Hey Howdy Hey Ashley and welcome to planDisney!
I am so excited to hear that you and your family will visit the most Magical Place on Earth later this year. Even better, you may be able to take advantage of a sweet deal with
A FREE and Delicious Dela for Disney+ Subscribers. There are two ways you can change the lead name on the reservation and take advantage of this deal. Let's sink our teeth into both!
To take advantage of this special offer, you are correct that the owner of the
My Disney Experience account that is linked to the reservation needs to have an active Disney+ subscription. If that is your spouse, what you will need to do is to rebook your trip. I would log in with their credentials and search for the same trip you have booked to check to see if there is still availability for this offer. As long as there is, I would book the new trip with the offer and then cancel the original. Not to worry as
per Disney policy at this time, any cancelation for vacation packages more than 30 days before the arrival date will get a full refund. So you should be able to book a new reservation with the updated account and then cancel the old one without issues. I would make sure you book the new one first, as there are only certain blocks of rooms at most resorts that are applicable for special offers like this, so make sure availability is still there as well as the option for the special offer first.
The other way you can do this is to
give Disney a quick ring and explain your situation. In most cases, as long as there is availability at the resort that qualifies for the offer, the Cast Member will be able to rebook your vacation package with the updated credentials as well.
While there is so much to be excited about during your trip in August, one of my favorite parts of later summer and fall in Walt Disney World Resort revolves around the
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival. This festival celebrates the season with food and drink offerings around the park as well as special entertainment offerings you will not want to miss. This is such a great way to spend the day in EPCOT and I hope you are planning to spend some time there!
Best of luck updating your reservation and please feel free to stop back with any other questions you may have, we are always happy to help!
Have a Magical Day,
Nick
