Hi Beth! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
I'm happy you are considering staying at a Disney Resorts Hotel! There is nothing quite like entering underneath the Disney archways upon arriving and not having to leave until your vacation has come to an end! Each resort is uniquely themed and gives Guests many options when deciding on their stay. The level of service you receive is unmatched anywhere else and Cast Members always go above and beyond to create that magical Disney experience.
Disney Resorts Collection hotels are usually based on double occupancy so adding extra Guests can add a fee. If the original reservation was just for yourself and you are only adding a second Guest, then it's possible that there will not be any additional charge. Other factors, such as how close you might be to your check-in day, could incur additional fees also. Keep in mind that this pertains to room-only resort reservations. If you booked a vacation package that includes your park tickets, additional Guests are required to have the same ticket package as everyone else on the reservation.
If you booked your Walt Disney World Resort reservation through Disney directly (either online or over the phone), and have it linked to your
My Disney Experience account, you may be able to make changes directly online. Once you are logged in, scroll down to "My Plans, Reservations, and Tickets" to view your resort information. If your reservation is eligible to be modified, you'll see a link to the right of the confirmation number that says "Change Reservation". Once you select this option, you'll see a series of options to adjust different components of your reservation! You can always call the
Disney Resorts Hotel Reservations line and speak to a Cast Member for assistance. They will be able to make changes over the phone if needed.
Beth, since you are a
Florida resident, I highly recommend checking on any discounts or special offers that are currently happening at this time. There may be some special pricing on resort reservations or ticket packages during your booking.
Have a magical time during your next Walt Disney World trip! See ya real soon!
Happy planning!
Greg
