? about split stay & ADRs

[minniecarousel]

We actually have 3 different reservation numbers for our Dec trip to SSR & BWV. (we added a day at the beginning of our trip and dropped one off the end.) Our window for making ADR's is next Monday. But with 3 different reservation numbers, will we be able to book ADR's for 90+10?

I can share my experience. . . . I have a split stay (BW 11/28-12/3 and AK 12/3-12/6) and did not request to link the reservations. I made all of my ADRs online at 6:00 on the first day of my BW window, and I was able to book ADRs for the entire stay.

This is my experience from last week and I was very surprised. I have a split stay of first night at AKV and BLT for rest of week. Both online and when I called in for a couple of res's I was able to get 90+ 10 based on my AKV 1 night res. No questions asked.

The inconsistency of MS when you call is ridiculous! The guy I talked to today said that I can make ADRs for the early part of our stay, but that we'd have to wait until the window opened for the later part of our stay. That is sooo inconvenient. Combined with all these people getting free dining in December, I'm a little ticked. My son is celebrating a milestone birthday half way through our trip & he'd like to eat at Lecellier (which he has yet to eat at - he & his wife have never been able to snag an ADR there.)

Because the two of you were able to make ADRs all the way through your split stays, I'll think positive & try for all of our days. Thanks for your responses.

(Getting up on Labor Day at 3 AM to go online for these will be an adventure too!)

You should be able to access the 90+10 on line, provided you're not staying at BLT. I've been refused twice on the phone, once from MS and once from WDW DINE (after holding for 1 hour, from the UK, to speak to a supervisor.)
Best of luck for Monday.

You have two separate reservations at two different resorts. So you have to wait for 90 days from the start of each reservation. The only way to make reservations for a split stay at two different resorts is to call 90 days out from the start of the last reservation.

My experience was similar to some of the other posters. I have a 2 night stay at All-Star Sports, followed by 3 nights at OKW. When I went on-line at the 90-day mark for the All-Star res, I was able to book dining reservations for the next ten days.... beyond the All-Star reservation and beyond the OKW reservation..... And this happened yesterday... another Dinsey Dining Inconsistency..

Not true. Do your reservations online rather than calling.

I have a reservation at VWL for 12/2 to 12/5. We are on a DCL cruise 12/5-12/12. Then we are at BLT on 12/12, flying out on 12/13.

I made ADRS for 12/2-12/5 AND 12/12 on Thursday morning when my 90 + 10 window opened for 12/2. I had to wait until Friday morning to do the 12/13 reservations.

OK, I have to say, after reading this I decided to try again and to my surprise my 2 day reservation also openned for 10 days. Like you I have a 2 day stay, then a cruise, then a 2 night stay. But unlike yours, I'm 2 nights at POR, then cruise, then 2 nights at a DVC resort (BWV). Yesterday I could not get the POR reservation to open up anything, but finally last night I could get in, but since I had called to make an ADR I didn't think about how much openned. So I just went back and saw that I had the entire 10 days open up instead of just 3 for my 2 night POR stay. That was great, so I just booked more reservations for after my cruise. Unfortunately I need to book CP package and have to call for that. The odds of a CM allowing me to do what the online is letting me do is slim. I know they just did some changes to the website, so maybe this was a new change. This is a positive change, as long as it's not a glitch that will be fixed. So it seems no matter how long your stay, they give you the 10 days whether you need them or not. This is a good thing, because I do split stays every trip (really just a night or 2 at a regular resort, then move to my DVC resort on Sunday). I'm glad I went back. I'm also killing time while I wait to book my Palo reservation for my cruise in December.

Well if this works, that's good news for us! The 90-day mark for our 2nd resort reservation of our trip is the day that ADRs go back to 180. That day is going to be insane I'm guessing.

OK, all's well in my world! Got all the ADR's we were looking for. And also a Keys to the Kingdom tour and a Candlelight Processional package. whew!

So were you allowed to book all of your ADRs with your first reservation or did you have to wait and call back. I was allowed to book my CP today with my first reservation. At first the CM didn't want to do it, but when I told her I had already made my ADRs online for that week based on reservation #1, she reluctantly let me book the CP. I was a little confused because she said I had to pay for the CP package with my cc and not just the hold.
