozen or more times and we’re a family of four. I’m not some special exception. I think I’ve explained the rules very well and explained how to determine if you can do it before calling DCL. It was all very clear in my post, but I’ll say it again. If the GT rate is available online for the party size you want you can call Disney and add the person. If it’s not available you can’t. I think I stated that very clearly.
Ours didn’t go up, but the port taxes did. The taxes are really high out of Miami. The price of the first and second guess will go up when you add more people, but the third and fourth will be less.
Weird I’ve never seen GT rates change, but I’m pretty quick to book if I’ve been waiting on it to drop. Glad mom could go.
They have changed but not by much. We booked our Dream cruise which sails next Monday, back in May. Ds22 was considering joining us with a friend. The price was around $1379 for VGT when we booked and it was slightly over $1400 when he was considering it. Maybe $1425?
