Different Occupants on Different Nights?

[Grand Koalafornian]

Hi there,

The story: my sister might join my wife and me for a few nights of our 7 night trip. I want her to be able to get into the room with her magic band and I don't want to lie to Disney about the number of occupants in the room. But I don't want to pay for another occupant for 7 nights, if she's only be there for 2 or 3 nights.

• Is there any way to have a different number of occupants in a room on different nights?
• Does it require two different reservations?
• Would we need to check out and check back in?
• Might we need to move rooms?

Staying at Pop in late April/early May 2022, if that matters at all.

At the beginning or the end of the trip? Or in the middle?

Since MDE is not a concern in 2022 (well, free MDE), you can either do two (or three) different reservations, which would require checking in and out and possibly moving rooms (and thus being "homeless" for 5+ hours of the day.

Or the alternative (and easier) way would be to book one continuous reservation and have her added as a guest on the nights that she will be there (do it in the morning of the night that she will be there). Just go to the front desk to add her as a guest and be prepared to pay the extra occupant rat e($20-30?). Then the day she checks out, make sure to go to the front desk to have her removed, so you aren't charged the extra nights after she leaves (assuming she is in the front or middle of the trip.)

Thank you!!! We'll do the front desk thing. I think she's coming in the middle, but we're still not sure yet. She has to work out some travel dates with her work, first.

I hadn't even thought about transportation to/from the airport for her, yet. The rest of my family on the trip (my mother, MIL, my wife and me) will be driving down from my MIL's home near Jacksonville, FL so transportation just kind of slipped my mind.

There is no ME (magical express) as of 1/1/2022 so she won't need to be added on sooner than later (said MDE above. Oops)
