Hi Amy,
Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney! Visiting Walt Disney World Resort with friends and family is always a great idea, and adding another Guest to your travel party will just increase the magic!
You should be able to add an additional Guest to your Disney Resort hotel room, depending on the capacity of the room type on your reservation. You may be able to complete this process online by logging in to your My Disney Experience account, visiting “My Plans” and scrolling to find your reservation. If you are able to change your reservation online, you’ll see a button labeled “Change Reservation” which should allow you to make changes to your travel party.
If you are unable to complete this process through your My Disney Experience account, I recommend calling the number listed under “
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations” to add your Guest with the help of a Cast Member.
You mentioned that you already have tickets and your extra Guest will purchase theme park tickets through their event. I would like to mention that if you have a room reservation and ticket vacation package, each Guest listed on your reservation must have the same ticket type. This means that if you add an additional Guest to your reservation, they must also have the same tickets that you have included in your package.
I hope this was helpful, Amy. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for announcements on what is coming to Walt Disney World Resort during your visit! According to your arrival date, you may be able to experience the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, so watch for those dates to be announced! If you have any other questions as you continue to plan your upcoming vacation, come back to see us at planDisney!
