    I have reserved our resort, our plane, rental car, all the things. However, I have since discovered that my husband may not be able to stay the whole time. Is it okay for him to leave early and for us to stay if I am primary account holder?

    Welcome to plan Disney, April!

    It looks like you've done a ton of planning for your visit to Walt Disney World. Congratulations, all of that work will make your trip so very magical!

    Regarding an early departure for your husband, not to worry. Although your husband may wish he could continue in the fun, everyone else in your group will get to enjoy everything you have planned even if you are missing that one very important person. 

    I've frequently had a guest or two arrive a little later than the rest of us or have to depart a bit sooner. With your plans in place, you'll be able to enjoy the resort, parks, and dining just as you would have had he been there. 

    For a group visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, I recommend you check out purchasing Memory Maker. This fantastic package offered by Disney PhotoPass Service includes downloads of all of the magical moments you'll create together--all for one price. Magic Shots, attraction photos, pics of the group in front of the most iconic locations in the parks--you'll be able to have them all. And when your husband has to leave early? He can still keep track of all of the group activities by checking out My Photos in his My Disney Experience online account or in his My Disney Experience app. Seeing my group's pics is the one thing that makes me smile when I'm the one who had to miss out on the fun. Just a little dose of magic when I'm back home. 

    April, as you continue to sprinkle the pixie dust over your plans to The Most Magical Place on Earth, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
