Dining Plan purchase issue

[TheDailyMoo]

Cross posting this here as someone may know the answer:

Second leg of split stay starts Wednesday so more than 48 hours away yet DVC website showing 7 dwarfs. When I go to purchase for a trip further away it brings up the purchase screen so it does seem to be working. Is the system thinking the two split stays are linked? Both have different reservation numbers and different contracts being used. Can't figure it out. Only thing I can think of is that I had MS ask to keep me in the same room. Maybe doing that makes it seem like 1 reservation in the eyes of the computer and therefore thinks I'm within the 48 hours?

I think your guess might be right. Possibly the request to continue staying in one room caused something in their internal system to treat it as a continuous stay.
