Question About Upgrading to a Package

[mickey58729]

I currently have a room only ressie at the Pop Century for Dec 3-11 and called disney reservations last night to inquire about updgrading it to a package. I was told that you cannot upgrade a room only reservation. I would have to cancel the existing reservation and make a brand new one to do the Dream Maker package. I was wondering if this is true or has someone had any luck doing this. Also, I was quoted $2500 (For 2 Adults) for the Dream Maker Package with the Silver Plan. Is this a good price?

Thanks for all your help

If changing from a room ony reservation to a package, they have to refund any amount you've paid and then book a new package reservation.

As for price, I guess it depends on whether you'll be able to take full advantage of the Silver Plan and the UPH pass. UPH is a length of stay pass good from check in until midnight the day of check out. So if you were to check in late afternoon or evening and leave Disney early on your check it days, you'd be wasting park time. We don't fly in until 6:00 in the evening. We're staying near the airport and the next morning, we'll check in early at our Disney resort. If the room isn't ready, which it probably won't be, we can just leave our luggage with Bell Services. They will issue our room keys which double as UPH passes and then head out to a park. On our last night we have a room only reservation so that we can tour the to our heart's content on our last full day there. Check Mousesavers.com for more details on how to take full advantage of a package.

You may want to price out the basic Dreammaker package, without the Silver plan. I know that when I called, the agent automatically quoted me for the Silver plan, with travel insurance. I had her drop the Silver plan and the insurance and received a lower rate. It does really depend on what you need, which parks you would otherwise visit, etc...
