I don't understand the 30-Day limit on reservations - Please Explain

[E2ME2]

QUESTION:
I just extended my 2022 Ressie at SSR to 28 Nights and while doing so saw some warning about a 30 day limit.
Is that a 30-Day limit by Resort ?? or by Reservation ??
I already have 4 Nights at BCV, so I have 32 consecutive nights booked already ----
Been on hold with CM for more than an hour, and he doesn't know -- he's checking (on hold again)
TIA for your answers!

Someone with more experience I sure to chime in,, but my understanding is it's per reservation. IIRC it's because they don't want people establishing residency at a resort.

I've definitely heard of cases of people booking 30 nights points, then 30 nights cash, then 30 nights points.

Answering my own question, but others may be curious also .
After a total of 2 hours and 10 minutes on the phone, the CM told me that the 30 Day limit is "per reservation".
That's good to know and I will simply make a different reservation for any days in excess of 30 that I have left.

That's a long time in a studio!

Theoretically, a reservation for more than 30 nights could make you qualified as a resident of Reedy Creek and entitled to vote. Disney doesn't want that and carefully controls the people allowed to live in that jurisdiction.

Yes it is! - but we just completed 29 days in a studio on our 1st SnowBird trip - Jan/Feb 2020
Had a great time. We did a lot of walking and a lot of carry-out / curbside.
& the weather was fantastic. We averaged 20K steps/day (I lost 14 pounds)!!
We ate "outside" several different times at the Lava Lounge, D-Luxe Burger, and Landry's Seafood.
If in 2022, the COVID restrictions are lifted, it will be even easier to survive the studio for that long.

I just want to say that is exactly what I want to do when I retire - 4 to 6 weeks stay at Disney.

I’m just jealous that you had the luxury of having such a “problem” ❤

You would save a lot of money on points so it could be a practical way of doing it. And I would be okay with not having the pressure to cook.

It is incorrect that staying more than 30 days could provide you with a claim of right to be treated as a resident of Reedy Creek or Florida. That is because the POS documents provide that a member cannot use the ownership and use of the DVC timeshare to establish an intent to bcome a resident and the time cannot be counted to establish residency.

There is no real 30-day limit. The issue is the reservation system which maxes out any one reservation at 30-days. You just need to make another reservation for time beyond 30-days. Many years ago the system actually cut off any single reservation at 14-days.

This actually has to do with laws in most states that say if you stay longer than 30 days, it has to be considered an apartment or other long term rental vs a hotel/timeshare and different laws and even building codes would then apply that temporary lodgings don't meet. My understanding is after 30 days, they are supposed to require you to completely check out and switch to a different room or resort.

I made a separate reservation for days 29through35. Will we have to physically move to another room, or can I ask at the desk to have them do a "paper-only" chec-out/check-in ??

This is one of the first things we are planning to do when we retire, 28 days in Disney during the winter months. As well as planning to diet and exercise while at Disney.

I don't know if they'll make you physically move, but it wouldn't surprise me. I know of business travelers that stay checked into hotels for months at a time because after a certain point, it becomes a "lease" and then you don't have to pay the exorbitant hotel taxes. I'm sure their companies work out long term agreements with the hotels to accommodate this. I also don't know if the 30 days is the same everywhere; I've heard it being 90 days in some places. But, there's definitely something to them capping the length of stay so you don't acquire some additional legal rights and/or protections.

If they are both points reservations for the same resort and room category, you can contact MS and have the reservations linked, which should prevent your having to change rooms.
