Split Stay?

[TeacherDL]

I just want to make sure I do this right. Beach Club Villas are available for Wednesday-Saturday of our trip. We love Beach Club, so I'm thinking about staying in a regular room Sunday-Wednesday, and then moving to the villas. So, should I just put all of our park tickets on the first regular room? It seems cheaper that way online. Do we have to change magic bands when we move, or can we just have them reprogram the ones we already have? Thanks in advance!

You can definitely reprogram the ones you have and link them. Often you can actually just decline the magic bands for the second room set and say that you already have some. Them you can come in online and update them with their serial numbers so you're already setup.

Putting your park tickets on the first one should be fine.

I believe you need your park tickets on the first one to start using them right away when you arrive. I don't know if you are doing them as part of a package or not. The second half would then be considered a room only reservation. You definitely do not want to pay for two shorter sets of tickets, one longer ticket package is much cheaper if that's what you meant . The only time you would do that would be if you want certain package plans. Since Disney considers your split stay two totally separate reservations, you may need 2-3 day tickets for some(like free dining), and then you'd have to do sets, which may or may not be worth it. Or you could do all tickets with first stay and have free dining, but only valid till midnight of the day you check out, so you'd lose it for last 3 days. For FP, I think you would have to make your first 4 days at your 60 day mark, and then wait for the 60 day mark of your 2nd reservation to make the rest.
