Best Way to do This

[aljack34]

We are going in June starting with a party of 4. 3 of that party will stay from Friday to Monday at Pop Century. The other person will be joined by one person coming on Monday staying to Friday.

So, can I book ONE room for the 7 nights and 3 of us leave on Monday and the other two stay until Friday OR should I book two rooms: one from Friday to Monday and the other Monday to Friday?

I know I would have to book everything separate as far as tickets. I am thinking if I do the first option, the only problem would be the one person joining on Monday just would not have room access with his band? And his tickets would be bought separately.

Any help on which option is doable and the most price effective would be appreciated.

You need to do two reservations as you cannot list 5 people on a room at Pop. Plus, if everyone is 18 and over, you are going to run into extra adult fees once you have more than 2 adults in the room and you wouldn't want all of those extra adults still on a reservation once they leave on Monday. I would book Pop, party of 4 from Friday to Monday and then another Pop reservation, party of 2 Monday through Friday. I would still purchase tickets separately as it sounds like the person going from Friday through Friday will need a longer length-of-stay ticket than all others in the room.

I am also doing a vacation in June that involves 3 rotations of guests coming and going over the course of 12 days and I just booked 3 separate reservations. It was the easiest and most finically logical way to book the vacation as everyone will need different day tickets and the number of people in the rooms will flux frequently. I am the only constant though so everything is linked from beginning to end through MDE making it one long vacation plan It also pays to ask the members of your party if they are military/AAA members/corporate member(work for a hospital etc) as 3 of my guests just happened to apply to these categories and got themselves discounts on park tickets w/o even knowing they were sitting on a great deal Good Luck!

Would I need to even list the 5th person on the reservation. 3.are leaving when the 5th is coming. He could use one of those bands to enter the room but purchasing his own tickets for the park.

The 5th person won't get DME if he is not listed on the reservation. IMHO, things would just be a lot easier with two separate reservations with everyone listed on the reservation they will actually be on. I would suggest, if you do two reservations, when you check in on the first one, letting the front desk know that one of the people in your room has a continuing reservation (the second reservation) and would like to stay in the same room if possible.
