Epic trip question

Epic trip planning question
So, I am planning the ultimate Disney trip. 4 weeks in the world, one week in each area- so stoked! My question is, how would I go about booking such a huge trip? Should I separate each week and pay for them individually or should I try to manage one giant trip which would have 4 hotels and approx. 1 million ADRs? Excited but definitely overwhelmed.

Each hotel would require it's own reservation. So your time at hotel A would be one reservation, another separate reservation for hotel B, and so on.

Are you planning on doing the dining plan? If so, then would expire at the end of each reservation. So if you were at hotel A with the dining plan, that weeks credits would expire the day you check out and check into hotel B. Same process repeated.

Also, in terms of making ADRs, you would have 4 different 180 day opening windows if I'm not mistaken. Being onsite you can start making ADRs 180 days from check in, plus length of stay or 10 days.

I'm assuming you are getting an AP instead of buying two or three sets of tickets. An AP would be cheaper and wouldn't be tied to your room reservation so checking in/out days isn't something you have to worry about with tickets.

I hope this helps! With that long of a stay, I would definitely recommend making a spreadsheet or document with all your ADR and confirmation numbers to help keep them straight!

Can you share what your itinerary might be? What went into your decision to stay that long? I think this would make a great non-fiction book! I've taken a couple of solo trips of about 10 days (the longest) and did the VIP tours, Victoria and Alberts, Cirque, and lots of walking. Can you share more about your trip? Truly amazing!
