Linking a DVC night with points to a regular reservation

[Disney's Fan]

I'm using my DVC points for the first night of my trip and the rest of my trip is booked through the regular disney website. If I have the same resort/room type, are the reservations able to be linked so I don't have to switch rooms? Thanks for any advice!

You can't link them but you can ask not to be moved. You'd put that request in through MS as well as CRO then repeat it when you check in. You will have to check in again on the change day.

Thanks for the advice and explanation! I'm going to give it a try.

Good luck, let us know how it goes. You stated you had the same resort/room type which helps if completely accurate. The one thing that might get you would be if you had a booking category that is not going to be available to cash guests like standard view or a lockoff 2 BR or similar.

I booked a one bedroom at Old Key West using the fall passholder room discount. (Dec 18-24) I am booking my first night of the trip (Dec 17)with my DVC points. Do you think that will be an issue?

Not as long as your points reservations is NOT for near HH category.

Make sure that if you call to request to stay in the same room that they note it on both of the reservations. I'm sure just about anyone in MS would already know to do that, but double check. If they only note 1 reservation, it could get missed.

Thanks, and I will plan on having it noted on both reservations. I'm hoping for the best and will follow up after my trip to update how it turned out!

I did that once and luckily i did not have to leave.

I did it once, 5 nights on points and then 1 night on an AP rate. I did have to go to the front desk and get new keys (this was before magic bands). No problem keeping the same room and we got full housekeeping that day.

I wanted to follow up to say that noting the confirmation numbers on both reservations worked, and we didn't need to switch rooms. I specifically didn't put any special requests on either reservation to improve my chances of staying put. Thanks for that advice!

On a side note, we didn't get any maid service at all on our checkin/out day. May have been because the second part was with our DVC points.
