Hi, I'm writing to ask a few questions about adding a room only "special offer" reservation to the beginning of our free dining vacation package.
Right now we are booked for a vacation package with free dining 12/10-16. I added a room only reservation for 12/9. I read about how I can pick up our MYW tix up to 3 days early at guest relations so I decided to look into arriving on 12/8 and adding a second night to our "room only" reservation. Then, I found there is now a fall room only special offer! So... My question is, can I book 2 nights (12/8 and 12/9) room only reservation using the fall room only special discount prior to our free dining vacation package staring on 12/10? I noticed that the same category room type is not available however for the room only discount. We are staying at POR and I have our current one night room only reservation linked to our free dining vacation package reservation in hopes that we would not have to change rooms when we check out/check in to new package. I have a preferred room booked for both reservations right now, but the new room only discount only lists "standard," "garden view," and "water view" as choices, no preferred room. It would only cost us $100 to add another night using the room only discount plus the cost of adding a day to our 6-day base MYW ticket ($40?) so I can't help but think that we should do it if indeed I am understanding this all correctly. I know we would be paying oop for meals prior to 12/10 but that is okay we will do CS to get the extra days in the parks.
Can anyone tell me 1) can we use the room only discount prior to FD package starting? 2) are chances of remaining in same room at POR diminished if we do this because we must pick between garden, standard, or water view (there js no preferred as we have for our package starting 12/10) and 3) am I understanding all of this correctly? We can get a 7-day MYW base ticket which is attached to our free dining vacation package but pick up the tickets up to 3 days early at a guest relations window and start using them during our room only stay?
Thank you for any help, input, advice etc! It is all welcome and VERY appreciated! Thanks! :-D

. You can pick up your park tickets up to 3 days prior to the start of your package by going to any park's guest relations and requesting early ticket pick up. We did this on our December 2010 trip and it worked out perfectly 
. But you might want to ask at check in about getting your tickets there as I have read that if you are doing a split stay at the same resort, the resort is capable of doing that instead of you having to get it done at a park. Have a great trip

) trying to get the best rates. Rooms open up all the time, you can keep checking back for the one you want. I waited and got a standard view at BC with fall dining discount, it wasn't available a week before and was not available with FD. But the fall travel discount with tickets and dining added ended up to be slightly less then FD. However, I recommend you book something and go back to try to get your preferred room because it does not always come up. And, unless you have time everyday to sit on the computer and try different codes and different combinations to get the room you want it may not happen.
. We were directed to guest services where we found out our "early" tickets were deactivated once we checked in for our package and our tickets were on our new KTTW cards. Everything was fine once we figured out which card the park tickets were on
