I have a few questions about a fall trip. We have a couple family members who have decided to come with us for part of the trip and I am trying to figure out details and the best way to go about it while saving money. Here are the details for any input.
My family: Renting DVC BCV 9/17-9/27. 3 adults, 1 teen, 1 infant. DH & I will have APs and my mom hasn't decided if she will buy a AP yet. DS may or may not be coming for the entire trip but we won't even know if he is allowed to come at all until right before the trip (he is in foster care so lots of red tape). We are using TIW and paying OOP for food.
Cousin & husband: Caribbean Beach 9/20-9/29 Free Dining, 7 day tickets.
We were thinking about adding DS and my mom to my cousin's reservation and buying the 7 day tickets so that we can get the extra free dining credits and lessen the amount we are paying OOP for food. We can always use the tickets on another trip if my mom ends up with an AP. Would this work? Do you get paper tickets or would they be automatically linked to a MB? I just want to make sure we can save them for later if we need to.
Regarding above scenario, that would make 4 magic bands on my cousin's account. Can they all be used to access the free dining since they will be linked to a package/ticket even if the ticket isn't used for entry on that trip?
Memory Maker...in total our group will be there 9/17-9/29. Do we each have to buy a MM or is there a way that we can pay for one and share for the entire time? How would that work and what would we need to do? I am going to be the planner for the trip so I will be the one who pays for it and keeps it on my account but I want to make sure my cousin and her husband will be able to use it for the 2 days they are there after we leave.
Sorry for all the questions, they just decided tonight they wanted to try and come so we are trying to figure out the best way to work it out. Not trying to circumvent any system but if we can move our guests around to save money and share MM we definitely want to.
Thanks!
