) I thought the UPH was the same as LOS. You are allowed to drop one day (arrival or departure) if you request it at check-in.

I have my trip planned for December and I booked it through the Disney Club. I also booked the Dreammaker Package. I made my first night reservation as a "room only" and the remaining nine days of my stay are the Dreammaker Package.
GoldenOldie.....I am confused.....you state that this can only be done if you wait to purchase at check in??? Was I given the wrong information? I certainly hope not!
Let's try to un-confuse you.
You have two separate reservations. Obviously your room only has no tickets tied in with it. Simple enough.
Your second reservation has a UPH which will run from the moment you check in until midnight of the day you check out. You cannot change that UPH to drop any days.
Sometimes people have to check out very early on the day they leave. Maybe they have to catch an early flight home. They don't want to have to pay for a day on their UPH that they aren't going to be able to go to the parks. So they ask to drop their check out day from the UPH. If they purchased their UPH at resort check in (as opposed to in advance as part of a package like Dream Maker) they can have the departure day dropped. But UPH's purchased as part of a package cannot be modified. They must run the entire length of the reservation. In your case it would be for the second reservation covering days 2-9.
Couldn't Mrs. Carpenter book the Dreammaker package for the days in the beginning of her trip and make her last night a "room only"?
Certainly she could.

...Would it really work to book our last night as "room only"...is that like having 2 separate reservations? Would we have to change rooms?
Yes it would work. Your package is only tied into a single reservation and your UPH would expire at midnight of the last day. If you had a room only reservation for the final night, you would not be paying for park admissions you weren't going to use.
The possibility exists about changing rooms (never say never!) but it is highly remote. Just make sure that you let the room assigners at the resort know that you will have continuing reservations and you would like to stay in the same room. You can have this noted on your reservation by WDTC/CRO but it would be to your benefit to fax the request in yourself 4 days prior to your arrival just to be sure. You'll have to go through the checking out and checking back in again routine at the front desk but it should only take about 5 minutes to do.
Sorry for all the questions...I'm fairly new to all of this! Thank you!
Don't be sorry. People would never learn anything if they didn't ask questions. Someone much wiser than me once said "The only question to be sorry about is the one not asked".
You don't say when in December you are going (Christmas week is much more expensive than the first three weeks) but either way, I'd say you are basing that room price on full rack rate.
