If I book a room only reservation...

[kmdrago1783]

and I want to buy tickets from Disney direct (vs. Undercover Tourist), can I buy them separately so that it doesn't convert my RO reservation to a package? But still link them to my reservation? I like the payment terms of the room only reservation but may want to buy the tickets from Disney for less hassle since buying from UT doesn't really save me that much.

Yes! You can do that. That's how we book our reservations. We never do packages. We book room only and tickets seperate. I currently have a room only reservation and my set of tickets liked to MDE. I still have to buy my grandmothers tickets. So yes totally works.

Yes, most definitely. Before I had an AP that's what I'd do. No worries of that converting anything to a package. Have fun!

Yes, lots of people do that. It's only a package if you initially reserve it as a package. After linking your tickets, you get to do 60 day FP+, just like those with packages, and your tickets will automatically be loaded to your resort Magic Band.

Thanks everyone! Can this be done online or do I have to call?

I do mine online. I find it easier to do online bookings for Disney trips but do what is easiest for you.

Yep - do everything online.

Thanks everyone! Just cancelled my package and rebooked as a room only. Now, just waiting until closer to our trip for possible discounts.

Even when we didn't have AP - we always booked room only. We too like the terms better. I bet you will save money too.

This is how we have ALWAYS done it, except for the one and only time booking a package (many moons ago) actually was a better deal. Buying tickets and linking them on MDE was a breeze, btw.
