Using ME when traveling standby?

[wrighter]

My sister will be joining my family on our WDW trip in early February. We have added her to our room reservation, but have no idea on which day she will actually be joining us (although we should know the day at least a couple weeks in advance.) She is a flight attendant and will therefor be flying standby to get to Orlando - she won't know what flight she'll be on until she boards it. With the new "reservations required" guidelines for ME, will she be able to utilize it? How far in advance must her "required reservations" be made? She's young and doesn't make much money - we really hope she can utilize this service.

Any thoughts you pros have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

After the Disney bound reservation is made (in your case for an estimated date within the room stay dates) it can be modified for a person anytime before she lands in Orlando. If time of arrival is off by just a few hours and not after 10 PM, it is not necessary to make the modification. You don't have to be punctual.

There was a rule about making the initial reservation 10 days in advance, but many others have been accommodated.

I travel stand-by to Disney quite often and have had no trouble with Magical Express. In my reservation I explain the situation and that I'm not positive which flight (and unfortunately sometimes which day - if I can't get out until the next day).

As long as she's on your hotel reservation and has the coupon voucher for ME, she should be fine.
