My family will be at WDW in late May for a six-day trip, and we are staying at the Dolphin. We booked the package through Costco Travel, and it comes with six days of Park Hoppers.
Because we are arriving at our hotel fairly early in the afternoon (around 3pm), and it's on an EMH day for Magic Kingdom, we were hoping we could simply add a 7th day, which wouldn't be too much more since we already have six. However, Disney can't do that for us without paying for a single park ticket at full price, since we booked our tickets through a "third party". Costco Travel can't do it without me canceling the entire package and re-booking it (and losing all our reservations and fast passes - not gonna happen)
HOWEVER, the lady I spoke with over the phone at Disney said that occasionally upon arrival, some people may be able to personally visit the ticket kiosk and they might be able to work with us. So my question is...
Have any of you had any experience similar to this, or can you give me a little more or less reassurance? Basically we are having a hard time planning our first afternoon/evening without having a better idea of whether we will have access to the parks. We don't want to count on getting in (and we aren't paying the $600 or so for us to go in one evening), but we also don't want to totally rule it out unless it's virtually impossible (and then we'll simply go to Disney Springs and enjoy Raglan Road following a nice dip in the pool!).
