Split stay and FP+

[emmakatbaby]

How do making FP+ selections work with split stays? We are checking in July 12 and changing resorts on July 18 - giving me 2 reservation numbers. I am making FP+ selections Monday for July 12 ressie. Do I have to wait a few more days to make them for the second ressie? or can I make them all Monday by linking the reservations somehow?

You'll have two separate booking windows for your split stay. Each will open at 60 days.

That’s not correct.

When the window opens, FPs can be booked for the total days of all onsite stays - Split Stays have a fully open window.

You should be able to book for both stays (up to 14 days) when your 60 day window opens. I would call to just make sure they are 'linked' and identified as 'continuous' stays. If you are staying longer than 14 days you can book the 15th day of fastpasses on the day after your 60 day window and so on...

There isn’t any reason to call as long as both Confirmation #s are linked to MDX.

Just did my FPs April 29th, multi resort split, all opened at 60.
Have fun!

I apologize. It changed. I forgot.

I always get it mixed up - I too do split stays and yes, I've been able to book the length of my trip at 60 days for all legs of the split stay (last time we did 4 different resorts, our next one will be 3). For ADR's, I had a separate 180 day window per reservation.

HIRO... Does renting DVC points count as one continuous stay for FP and allow me to book for the entire trip ??

Thanks

 

[Dis Dragon]

Yes, DVC stays are considered the same.

Yes as @Dis Dragon stated. DVC, whether rented or owned, are onsite resort reservations.

I just called Disney and the CM said it is considered 2 separate reservations therefore I would need to do my fastpasses 2 separate days. I'm assuming he is new and not up to date on this info???

Most phone CMs will give incorrect answers on this subject. Poster @hiroMYhero knows her stuff, it is safe to trust her.

 

[karpy111]

Haha. Thanks!

Just to be sure...I have a DVC split stay in the fall, 7 nights at BWV and then 2 at SSR. My FP+ window opens on Monday. Will I be able to book all the way through the SSR stay on Monday? I think I can, but want to be sure. Thanks!

Yes! Have fun and good luck!

HiroMYhero, this is true for a split stay that involves the Swan, too, right? Those staying at the Swan for a portion of the nights don’t need to do anything special so long as the hotel reservation is linked in MDE and all guests have been added to the hotel reservation and matched to a ticketed guest, correct?

Yes, it holds true for Swan. There have been posters with recent Swan splits and no reports of problems with booking.
