mixed reservation type - can I keep my room?

[Cfabar1]

If I have 5 nights booked on points
but then book 2 nights cash on the Walt Disney World website or member rental or from DVC on cash

and they are the same resort and same room type

will I be allowed to keep my room, or will I maybe need to move?

If I need to move my room, I won't add on the extra 2 nights...

If they’re the exact same room type, I’d notify MS, and also Disney Resorts if a cash booking is involved. Give them all relevant confirmation numbers and ask for a “continuing stay” notation to be placed on them. The resort wants you to stay in the same room, too, to save housekeeping costs, and the continuing stay notation helps them know to do it. When you check in for the first segment, visit the front desk and ask whether they see that on your reservation. If it’s not there, that’s the best time for them to fix it.

If it is a cash reservation visit MS it can definitely be connected so you won’t have to move.

The others aren’t guaranteed but they do not want to have you move so just have it noted that it’s all traveling with and continuous and as noted, mention at check in.

We do multiple membership stays all the time and never have to move.

Management does not want to have to clean the room an extra time. Stop by the front desk—these requests are pretty much always granted. I personally have done this with back-to-back RCI exchanges. There might have been some wonkiness with a key but it was easy to work out.

There is no way to guarantee you won’t have to change rooms but if you tell them ahead of time as part of the room request for each res the odds are very, very good you won’t have to move. Increase your odds by confirming at the front desk BEFORE you go to your room that they have you staying in the same room for the next reservation. Frankly I’d go ahead and play the odds as I don’t recall anyone ever reporting back Disney made them move.

I’ve had a few mixed bookings at Disney and they have always kept me in the same room. I do have to get re-keyed on changeover day and you will have one folio for each stay so if you want to pay down charges with gift cards from stay 1 make sure to do that the last night of stay 1.
