Upgrading tickets?

[katclicks]

A little backstory: I registered with a couple friends for the princess 1/2 marathon in feb. My one friend, who I was planning to stay longer with just found out she is pregnant and due one week before the race. She's out. Not wanting to cut my trip short or be alone too long and to save $, I asked my sister to share a room with me. She agreed, then asked my mom to join us...not the vacation I planned but I'm dealing with it. So here's my dilemma. They want 2 day park hoppers no meal plan, I want a 4 day park hopper and meal plan. I can't book the reservation unless we all do the same thing. I talked them into adding dining...can I make the reservation for hotel, dining and 2 day park hoppers and then when we get to the park add two days to my tix? I also thought about buying a 2 day park hopper for myself totally desperate from the reservation as well. My last thought is to make the reservation in my name only, do the 4 day ph and dining and when they get there, they can stay in the room I reserved and get their 2 day park hoppers at the gate. Thoughts??? Please help!!!

Are they arriving on the same day as you are?

If they're arriving after you, you should just make the reservation for yourself with the dining plan and the ticket you want. Then, after you check in, you can add them to the reservation. They won't have to get the Dining Plan and they can just buy the tickets they need at the hotel or at the parks.

We would be arriving on the same date, though maybe different times. Could I add them on arrival day after I check in?

I would make the reservation to include the two-day tickets and dining.

Once you are checked in each ticket is separate and may be upgraded separately. Note that a two day park hopper is $243 (plus tax) while it is only $95 to upgrade a two-day hopper to a four day hopper.

I'm 90% sure that you can, but I've never actually done it myself. Hopefully, someone else will come along to confirm.

Thanks! I know this is not the most cost effective approach, but I want to do my best to make everyone happy and they did agree to the dining to appease me. My sister sent me a text and said she can't imagine what she wiped do in the parks for 4 days. 4 days won't be enough for me! How are we related!!!!

You could, but they would not be able to use Magical Express, if that makes a difference.

I would go ahead and get the package with 2-day tickets and dining.

My sisters and I did the Princess Half this past February and had a great time! It was a wonderful "girls' weekend" - enjoy!
