Hello Dis folks--would love some advice on what to do with an upcoming stay.
We are currently booked at BWI CL standard room for 5 nights going into Columbus Day weekend. It's for a celebration of multiple family milestones plus MNSSHP so we are doing CL as a special event. We have 5 people in our party. Just found out my sister can join for part of the stay. The deluxe BWI CL rooms sleep 6 but are not available for our dates. I have been checking every day just in case one opens up; if so then that would solve the problem.
Right now Dad will be there nights 1, 2 and 3. Sister will be there nights 3, 4 and 5. So on night 3 we need to get a second room unless a deluxe room that sleeps 6 opens up.
I would like to get the CL FPs because we will be there during the Columbus Day weekend and the crowds will be big. My understanding is that a person needs to have 3 CL nights booked to qualify for the CL FPs.
Right now I have Dad on the room reservation for nights 1-5. He will be there for nights 1-3, so I will purchase CL FPs for the 5 of us 90 days out, including dad, but not sister since she doesn't have a hotel reservation yet (but does have an AP). On day 4 I will let the front desk know that sister has arrived and will be moving into our room for nights 4 and 5, and that Dad has left. That gets her onto our room for nights 4 and 5, gets Dad off the reservation, and we are under room capacity, so great.
So here's (finally!!) the question:
Is there a way to buy CL FPs for sister too? If I make a club level room reservation for her for night 3, then she'll only have a 1 night stay on record with Disney (since she won't be added to our room until day 4) so she still wouldn't qualify for the 3 day stay for eligibility. Should I make a 3 day club room reservation for her, buy the CL FPs and then cancel nights 2 and 3? That seems like it could be a problem and maybe we would lose the FPs? Or can I buy FPs for Dad for all 5 nights, then switch them to sister after Dad leaves? They both have APs for what it's worth.
I called Disney today but the CM said they hadn't encountered something like this before and recommended getting 2 club level rooms for 5 nights, but that seems like overkill (and completely blows the budget). Any advice?
