Hi Lynn! Welcome to planDisney.
Ooooh, you have said my favorite magic words: "extend my trip." I am always looking for ways to add days to my Walt Disney World Resort vacation, so I'm in FULL support of this plan!
I'm also delighted to hear you have plans to live your Star Wars adventure aboard the
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. The possibilities are out-of-this-world on this immersive adventure on the Halcyon Starcruiser, and I hope you have so much fun
determining your itinerary.
While I haven't boarded the Galactic Starcruiser, I do have experience transferring bookings here on Earth and in the magical lands of the Walt Disney World Resort. I have a dear friend who is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, and it makes me happy to support her business - plus, she is a true Jedi when it comes to making our vacation dreams come true. In my experience, what you'll need to do is contact your travel agent to ask how they handle the booking transfer process. When I have done it, there has been a Booking Transfer Request Form that the lead Guest (the Guest whose name is on the reservation) must complete and sign. The travel agent then submits the form to Disney and they determine if the booking is transferrable. Once your reservation is transferred to your travel agent, you'll need to go through your agent to make any changes to your resort hotel or vacation package reservation, though you should be free to make dining and experience reservations on your own. Speak to your agent directly about which experiences they can book for you, as that also seems to vary by agency.
I hope you have an incredible time on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser and in realms beyond, Lynn! Thank you for bringing your question to planDisney, and please come back if you have any further questions. In the meantime, be sure to read the
Disney Parks Blog, as I'm sure they will have more
dispatches from the Halcyon Starcruiser as she gets closer to her maiden voyage.
May the Force be with you,
Robyn
