? about 2 reservations

[Cant wait for Disney]

We are thinking about taking an extended trip where we would spend half the trip at one resort and then the other half at another. If so, would we need to book 2 separate plans, meaning, book a plan for the first 6 days and then another for the next 6? I'm assuming yes but just want to be sure...thanks for any help!

Yes, that is correct. And if you wanted the DDP with both of them, you would have to book 2 packages, each with the minimum tickets included (1 day for paid dining, 2 days currently for free dining).

If you only wanted the DDP for one part, you could book a package for one stay and a room-only for the other.

Unless you are a DVC member, renting points from a DVC member, or an annual passholder. Then no ticket purchase on either reservation would be required to get DDP, unless you book the free dining promotion, for which ticket purchase is ALWAYS required.

thank you to both of you for the help! we are DVC so thank you for adding that part in. So if i'm reading correctly, with DVC, we just have to book DDP based on room ressies, not tickets?

I'm so glad Nala posted that then - I considered it, but guess I got lazy! I ought to type up and save some kind of canned response!

No tickets are required for DVC members staying on points to get the DDP. You have to add it through MS, at least 48 hours in advance, and pay in full for it at that time. And buy it for everyone in the room, for all days.

If you have two separate DVC reservations, then you can add a dining plan to each separate reservation (you can't buy one dining plan to cover both reservations), or you can switch dining plans with the second reservation, or you can have dining plan on one reservation and no dining plan on the other. there is no requirement to buy tickets as part of the reservation.

The only thing you can't do is "segment" and link the reservations so you can stay in the same room and have different dining plans on them. They used to allow this but don't anymore. Since you want to change resorts, that won't be an issue.
