UPH and changing resorts

[disneyelaine]

How should this be handled.....
Staying 1 night at the Poly &
2 nights at the BCV. Need to park hop for 3 days only.
Can we get UPH at check in? Say for the poly, we would get a 1 night/2 day UPH. So then at the BCV can we just get a 1 day UPH??

Anyone know?

The minimum amount of days on UPH is two, if you were to do what you had mentioned, you would have to purchase four days total (2 - 2day passes) and this actually costs more than one four day pass.

Explain at check in at Poly that you will be transferring to BCV. Poly should be able to sell you the ticket for all three days. They will have to basically make a fake reservation to sell a ticket that lasts longer than your stay. If you receive any resistance from the person checking you in, ask to speak with a manager. They will be able to help. Since you will be staying at a Disney resort all three nights you should not be penalized for switching resorts.

It happens all the time. It is possible, if you get a newer/unexperienced cast member, they will need to ask someone else how to do this.

Thanks. I hope it works.

I did ask CRO today about it & was told had to buy 2 & 2 like you said. Or else hop 2 days, & be stuck with just a 1 park, 1 day ticket for the last day. Neither of those sound good.

So I will ask for a mgr at the Poly if they say they can't do it.

Does anyone out there have 1st hand story on this to tell? Thanks.

I didn't identify myself properly in my previous post. I used to work at OKW front desk. I know, for a fact, this is what we are supposed to do there.

If you get any resistance, the thing to say is...

"I understand UPH are for resort guests only. I am staying at a Disney resort all three nights, just not at the same resort. Why should I be penalized for staying at two resorts? I know there is a way for you to make me a fake reservation so I can purchase the three says I need. Please do what you can so I can park hop for all three days without having to purchase more days than I need."

Hopefully, you will not have to go through too much hassle to get your tickets. I never understood why some castmembers make things more difficult than they have to be.
