What will I get in the mail?

[sbkline]

Every time I have made a reservation, or changed one, I have received something in the mail. Yesterday, I upgraded my base package by adding my tickets and dining plan option. So I assume I will get something in the mail, but what will I get? Just a confirmation? Or will I get all my goodies, like my tickets, mini-golf passes, etc? Or do I not actually get all that stuff until I pay in full? Will I get a list of all the restaurants on the dining plan? Will I get a list of all the extra magic hours for April?

When we got ours last week, it was luggage tags, Planet Hollywood vouchers, and our confirmation sheet. We didn't receive anything about the participating dining plan restaurants. :wave:

So do you not get your tickets until you pay in full? Or until you physically check in? Did you not get anything about which parks have EMH and on what days?

Is that planet hollywood restaraunt any good? I saw yesterday that that voucher is included in the package. I'm not sure when to use it, though, because the dining plan already gives you your meals for the days of your stay. Perhaps on the day we checkout, we can stop at DTD and eat there before we hit the road.

Will I get payment coupons in case I want to make some payments here and there between now and April?

I did the same type of upgrade you just did a few weeks ago, and for that, they just sent another confirmation letter. I'm pretty sure they don't send the final itinerary package with the luggage tags and all that until you've paid in full, and even then I don't think they do it earlier than a month before. In the past, they've given us most of our stuff when we checked in. The park tix are stored on the room key, so that's also at check-in. So far, for our trip in November we've only received our Mickey's X-Mas party tix, since those were a seperate thing. All our confirmation letters have come with payment envelopes for if we wanted to make payments. We usually pay by credit card, but I'm sure they'll send an additional invoice as your trip gets closer.

As far as the Planet Hollywood vouchers, I don't really get it either. We'll probably give ours away or something.

I will put money on it that you won't get the rest of your stuff till you check in.

The Planet Hollywood voucher isn't worth much anyway. Maybe you can trade it to someone at the parks for a FastPass...
