Questions about codes, booking 2 rooms, dining plan...

[NJDisneymom]

sorry if these are dumb questions but I want to be prepared. My parents are coming to Disney with us this year but only for 5 nights (we'll be staying 7 or 8)

If by some chance I get a code then I need to book both rooms right? What if its a public code... Should I still book both of them or let mom book her own? Can we still get adjoining rooms (or whatever Disney calls them, I know they use 2 different terms) if we book separately?

Now, my next question might be more confusing... *IF* we do not get a code and end up paying rack rate OR if a package code comes out I want to change my ressie to include the dining package. BUT if I am booking the 2 rooms does EVERYONE need to be on the package or just everyone in my room? My family of 4 (only 3 paying, 2 year old doesn't count) will be in one room and I'd want the package for us, but my parents in the 2nd room may not feel it is worth it since they will skip some of our character meals.

Any ideas on the best way to do this? Of course it would be much easier if those darn codes were out!!!

Hi
I cannot answer all your questions. I can only tell you that I have had reservations for two rooms (connecting rooms) before with no codes under my name and when the public codes came out I called and had it changed to the discount price. It was very easy to do. I did not have a package, just rooms only.
Good luck, I hope someone answers all your other questions. I am not even sure if I answered one of your questions.

We are going to WDW in September -- 4land/3 sea. We wanted to add the Dining package but was told we'd have to break reservation in order to do so. Since September is a value season and we know that historically, WDW sent those postcards offering great deals, I asked if I could cancel the reservation I made now and re-book at the time the postcard offerings are released. I was told that there will be a $50.00 charge if I go down in price, but no charge if I went up in price. Can anyone confirm?
