Linking reservations -- why?

[erinna]

Ladies and gentlemen, it's the ever-growing Disney vacation:

First, it was 4 days at AKL thru DVC.

Then, we added a day at POP at the end to catch the first day of F&W.

Then, we got a better ticket deal by flying in early, so it's another two days at Caribbean Beach.

Since we've never switched resorts before, I've never linked reservations -- if I don't have a meal plan (AP +TiW for us!), do I need to? Should I?

Many thanks, as ever to the sages of the DISboards! E.

Linking is only necessary when you have two different reservations (due to wait listing or some such thing) for the same room type at the same resort. Linking them minimizes the chance that you'd have to move. If you are moving between resorts anyway, there's no linking.

Many thanks for the prompt and helpful repl -- I'm in that ohmigosh-did-I-do-anything-wrong-or-forget-anything stage.
