We are giving our dog sitter a trip to the world to thank her. This will be her first trip to Disney World! We have booked a split stay. She will first stay 3 nights in Bay Lake Tower on DVC points. Then she will move to the Poly which I booked as a package. Since the DVC booking required no payment, I booked the package part with a seven day park hopper ticket. Yesterday was the 60 day mark. I went in to do fastpass and could only book from the first day of the Poly part of the trip. We tried everything to figure out how to book them for the first three days of the trip. Finally we decided to just call for help. The answer was not what we wanted to hear. Although she will be able to use the ticket before the Poly part of the trip, we can not make fastpasses for those days!
There seems to be no real fix for this. I first thought I would just drop the tickets from the Poly reservation and add them to the Bay Lake Tower reservation. However, it is booked as a package with a dining plan. If I drop the tickets, the meal plan goes too. My second thought was to drop the 7 day ticket to 4 and add a 3 day ticket to the Bay Lake reservation. But....WOW!!! That would cost an additional $500. I ended up just shuffling a few days plans around so I could book the hardest to get fastpasses. Not a great solution but the best I could come up with. First time we have ran into a problem that could not be fixed.
Anyone have any other thoughts?
