I just got off the phone with CRO, tell me if this makes any sense?

I wanted to add a day on to the begininng of my stay, but since we are arriving at 9 pm I wanted room only. My orginal reservation was room and UPH passes using a CUD code that has now expired. She could do it using the same rates if I went with both, but not room only. UGH! So $363 for room at CR and UPH's for all 5 of us or $286 for just the room. Any ideas as to how to get around this? Why can't she book it using the code and then take off the passes after she books it? I was surprised that if we changed nothing we could even use this expired code. Oh well I guess we will have to stay somewhere else the first night.
Thanks for listening

Why not book room only under another reservation number or your spouse's name and explain why you don't need to be moved at check in?

I am assuming you are purchasing a "package" from CRO.

We never purchase the package deal, since you often get stuff you won't use. You could do just the hotel room and then purchase your UMP when you check in.

CRO doesn't have the ability to drop the first or last day off of the UMP. The front desk does at check-in. On our last trip, we checked in at 3:00, and dropped both the first (since the parks closed at 6:00) and the last day from our UMP. The front desk didn't even blink when I requested this.

You can also get a discount on the UMP if you are a Disney Club member. Depending on your length of stay and number of people in your party, this can pay for the DC membership (29.95).

You may also want to look into park hoppers, since the days never expire. What the UMP, you lose the day if you don't go to the theme parks.

Hope this helps!
