Split stay and 180 + 10?

[kandb]

We are arriving in August for 4 nights at YC and then 3 nights at GF. When making my dining I see I can only make 5 days and then have to wait to make the other 3/4 adr's. I know this was not like this last year. I could make the whole stay's adr's. When did this change?

I don't know exactly when it changed, but we had a split stay last August and we had to wait til 180 days opened up for our second resort to make our ADR's.

Seems like it's been about two years of it working this way. In the old days, even a single day reservation gave you access to the "+10." Now, they fixed the online system to match the actual rule, "180 days plus your length of stay up to 10 days." There was a time when you could call in and the phone agents ciuld still do the full +10, but they "fixed" that about a year ago, too.

Personally I don't think its fair because we are staying 7 days onsite and they should let you do the 180 + 10 from when you check into your Disney resort the first day. Why punish people for doing a split stay. It's 7 straight days in Disney resorts.

On the bright side, the FP+ system recognizes split stays.

A "split stay" is an internet concept that Disney does not recognize. To Disney you have 2 unique, totally separate reservations. They do not know it as a continuing reservation.

It's problematic. We are going with family in August and figured out a workaround. We have three rooms booked at POR for the weekend and then check in to a 2 bedroom villa at BC on Monday. We extended one of the hotel reservations at POR to cover us for the duration of the trip. We'll just change the check out day back later. Of course, this may only work if you have a group and multiple rooms. I'm not sure if they let one person hold two different reservations.

I suspect the IT work to link the reservations for ADR purposes is more extensive than most imagine. The systems in use at Disney are chock-full of legacy horror.

It's not punishment, though. It's completely neutral in approach.
