AP rooms - can a kid be a lead?

[Mama Lo]

I will need three rooms at Disney, my boys 12 & 14 and I are all AP holders.

Can I book 3 AP rate rooms.

One son and I will stay in one, one will have my son and his friend and the other will be a friend and her son.

Can I book mine and my friends with my pass and have my son book his room under his pass?

Thanks!

Unless something has changed, I thought you could book 3 AP discounted rooms with one AP. The problem is that an adult has to be listed as the lead on a room reservation.

An under-18 can never be a room lead.

Thanks @tobikaye and @_auroraborealis_ ,

So I will have to be the lead on two rooms since we will have 3 rooms and only 2 adults.

I hope that it's true that I can book three rooms. Sounds much easier.

From what I understand (and was told previously), at least one adult has to be listed on each room. I tried to book connecting rooms at Pop for me and 4 kids and I was told I could not.

So what did you do? Surely there has to be a way for one adult traveling with 3 or 4 kids to get two rooms.

I will just put myself as lead on both rooms.

I don't believe they allow that. By the way your son and his friend are not allowed to be in a room on their own. Unless you end up with connecting rooms (which are only a request) and adult has to sleep in each room.

I know Disney is magical but I doubt they can cut me in half or maybe they do cloning.

Ask for connecting rooms. There have been many reports of one adult traveling with a bunch of kids and getting two rooms that connect.

true, but there is nothing occupancy related prohibiting them from all being in one room together, so this may not be applicable.

This reservation is going to get super messy you can't be the lead in two rooms at the time. Plus the kids MB will be all off. I think you are better off looking at suites or DVC. I don't see how from a reservation perspective this will work.

But they can tell you "Too bad, so sad."

You can not be the lead on both rooms. There is no occupancy reason the other 2 kids can't be in one of the other rooms. If Disney finds you allowed them to be in a room without an adult there, they can tell you to solve it or leave.

You have to be at least 18 to be a lead guest on a room reservation at WDW.

Disney is a magical place, but it is also a business and needs to adhere to liability concerns. One must be 18 to be held to a contract....so no one under 18 can rent a room, be lead on a room, or stay in a room alone. You may be better off looking at villas.

 

[MakiraMarlena]

yep. 18 and over need to be registered on all rooms. Minors are not permitted to rent a hotel room, nor are they permitted to stay in one without an adult also registered. You can ask for connecting rooms and see what they will do, but the point is that you could put them in a room with an adult, it's just your preference for them to be in a room by themselves, and legally you can't register them that way. If you're mostly interested in everyone having their own bed, maybe look at a family suite, or a villa.

If, and it's just an if, they were to list Mom, the two boys, the friend of the boy...now makes 4, add the friend's ds..now it's 5. That would necessitate two rooms. The friend could be on her own reservation.

I thought they wanted three rooms.

Your best bet is to call Disney and ask them how they resolve this for reservation purposes, instead of asking here.
Yes, it will be allowed. All the under-18 groups that come to Disney with chaperones do not have an adult in each room so obviously there is a way to do it.

The OP does want three rooms.

I am not sure under these circumstances it will be allowed. I worked in the administrative offices for a school system and when our groups traveled together they needed special paperwork to cover the children. This was not my area so I cannot pretend to know the details, but I had the impression that the groups needed to provide proof of responsibility, etc. There is a huge difference between a want that the OP has indicated she wants, and a need that a a group of students entails.

The point is, only WDW can tell her what they can and can't accommodate in this situation. The people here are commenting that it cannot be done in any way, shape, or form which is false.
