    I have a split stay resort only room booked on a bounceback offer as well as the same booked for my daughter’s family. We want to change this to a ticketless package because we already have tickets and want to add dining. Is this possible?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Laura! I'm so excited you were able to take advantage of the Return to the Magic offer; I feel like my life is in order once I have another Walt Disney World Resort visit on the books! Let's talk about how you can modify your stay for even more pixie dust.

    You're not going to believe this, but I had this exact conversation with a Cast Member a few days ago. I'd booked a bounce-back offer, but since I'm an annual passholder and didn't need theme park admission, I didn't book it as a vacation package. 

    I realized the bounce-back offer might be gone forever if I accidentally removed it, so I called in for assistance with changing my resort. The friendly Cast Member was able to make the change for me and keep my offer secure. At the end of the call, he recommended changing to a package so I could add extras like a dining package.

    My friends didn't want to add dining to our stay, so I left my reservation resort-only. But a ticketless package was definitely a possibility for my stay. 

    I recommend calling the Tickets and Hotel Reservations line as soon as you can to discuss changing your reservation to a vacation package. They can access your account to see exactly what you're eligible to modify based on your hotel reservations, tickets, and dates. I'm waving my Fairy Godmother wand so that you can make the switch!

    Your split stay sounds fantastic! Switching to a new resort feels like a whole new world. I love letting Bell Services transfer my luggage for me. I'm a petite mouseketeer, but my luggage keeps getting bigger and heavier! Just drop off your bags before you head out for the day, and Bell Services will do the heavy lifting to your new resort.

    Laura, I hope your upcoming visit is practically perfect. Please stop by planDisney again!

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
