Deluxe Dining plan with DVC question...

[familydisney]

We are staying at AKL Jambo in June for 8 nights and are renting the points from a member we know. We were looking at adding the regular dining plan, but looking at our needs, we think we would be better served doing 4 nights of deluxe, every other day, instead of the 8 regular dining days.

Our reservations for the two rooms for the 8 nights are already been made. A couple of questions for those that have worked it before:

1. How does DVC segment the reservation? Do we have to start over with a series of 2-night stays?

2. How do they keep track of each set of DDP meals? Do you re-check in and get new Keys to the Kingdom cards?

3. How does is affect housekeeping (re-checking in, split segments, etc)

Is it a hassle for member services, the person making them and then once you are there?

Thanks in advance!

To do the DxDDP every other day would require them to segement your reservation in to 1 night stays all linked together. You would have to get new keys for each night you have a new plan (at least that is how it is now).

I do not know how it affects mousekeeping. The member you rented from would have to call and have the reservation segmented and then add the plan to the nights you want. It will have to be paid for at the time it is added.

I did my segmenting by email. It took one email with my member #, reservation # and how I wanted it segmented. Then I called back and added the dining plan, which has to be payed for at that time.
