If you stay 2 nights on points & 1 night on cash and they link the reservations and want DDP for just the points night they can't keep the ressies linked.

 

[Deb & Bill]

That's been discussed for months on this board. If they link the reservation, you have to have the same dining plan for all of the stay. The only way to not link the reservation is to move.

But if you book the cash night from DRC instead of MS, they can't be linked, but you will have to check out and check in and probably will have to move.

I just had them not link the reservation and she said that would work, but we might have to move...not a big deal for us. We would have had a harder time using 3 days of DDP since we arrive at midnight on the check in day and leave at noon on the check out day.

It might be worth asking if the additional costs of paying for your meals out of pocket is worth the convenience of knowing you do not have to move.

I would link and take the DDP for all 3 nights. Some restaurants and dining require 2 credits, and you could enjoy one of them if you wanted to in order to use them up faster.

I have read on here that some members ended up not having to move rooms so maybe you will get lucky.

We use the DDP and I would rather move rooms then have to take it for the entire stay. For us, we did a split stay this summer, moving was not that big of a deal.

I think if you are someone who buys a lot of groceries and does a lot of eating in the room (which means you are probably not on the DDP anyway), moving could be a hassle. For us, it really was not a big deal. We rent a car so all our things were with us.

And, we are usually in the park during the afternoon, so not having the room was really no big deal.

Having to move is actually the exception so I would not be concerned to much about that.

See if Disney would only try my Disney Dining Your Way Plan then people could just get the plan for how many days they want..... Okay I won't go into the whole spill again.
