Split stay

[katrinam]

Hello, I have booked 6 nights in January at All Star Sports with the stay, play and dine promotion. I'm considering staying there the first 3 nights and the remaining 3 moving to AKL. I'm trying to work out prices on the Disney website but finding it hard because the promotion is for a min 5 night stay .. doesn't give me the option of changing resorts halfway. Just wondering if anyone has booked a split stay with a Disney promotion .. Is it possible to move with this promotion? Thanks!

No, unfortunately you can’t “bridge” a discount/promotion with a minimum night stay between two reasons like that. Has to be at one resort.

Note the term “split stay” is not an official Disney term. When one does book a split stay, you have to make two totally seperate reservations, and that’s how Disney views it as well.

Hope that helps.

The Play, Stay, Dine Special Promo has a minimum stay of 3 nights. The example Disney uses shows a 5 night stay, but you don't have to stay 5 nights. If you want to change resorts midway through your vacation, you will have to make a separate reservation. As GaDisneyDad wrote, "split stay" is an internet term and not an official Disney policy. To Disney you would be making two completely separate reservations.

I have not looked into the P, S, D promo, but most promos let you book tickets of up to 10 days even if you are staying fewer nights. The ticket minimum will be in the info for the promo. If this is true of P, S, D you could book tickets for your whole trip with the P, S, D reservation and then book a room only for the AKL nights and pay out of pocket for food (or book a ticketless package with a paid dining plan).

If you wanted P, S, D for the AKL portion of your vacation as well there would have to be a room available under the promo and it would include tickets (the Play part) which would probably make the promo no longer cost effective.
