Room only/dining plan/park tickets

[kahblue]

I had a reservation booked for 08/24-08/31. When the dining plan came out, I had to change 08/24 to a room only. In the past, the dining plan would be in effect for your entire stay even if it didn't go into effect until later during your visit.

Here's my question: I understand the dining plan will not be usual until 08/25. But what about park tickets? The longer you stay the cheaper the tickets get. Because I had to make this into 2 separate reservations, I now would have to pay full price for our first day instead of getting the cheaper rate for staying a total of 8 days.

Any way around this??
Thanks!

There is a sticky at the top of the Theme Parks and Strategies board, regarding tickets.

There is a section all about picking your tickets up to three days early at Guest Relations, how to put them on the KTTW card when you get your package, etc.

I have had to do this the last three years, with the discounts; I arrive the Saturday after Thanksgiving and the discount didn't start until Sunday.

This has never been the case. The dining plan credits only become available when you check in for the package part of your vacation, and that's the way it's always been.

The PP gave you the correct info on picking up your tickets early.

Incorrect. It would go into effect for your entire stay if you arrived on the last day of the promotion. If you arrive the day before it starts, it does not apply for your entire stay.
