I'm pretty new to all of this, so your advice is needed! I'll be at POR from 4/21 to 4/25 with two boys, ages 14 and 15. Since I don't have my own kids (I'm borrowing them from my next door neighbors) I find myself in a situation I've never encountered. The youngest has a friend who moved to FL last year. I told him we could invite him to join us for a day if his parents would drive him from Tampa. Well, that has now morphed in his staying with us Friday and Saturday night. My question is should I call POR and let them know we will have an extra kid? He's all set to sleep on the floor with an extra pillow and blanket, but maybe a trundle bed would be better? I don't mind paying extra if that is the right thing to do, but don't want to add him to my whole package rate (tickets, etc). Also, I booked through Expedia so I don't even know if they'll know about me yet. Has anyone booked through Expedia and then called to add a room request to the reservation? This is all so much easier when I'm just just traveling with a friend. I've never done this much planning before!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
 
Technically, a trundle bed is limited to children under 9. So I wouldn't pay extra, but request Alligator Bayou and maybe you'll get a room with a trundle and he'll be able to fit on it. I've read that it's small, though. I wouldn't worry about adding it to the reservation as you don't have to pay extra for children.
 
The trundle is somewhat small but my 3 kids have all slept on it from the ages of 5 - 13 so can't be too bad! They fight over it!
 
Thanks! I feel much better. Didn't want to be sneaking the kid in under cover of darkness. The 13 year old is on the small side, so if we get one of the trundles it may be better than the floor. I'll try to request Aligator Bayou and hope for the best. I've stayed in the mansions and was thinking of requesting AB this time based on all the wonderful things I've read about it on this board. Thanks again!
