Need Help! A little worried...

[AprilJ26]

I just booked our stay at RPR with AA miles through American Airlines website. I listed 2 adults and 3 children (ages 1, 8, and 12) when booking the reservation. However, when the time came to confirm the ressie and list the names of everyone staying, the form only allowed me to list the names of the 2 adults and the 8 year old and 12 year old children. There was not place to list my 1 year old. I called AA and asked about this and they said that children under 2 do not need to be listed on the reservation through their site. I am concerned that this will cause problems with our early entry and express pass. Do children under 2 require a hotel key card for early entry and FOTL even though they are free to get in the park? If so, how difficult will it be to add him to the ressie when we get there? Anyone with help is greatly appreciated!!!

As long as you booked a 2 queen room don't worry. You will add him when you get there at checkin. We do this all the time. Sometimes we book a room for 2 adults and our 1 child then at the last minute one of his friends will join.

Whew! Thanks for the help! I was beginning to panic a little. I don't want to have to pay any change reservation charges or anything because I already feel like I sold my soul to purchase the room for 2 nights

Did you check the price directly through the hotel first? Sometimes it's cheaper with their deals.

I did check through the site but we're only staying for 2 nights so the Stay More Save More wasn't really going to help us. We had enough airline miles to cover almost all of the reservation and the miles were just a sign up bonus with the AA credit card so it was basically free $500 towards our stay. Only we could have stayed at an off site hotel and gotten free park tickets in addition to the hotel for the same miles we booked the on site room alone. I decided I'd just rather pay for my park tickets and enjoy my short lines even if it did cost us a few hundred more!

Ok, that sounds great. You should enjoy your trip. What are your dates?
