When can I make my FP+ reservations?

[meryll83]

Just looking for a little help to understand how this will work with a split stay...

We have a 4 night stay, 3 night DCL cruise, then a 5 night stay. We're Annual Pass holders and DVC members.

Can I only book the first 4 nights / 5 days worth when my window opens, and then I have to wait for a separate window for the second part of our stay? Or can I book any days for the second part within our first window?

Any advice much appreciated!

We did something very similar to this in April 2016. First four nights at Poly VC, four nights on the Dream, then two nights at BLT.

We were able to book 60 days prior to our PVC stay for the first four nights and then we had to wait for our second booking window to book the last two days.

This is the one thing I really dislike about split stays…this will definitely be tricky if you are looking for FOP because people are saying you can't book that until day 4 or 5 of your trip.

Good Luck!

Yes. It's because you have 2 separate onsite stays - you essentially have 3 short vacations. You don't have a Split Stay.

Oh no! That's a bit of a worry I guess Plan B would just be to go straight there at rope drop?

Thanks for clarifying, you're right, it's not a true split stay is it!
