How to add people to hotel stay that don’t have Disney accounts?

[FSU Girl]

I have a hotel room booked at the Polynesian and we have room to add my husbands cousins to the room. They don’t have Disney accounts and don’t plan to go into the parks. Just want to hang out with us at the pool. Planning to call Disney to add them. How will this work exactly? I just give them their names? Do I need to create profiles for them on my account, that seems like a hassle. I know when I added my parents on the phone I had to select their profiles to match up so that’s why im wondering how this will work since I don’t have anything to match up. Do I need to get their address and birthdays before doing this?

I’m not 100% sure they don’t have Disney accounts but if they do it hasn’t been used in years. If they do, do they need to give me that information and we become family and friends before I do all this?

If they won’t have park tickets and won’t be on dining reservations, I don’t think they need Disney accounts. They can just get physical room keys to use to access the pool. (I am not sure if Disney accounts are even needed for dining.)

On our trip this coming Aug, my cousin and her. Kids are joining for the first half of our trip. We have a room only reservation and they’re getting tickets from 3rd party. I had to make profiles for them (needed the kids birthdates). At some point she may want/need to have her own MDE acct and I’ll have IT merge her accts. But I had to have a profile for everyone in the room.

No they live an hour away and want to spend the day with us at the pool. We have a 2 bedroom villa booked so there’s room for them to be on the reservation

I remember years ago (pre-MB) I had to give the DOB and address when I added someone to my room.
