DDP with split stay question

[SheilaHeartsDisney]

Ok so I made all of my reservations so far and seeing how many i made i am thinking i may just add the disney dining to our reservation (We are DVC members). Now we are staying only one day at the Bay Lake towers but we have breakfast reservations for the morning we check out for chef mickeys at 7am. Do I have to check in to kidani village(next part of my stay) before i can use the disney dining plan for that day? If I use the online check in 10 days prior is that kinda like checking-in already? Is there anyway i can make this work?? Thanks!!

You won't get your dining credits until you check in at Kidani and pay for them. I do not think online check-in will work - if only the Kidani reservation will have the dining plan, you will need to have the Kidani key cards with you in order to use the dining credits, so you actually have to go to Kidani to get them.

Have you thought about adding dining to the Bay Lake Towers stay also, if it's on points?

Well I was thinking about the counter service one for the first day but i see what your saying. I could just get the regular dining plan for the one day at bay lake a save the TS credit till the next morning. That will probably work out better anyway since one of our meals is a 2 credit meal while at AKV. Thanks for your help!!

Since your CR reservation is for one night only, I'd even be tempted to see if you can get the DxDDP for the one night and make a dinner ADR for the California Grill, Citricos, Narcoossee's or the Spirit of Aloha dinner show (they're all 2 credit dinners at monorail resorts). This will also get you the refillable mugs. Just make sure to use those 2 snack credits each before the end of the day you check out. If you're not in the mood for the snacks, get some bottled water or other bottled drinks for the parks.
