Help/Question about reservations and My Disney Experience

[TexasLu]

Yesterday, I called Disney and booked two rooms at a value resort for August 2014. My husband and I will be staying in one room and our two daughters (ages 21 and 17) in the second room. When I booked the rooms, the agent set it up as two reservations. My name is on the first reservation and my daughter is on the second reservation. When I asked if it could all be on one reservation, he said that each room you book has to be on different reservations.

Now, I am not sure how to handle things on My Disney Experience. He said I would need an account for my daughter and one for myself and then link the reservations. If I do this, when we go to book dining reservations and fast passes will they automatically include everyone?

Our last visit to Disney was in 2000 and I remember how hard it was to get some of the character dining reservations. I just want to make sure I understand how to reserve the dining and fast passes for everyone together so when we reach the 180 day mark I can make reservations quickly and correctly.

It also looks like when paying I will have to pay for each room with a separate transaction. Does that sound right?

I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks in advance!

I've never booked 2 rooms, but that doesn't sound right. I'd phone back and get another CM and ask.
I have my 27 yr old daughter on my MDE acct. managed by me, so getting FP+'isn't a problem. You would just add all your family to your acct to be managed by you.
As for dining, that shouldn't be a problem. When you make reservations it asks how many are in dining party. So you'd just make the reservation for 4.

It sure is more complicated then it used to be!!

We have two rooms at POP under one reservation. I'd call back and ask someone else.

Not sure if calling is the core issue but when I've booked multiple rooms online because they were both linked to my account I had no issue making reservations for dining or fast pass even though only 1 was in my name. The online system recognized we were all one party.
