Package vs room only

[momto4kid]

I am trying to book a trip with all four kids- three in college and one HS. Due to different spring breaks/sports they will be coming and going on different dates w/in the week. What I've read is for the Visa 0% APR for six months it has to be a package. Am I able to purchase only a couple days worth of tickets for a few of the kids and multiple day for me and another or do they all have to be the same?

On a package everyone gets the same thing.

You can book a ticketless package, but you have to call in to do it.

Everyone booked on a package must have the same components -- length of stay, length of ticket and dining (if included). Your best option is to book a room-only and then buy tickets for each person based on what they need. If you want the Visa financing offer for the room part, you can book it as a "ticketless package" as mentioned above. But the tickets (which are probably the largest part of your expense) will not qualify.

You could buy the minimum length ticket for everyone, and then upgrade those who need longer once you arrive. The challenges with this option include not being able to buy/book LLMP/LLSP in advance for the full vacation, and there is a the (slight) risk of not being able to add-on for your dates during spring break.

Also with budgeting be aware of the "extra adult" charge if more than 2 people over age 18 are in a room. The cost will vary depending on which resort but it can add up quickly over a week.
