Spilt Day - 1st Check Out Day

[iHEARTflorida]

Hi,

I have the Quick Service DDP on the first half of my stay, and no plan for the 2nd. I’ve read that when you check into your new hotel it can mess up any credits you might still have left to use before midnight ? Is this still true? Tried to research but couldn’t find definitive answer.

I know our credits won’t transfer to the 2nd hotel reservation. But I don’t want to check in a 4pm and then lose our dinner credits!

Good question and one that I might be dealing with during our next split stay.

It’s been a long time since I last saw reports of it happening, so not sure if DDP/WDW finally managed to fully fix the issue.

Hopefully it doesn’t happen!

If you’re physically checking in, I’d check the credits after entering the room with plans to hit the front desk if they’re gone (if still seeing the unused credits after entering your room, then you should be fine until midnight).

Another route is if your magic bands are set up for room charging privileges - then if you’re in the park all day and credits go awol after your new room is assigned, you can charge dining to the MB and later visit the front desk that night or next morning. They will be able to find your unused credits and apply them to the dining bills linked/charged on your magic band.

Neither may be convenient and/or possible depending for everybody though, depending on plans and circumstances, and I’m not sure if guest services could sort it?

I've done this plenty of times and didn't have any issues except once. The issue was when mobile ordering late night on the checkout day, it was after 9pm at disney springs. It didnt let me use the 1 meal credit I had left. But I ordered in person and it was there so it may have been a glitch on the app. That only happened once over a year ago. Otherwise its never been an issue.

I’ve read that you can visit the front desk and they will even transfer unused credits to your 2nd reservation. I have no personal experience though.

I'm glad you asked about this as I'm considering getting the DDP for the first half of my split stay in May. We really don't need it for the whole trip, but I'd like to put the more expensive dinners at the front of our trip to utilize the DDP and then have the mug for the rest of our time there.

They won't do that. Credits have to be used by midnight of check out day. If there are problems with the prior credits being used late on check out day, best thing to do is take a screen shot of any remaining credits and charge the meal back to the room. Then go to the FD when you return to the second resort. The FD CM will be able to remove the charges and use the DDP credits for it. However, good thing is the resort mug will still work!
