split stay ? RE: tickets

[kevingg]

I know this has been posted somewhere but I am unable to find it. I am arriving on the 24th of Aug. at Pop for a ressie with two nights before my new ressie with Dining begins on the 26th at OKW. Does anyone know if I am able to receive my park tickets earlier than my check-in date on the 26th? Also, who would I contact at Disney to verify any info?

if the tickets are tied to the Dinning you won't get them.

how did you do Pop - room only, or tickets and room?

you can call CRO or WDWTC.

I am bumping again for you since I know I have seen that people can get access to their park tickets when the tickets are part of second stay. But you are unclear as to how you booked these two rooms.

On your POP stay you are a room only right?

On your OKW stay are you PAYING for a room , tickets and getting free dining OR you are using DVC points and have dining added to your reservation. I guess it is a little unclear because you are staying at DVC resort so we aren't sure how your tickets attach to your second resort.

Keep trying the search engine because I know this has been done before. The only thing is I am not sure if the FREE dining packages alter this in some way.

On my Pop stay it is room only and then at OKW it is with the free dining promo. Should I just call Guest relations? Does anyone have the number or email?

i am 99% certain that you will not be able to get your tickets before you check in for your package reservation... it's sometimes do-able (w/lots of effort) to get your tickets a day early if you are continuing your reservation at the same resort... but two different resorts, super highly unlikely...

perhaps you can do some other fun stuff before you get your tickets... like maybe hit a water park (and buy a separate ticket 'cause if you are only going to a water park once, it's cheaper to buy a day ticket than to add the water park/more option), go to any dinner shows you are planning, do your fireworks cruise, fishing, shopping, etc in the first two days...

I just found this. It can be done if you were staying at the same resort. It does not look like you can do it having a split stay.

Check out this link and go to where CHIP N Dale posted. I believe Tyler on everything since he is always helpful about what he knows as a CM.

We've been over this recently on these boards.

It IS possible, but many CM's do not know the correct procedure and as a result will simply say it cannot be done because they do not know otherwise.

There are some caveots and such and the CM's who DO know the procedure should be able to inform you of those at the time they do it for you .. IF you can find one who knows the procedure.
