Tricky question...

My friend is renting points for a 1 bdrm. There will be 3 adults and 1 child staying the whole week, but they have an additional adult that will only be there for 2 days. They want the meal plan. Is this doable or would the 4th person have to have it for the whole stay of 7 nights? Thanks!

Every person listed on the reservation must have the meal plan for every day of that reservation.
They may be able to split the trip where by they have two reservations, which will require a checkout/checkin; that way they only pay for the fourth person's dining plan for only those days of the trip.

You have to purchase the meal plan for all persons listed on the room reservation. If you leave someone off the reservation because they don't want the meal plan, that person can't use DME and aren't eligible for EMH.

That's what I thought too....thanks!

If you did get the plan for that individual, you and the others in your room could use the extra credits during the week.

Changing the reservation is what I would do too. They would most likely keep the same room, less work for housekeeping. Just let the front desk know that you want to keep the same room.

That is risky IMO, if you book it like a split stay, and even explaining what you are doing, there is never a guarantee that you will be able to keep the same room. Plus you would have to make sure you check out and check in on the days. The other hassle is with the dining plan, you need to finish all the credits with the first booking before you can use the credits for the next. Or spend time at front desk to get it all sorted out. I don't think its worth the hassle.

They have adjusted the rules for DVC members and you can only get DDP for part of your reservations if you actually change room types- staying in the same room would be considered all part of the same reservation and they would have the same issue as now- everyone gets the plan for the whole reservation or no one gets the plan.
