Couple of Quick Planning Questions

[BobbyBond2]

We are all set for our DVC August 24 trip to CCV! We'll be staying in a 2BR this year, so we are extremely excited about the space! We haven't been back to WDW since 2022, so I just need to get refreshed on some of the changes.

ADRs - These are only available 60 Days out, correct?

Extra Evening Magic Hours - I know August's schedule hasn't been released yet, but are these still happening for Deluxe and DVC resort guests? I see WDW has these as "pay" events on their website.

Is it possible to have 3 Magic Bands Linked to one Credit Card and 3 Others linked to another if they are on the same MDE account?

Thanks in advance!

ADRs are 60 days out from checkin day, you can book for whole trip that day, up to 10 days. There extensed evening hours for deluxe/dvc guests are not paid. But there After Hours that are ticketed; different thing. I do not think August Extended hours are out yet, but could be wrong. You can set up separate charging at the front desk at checkin. We had 3 cards set up.

Correct! 60 days from your check-in day + 10 days into your vacation. So if you're staying for, say, a week, you'll be able to book every ADR for the week at the 60 day mark.

Extra Evening Magic Hours - I know August's schedule hasn't been released yet, but are these still happening for Deluxe and DVC resort guests? I see WDW has these as "pay" events on their website.

Yes, as far as we know, the free Extended Evening Hours for Deluxe/DVC resort guests will still continue through August. The "Disney After Hours" ticketed events you see online for an additional cost are unrelated.

Is it possible to have 3 Magic Bands Linked to one Credit Card and 3 Others linked to another if they are on the same MDE account?

. edited, i was wrong!

No, this is sadly not possible. Room charging is unfortunately not related to MDE. You can only use one credit card to make charges to your room, so if everyone is staying in the same 2BR suite, they will only be able to use their MBs to charge to the one credit card on file.

This is absolutely not true. As long as you go to the FD, each person/MB, as long as they are staying in the room, can have different credit cards linked to each band. If there are 5 people in the room, there can be 5 different credit cards on file - one for each person. I go with my sister and her kids every year for one of my trips and we have seperate accounts. My charges that I make with my MB go to my account and my credit card on file at the resort, not hers - and we are in the same room. I do advise you to check the charges prior to leaving because sometimes something can get posted to the wrong account, but it is easy to fix at the FD.

Agree that it's not true you can't have more than one credit card per room. We do it most trips with family and friends. It is something that we've always gone to the front desk to make sure it's handled right - at least 2 different credit cards for most stays.

I am wondering, however, what the OP means by 'on the same MDE account'? Each person should have their own MDE account, and they can be linked via friends & family and plan sharing. Just making sure they're not all signing into the a single MDE account - I'm probably really overthinking that, sorry! But you can have more than one credit card for charging in the same room.

Yup! Not true. When my mom and I go, she adds her credit card at check-in since there isn't a way to add it separately on MDE (I always make the reservation so my CC is on file). So you absolutely can have multiple cards. We took a trip with my family of 4, my mom, and MIL and we had 3 cards attached to our room.
