DDP & a mixed points/cash ressie ??

[MinnieGirl33]

We've never used the DDP so please correct / enlighten me...

OK, it is my understanding that if you opt for the DDP it is only good for the portion of your res that is points, correct?

And I think any unused credits expire midnight of check-out day, yes?

If this is true... and you have a linked res using points at the beginning & a few cash nights at the end (therefore you are not checking out & back in again)... do your credits really expire at the end of the points res or when you actually check out???

If you book the cash nights through MS, you will purchase the DP for every night of your stay, no matter if it is a cash night or points night. Credits will expire at midnight of the final check out date.

If the cash nights are purchsed via CRO/WDWTC, then you will not have the DP for the cash nights unless you follow the CRO/WDWTC rules -minimum stay, add on to room and ticket package.

I thought I read other posters reporting that the DDP was only applying to points ressies.

Am I losing my mind? (totally possible, btw)

Edited to add...
I think I answered my own question... searched & found Sammie's thread that I was remembering...

I was told I would not get the DDP on the cash portion of my ressie. Since i wound up using all points, I dont know what would have happened.

Just booked 2 nights cash and 2 nights points through MS. If the reservation is linked (meaning you don't have to check out and possibly move and check back in), and you want DDP, you have to purchase it for the entire stay.
