Breaking up our stay?

[bunkkinsmom]

So we wanna take advantage of the "buy a 4 day pass get 3 free deal" and we are planning on renting points for OKW the last week of January. However, the point requirements go up substantially on the weekend, so we are thinking of hopping to and All Star for that Friday night, our last night of the trip.

What are the complications of this? I know that it will be 2 separate dining plan arrangements. Any other issues I should be aware of?

I'm not the person to answer this I guess, because my understanding is that the DDP is tied to lodging, not tickets, and may not work the same way for renting points (I'm not sure you can get the buy 4, get 3 by renting). The DDP is usually tied to lodging, so your DDP would vary depending on that. You could do an extra day in a value lodging and get the DDP with that -- they're not connected. If you do a regular stay by renting, the person you rent from can add the DDP for you (you pay on check-in), but not sure you can get the 4/3 deal.

I can get the 4/3 ticket deal from Undercover Tourist. Is there a DDP 4/3 deal as well? If so, that would make the extra $$ WORTH IT!

If you use DVC points for a stay, you can get the DDP without purchasing tickets. But if you stay anywhere on a cash reservation through CRO, you must buy a package which usually includes the room at rack rate and at least a one day ticket to get the DDP.

If you forget about getting the DDP for that Fri night and know that your DDP through the member you rent from expires at midnight of the day you check out of your DVC points stay, you should be okay.
