Hi,
I originally was planning a trip Nov 1-5. Now it is switched to an even busier time from Oct 10-15th.
I only have 48 points to work with and I booked 3 nights at BRV for 47 points. Cutting it close LOL.
Cash DVC rate for the 2 nights comes to $778. Actually was cheapest cash rate don't know if it is because I am in 11 month mark at my home resort?

This is a trip with just Mom and I. At 7 months I can switch to OKW and get 4 nights and maybe they will have a cash night then but they only had 1 BR cash available now.

Question is I also booked for $344 for both nights a room at AsMo. We have never stayed there only once at POP and I thought it might be fun. Half price and experience a new resort. I can use my TIW card at counter service. The kicker is will I get spoiled with the 2 beds in the value:rolleyes: LOL I will sleep with mom in bed in the studio. If I can get 4 nights at OKW at 7 months and not a cash night, then I don't want to switch for just the one night.

So if If I stay at BRV with combined cash and dvc will I get one magic band?

If I go to AsMo 1st two nights will I get 2 magic bands. Also fastpass bookings will be different yes?
Thanks

Each reservation will be separate, so each will have MagicBands available to be customized.

Again, each unique room reservation will have MagicBands available to be customized.

You can make FP+ selections for length of both onsite stays when the FP+ booking window opens for the first reservation.

Thanks for quick reply.
So either way I can make fastpasses for length of stay at 60 days of checkin of 1st reservation?

You don't have to get MB's for each reservation but you can.

MB's just access info linked to your MDE profile. If you want to use an old MB you can. If you want to get just one of the MB's you can. Or get them all and have different ones to choose from each day.
 
Have you considered buying enough OTU points at 7 mos. for the extra night? Then you could book it all as one reservation.

I already bought the OTU points for my June reservation. Trying to squeeze this extra trip in... darn good AP rate ;-)

That was different MB's from other people. It never worked with your own extra MB's.

And no - if you do that they will lock your MDE account now.

Ahhhh couldn’t remember how that worked. When they 1st came out and still had some fastpass machines, I remember some hoopla about extra fastpasses. Should have know that loophole closed!
Thanks
