Just have to say...it's early on Saturday and I can tell. I read the subject and thought "Wait? There's enough about The Real World for a whole convention??" (referencing the show on MTV). HAHA!
Our tickets include the one Waterpark visit, too.BTW, I priced out the tickets again, 7 days, one park per day, 2 people, all includes tax
WDW direct (7-day): $1214.14
Boardwalk Ticketing: $1135.60
Parksavers: $1170.48
Convention Tickets: $981.94 + it comes with a water park day (we wouldn't use this winter, but I thought it was an interesting offer, not sure if it comes with all convention tickets)

Our meeting also has single-day "after 1PM" and "after 5 PM" tickets available.Must be a specific convention thing then.

Keep in mind convention tickets CAN NOT be added on to. They are sold as-is
if you have 3 day pass, you can’t add-on a extra day without paying for a full regular priced 1-day admission
My experience last year-we all bought conference tickets (son was going to the conference, grandmother (me,) and his son/my grandson also got conference tickets. The conference was cancelled due to Covid, and Disney gave us a full refund, although they tried to talk us into keeping them. Several corporate members did keep theirs, and when the conference was rescheduled for this year, the those tickets are good. This year, same scenario for rescheduled conference, but add a fiancee' and her child. We got convention tickets for them, as they will not be there as long as we will. The convention tickets are the same price for each day, no matter how many days you pay for. . You do get the nice add on water park day free. They also don't expire until 7 months after the convention! However, because me, my son and grandson will be in the parks for 6 days rather than three, it was cheaper for us to just but regular tickets, which get cheaper with each day you add. You d o not have to stay in the convention hotel, but someone is your planning party must be attending the convention. We all are going to the extra evening activities Disney and our corprorate planner have come up with.
Our banquet is billed as "an extra-special event in one of the parks with surprises you don't want to miss!" It is June 22, and I'm hoping it's the reason Animal Kingdom is closing at 5pm that day!hmm, we haven’t heard of any evening activities but the convention is still 7 months away so they will probably release details later, lol. I’ll tell my traveling companion to stay tuned to email...lol

Are you referring to the actual Disney Visa, or the rewards redemption card you get with points? I know they put a "hold" on your credit card when you list it as your payment method -the amount varies according to the type resort you are in, value, moderate, or deluxe. The rewards points card is treated pretty much like a Disney gift card. I have put my DIsney Visa on the resort room as payment method, but gone to the front desk and used my rewards cards and gift cards to pay down the balance on the next to the last night of stay. Unless you really have several thousand dollars left on your points rewards card, I would be surprised if they accepted it as your primary method of payment attached to your room. What did you use to guarantee your dining reservations? I would call Disney Visa and ask directly.Back again, hoping that @Marionnette or @yorkieteacher can assist.
I'm finally getting around to buying the convention tickets as I wanted the hotel and tickets on different billing cycles for the credit card. I originally planned to use my Disney rewards card to pay for the tickets, but it gave me only the option of paying with a credit card. Then after I entered my details, it asked about using a second option to pay and gave me the option of gift card, some other card (forgot), and then Disney rewards card.
I have enough reward dollars to pay for the tickets (thank you to those who have used my referral code over the years!) but haven't transferred the dollars onto the redemption card yet. Is there a way to make the Disney rewards card the primary method of payment? I haven't gotten all the way through yet just in case I messed up. I guess I want to make sure that I'm not double charged for it...
Thanks!
Our trip isn't until November, and there are a lot of moving parts to it, so I didn't go through with the purchase. But here's what I tried and what I could see.Back again, hoping that @Marionnette or @yorkieteacher can assist.

When it came to the payment screen, I skipped entering the CC info and clicked on "add another payment". I chose GC and entered the info. The total amount due was reduced by the balance on the GC. I could then add another form of payment to cover the remainder but could only choose from either CC or Rewards Card. I could not use a second GC, which is typical of any Disney ticket purchase online.
So, my suggestion is to skip entering your CC information entirely and just enter the Rewards Card. That should be enough to cover your ticket purchase and you won't need to enter any other payment info.
