Split Stay Question & Tickets

[bookgirl2632]

I’ve been investigating doing a split stay. Ideally, it would be 4 nights at Pop and 6 nights at a DVC resort, renting points. I think I have the logistics down for the split stay.

However, I am wondering about getting tickets through UT, since they are cheaper. If I do that, can I still get the DDP? I’ve always been under the impression that you had to buy tickets as part of a package to get the DDP. But I also know that the DVC member I would be renting from can book the DDP for that portion of the trip. My concern is getting the DDP for the Pop portion and still using tickets from UT.

Is this possible or should I just purchase tickets from Disney?

Yes you can. You will have to call and tell the CM that you would like to book a ticketless package. We've done it many times.
