DP (with split-stay) QUESTION.....

[BellaSoleil]

Can someone please explain how this works? The CM tried, but left me terribly confused! We are staying at AKL for 2 nights, the switching to WL for 3 nights. Why doesn't it just go along with how many days you are on Disney Property? Oh, goodness... please help ease my mind!

Basically becuase it is tied into your room key. Since you are issued new Keys to the Kingdom upon check in at WL, your any/all credits from AKL will need to be used by midnight on the check in date for WL. Hope that helps explain it.

Disney is like every other company, no decisions make sence and there is more and more paper work. Just make sure you use the AKL credits first and before midnight of the AKL checkout date. Even when you check out of AKL the credits are still good till midinght of AKL checkout date, and after you check out of WL the credits for there are good till midnight of WL checkout date.

Each stay is a separate reservation. The credits from your first stay expire at midnight of the day you check out. The credits from your second stay are activated as soon as you check into that second hotel and expire at midnight on the day you check out.

The downside to having 2 package reservations is that you have to have tickets as a part of both reservations and that's not very cost-effective.
