I have a question for all of you. Please help!
When making reservations and checking into the hotel. Does the person that makes the reservations (ie. the name the room is booked under). Does that person have to have an annual pass in their name?
Let me see if I can explain better.
In December my fiance and I are going to WDW with my two parents for 10 days. My dad is securing the reservations and we are hoping to use an AP discount if available. Now I realize that all four of us don't need to have AP's only one of us. But can my dad book and pay for the reservations under his name and me buy the AP? or does my dad need to buy the AP?
What I'm essentially asking to use the AP rate, does the same person that makes reservations and pays for the rooms, do they need to have the AP in their name or can the AP be for one of the other party members?
My parents are making the reservations and paying for the rooms but my fiance and I would like to have the AP's in our names because we are more likely to spend every day of our trip in the parks and we are more likely to return within a year. My parents might spend a day in each park.
Thank you!

I have read that the only thing required is that the passholder be in one of the rooms booked on the AP. I think you can book up to three rooms off of one AP. We have never had to use this since we are a family of four. I am the AP holder but I also make the reservation in my name all the time. It just works out easier for us. Hope that this didn't offend you.
One of our CR stays , two spring breaks ago, we started out at the Hotel Royal Plaza in the DTD area. It was sad! We had booked there because we were actually down there for the big air show in Lakeland and just decided to maybe squeeze in a day or two at WDW. The first time we headed back to our car on the tram and a family refused to fold their stroller to ride the tram. After we sat there for 20 minutes while they argues with the tram driver and he threatened to call security on them my DH said we're moving, I don't care how much it costs! Well, it was $350 a night for a garden wing room and we called from the tram to get it. I always felt that AP's were an extravagence but after making three trips last year I came home and ordered a voucher. This is my first time using it but it got my room at the Yacht Club down to $227 tax included and my tower CR room down to < $350 during peak spring brak so I figure it's paid for itself. I truly hope you enjoy your trip and enjoy the planning stage. If you haven't already, go out and get a copy of the Unofficial Guide to WDW, the 2005 edition is out. It's packed with lots of info!
