Just an update. I just spoke to SWGE "hotline" (888-834-9125). To refresh everyone's memory, I made a free reservation (11am-3pm), but didn't have a solid trip planned. Was able to get that one on my DD's birthday! We mulled it over and decided to go, so I booked the GCH, and they sent me another SWGE reservation tied to the hotel stay. It was for the same day as our free reservation, from 8am-noon. I made both the free and hotel reservations under my Disney account, I am the lead guest on both the free and the hotel reservation, and all guests are the same on both reservations. I called today, and they confirmed that I could use BOTH reservations. I also had to move the hotel reservation time to 8pm-midnight so they would not be overlapping (I would have rather kept the hotel reservation at 8am and moved the free reservation to later, but he said (as we all knew already) that that was a no-go)). We are only going for the weekend, so I only have two days to work with, and the second day of our trip is fully "sold out" to move hotel-linked SWGE reservations around per the CM (not that the hotel is necessarily sold out, but that he couldn't move us to that day because there was no space in SWGE's system). SO we are going twice in one day, from 11am-3pm, then from 8pm-midnight. It will be neat to see it at night as well. The CM specifically went through each name on each reservation and said "you are lucky that you all get to visit it twice!". I sure hope he's right!!!!
