Adding a Person at Check-In

[MickeyDee]

So, I have seen from several different sources where people have booked a package with dining for a certain number of people...then at the last minute, someone else decides to go, so the party shows up at check-in with this person and is able to add them to their reservation, but not to the actual package.

Is this really possible? I ask, because, due to a very long, complicated story, my sister and I are going on the 21st. We have the dining plan...and now my beloved girlfriend is going too, but we don't have the moola to pay for the dining plan for her in addition, so to avoid booking another room off property, can we just show up with her at check-in and add her to the room without adding her to the dining plan.

Hopefully I'm making sense. But does anyone have any experience with this? I asked in another venue and didn't really get much of a response.

Any help anyone can provide is truly appreciated!!!

You need to call CRO to see what they say. You'll have to pay the extra adult fee.

It's always been my experience with packages, that everyone in the room has to be on the same one. Our oldest DD is in college and we added her after she arrived the following day. She had to have the same thing as the rest of us. It may all depend on the CM who checks you in.

My daughter has done this with her 17 yo step son. But this was in 2004 so I don't know of any changes. I would try it.

I really can't imagine them turning you down on that but I say it's better not to be surprised at the front desk. Just give them a quick call and clear things up before you go. It will be worth it for your peace of mind. Good luck.
