How to book so I can upgrade/downgrade later if needed?

[TheRatPack]

Okay, I need to book the cheapest package for a short May trip, don't want to push the pay off date if I can add tickets upon check in. I'm was thinking the Spring offer, but no tickets....but that makes it a 'non-package' right? So then if I received a PIN later or another deal like FDing came out, I wouldn't be able to upgrade the reservation without cancelling and rebooking. So do I book a 1 day ticket? Or is that Spring deal a package even without a ticket?

Thanks!!!

You can do the spring deal as a room only. If you make t a package now you'll have to pay it off 45 days out. I don't think you need to worry about FD coming out for May. I'd book what you need now.

Do you think any discounts will come out for May other than the Spring discount? We want to go earlier in May but the dining plan has always been our best discount.....since we stay Value the current discount doesn't really do a whole lot for us.

Thank you

No, I think they're done with May. The current discount booking ends in March so you could always wait to find out. I don't think they've offered more than a room discount in May for awhile.

Our luck LOL....we booked our first Cruise for October (our normal WDW travel time) and while we're excited....we are kind of sad that we're going to miss out on the parks this year. I was trying to get a trip in Spring before most schools let out and the parks get too crowded but looks like it might be off the planning table if I can't figure the budget out. It's so expensive when there aren't any larger family discounts.

Thanks again for all the help.

If I book a 1 Day ticket to make it a package it only gives 2 choices.....the MK 1 day ticket or the other parks 1 day ticket. It says the 1 day MK can't be used to enter any other park....BUT if I upgrade tickets (to a 3 day) when I arrive, will this first ticket still be limited to MK only? So funny how they distinguish a 1 day ticket for certain parks.
