Hi Jack! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm excited you have decided on a Disney Resorts Hotel during your stay! Each one is themed to perfection and offers countless amenities to enjoy! The
Moderate Resort Hotels are some of my favorite options.
I'm happy to hear that a friend will be in town during your visit! If you wish to add them to your resort reservation, there will be a few factors to consider before doing so. If you add them prior to your visit, you'll need to do so for the entire length of your stay. Also, if you bundled your ticket package with your resort reservation, they typically will need to purchase the same park tickets as well. However, if you wait until you arrive, you can speak to the front desk of your resort and let them know of your plans. They will be able to add them as a day Guest to your resort room and have them enjoy the amenities along with you. They will need to show a valid photo ID upon arrival.
I know you mentioned this in your question, but one of the biggest concerns is that your additional Guest does not exceed the maximum occupancy of your room. I would recommend double-checking how many Guests your room sleeps to be safe.
Depending on which resort you have chosen for your stay, you'll have plenty of dining options at each one. If you find your way over to Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, stop by
Scat Cat's Club for an order of Mickey-shaped beignets. These light, airy, and delicious treats are Princess Tiana approved!
Jack, I hope this information helps you during your upcoming visit!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
