Hello Lindsay! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
When booking a Walt Disney World Resort vacation it is best to do it as early as possible. The main reason is to avoid disappointment if a particular resort hotel fills to capacity and you cannot stay where you would like. The second reason is that Walt Disney World Resort vacations may be retroactively amended before the trip to
take advantage of any Special Offers that become available.
I booked one family vacation to ensure that we would get a room during
Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend well in advance. After that reservation, i became a Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholder and a Special Offer was available to Annual Passholders only. I modified my vacation through the My Disney Experience App and saved $250 on my stay even though I originally booked the reservation before becoming an Annual Passholder.
While
most Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Reservations may be modified or cancelled through the My Disney Experience App, I cannot see the same availability to alter tickets online. However, by contacting Guest Services at (407)939-1289, a Cast Member should be able to assist you in modifying your Walt Disney World Resort package to take advantage of the Special Offer. As long as the Special offer is still available and you qualify, Cast Members will try to use all of their Endless Magic to accommodate your request.
Please note that Special Offers are based on availability and the Walt Disney World Resort Package you booked may not comply with the ticket deal in question.
But it never hurts to ask as the savings are definitely worth it!
Have a Magical Vacation!
