Adding friends to my account for ADRs

[SYDNCLAIRESMOM]

Hi All! we are going on a group trip in August with some friends that have never been. We are purchasing DVC in the next few weeks so hoping to use our points at most likey SSR or OKW and they are staying at either the Swan or Dolphin on points they have through Starwood. I would like to add them to my account for certain dining ADRs but dont want to do the rest their planning such as FP etc... they will most likely be creating their own account for all of that. Can I add them to my account just to add them to some of our ADRs while they still maintain their own separate account? If so how?

List their names in your MDX Friends and Family list. If you don’t want to use their names, list Friend1, Friend2, etc.

You don't need to add anyone to your MDE account to include them in your ADR's. When you go in to make your ADR's, simply make the ADR for the number of people who will be dining at that meal.

Yep. I have often added my cousin and his wife to our ADR. On our trip next month we have a group of 4 friends that will join us for a couple of meals.
I don't have either in my MDX account. Nor are they needed. Names aren't needed for any more than 1 person in an ADR, from there you just need a total number.
When you go to the screen where you CAN assign each name, just click Continue, leaving no names on any but your name.
