We finally have our travel dates for 2013 We are going November 9th-19th, possibly adding on 1 or 2 more nights if my husbands job will allow us.
We've decided to do a split stay this trip (we have never done this before!), because the kids REALLY want to stay at Pop Century and we REALLY want to stay at POFQ.So we figure we would have the best of both worlds by doing a split stay..5 nights at each resort.
I have priced it out 2 ways, one being 5 nights at Pop, with 10 day passes and then just a room only reservation at POFQ, the other doing 2 separate reservations for each resort, getting 5 day passes with each reservation(obviously costing more $$). Here is where I get confused: IF, and that is a REALLY big IF...free dining comes our for our dates, or if I am lucky enough to get a PIN for free dining, how would this work with a split stay? If I book the 5 nights and POP with the 10 day tickets, and a room only ressie for POFQ, we would only get the dining plan for the 5 days, right? Is my only option to book 2 separate packages, each with 5 day tickets and dining plan? Is it possible for Disney to book one reservation at 2 resorts, so that I only have to purchase one set of 10 day tickets, which is cheaper than buying 2 sets of 5 day tickets? Does any of this even make any sense? LOL..just trying to figure out the easiest and most cost efficient way to allow us to do a split stay IF we are fortunate to get the free dining (which we are SO SO HOPING FOR!!)
