Haven't done a split stay in so long, I didn't know this.
Also...did you see the announcement that there will be no more DO NOT DISTURB signs? You'll now have a "Room Occupied" sign to hang out and Housekeeping will check your room daily even if you DON'T want it cleaned. You hang out the "Room Occupied" sign to signal no housekeeping but they will knock, identify themselves and enter the room to inspect it. I understand that it's a "safety issue" (as DD says...they need to make sure you're not building a bomb or something in the room
) and I'm okay with that but hate to have to "straighten up" before we leave for the parks!
I heard about this. I'm ok with it better safe than sorry.
At least they're on the field running and getting their body temperature up while we're just SITTING wrapped in blankets! 
I'm pretty sure you need a park ticket to get in even if you only have a meal reservation. You might want to double check that. I'd schedule resort or Disney Springs reservations on days you're not planning on a park visit just to be safe. You may be right on the 7 AM booking time; I was actually thinking 6 AM. I'll ask DD if she knows for sure but seems like I remember her telling me she sets her alarm clock for 5 AM Central time (6 AM Eastern time) to begin her bookings. 
It's 0 out now and we have to go to the hockey alumni game. The high school plays out of a different arena now and it's one of the old ones that is not heated and there is no warm room to warm up in. When it's really cold outside it feels just as cold inside.
...with O degree temperature that could be MISERABLE! 
Good for Nick...and 
This is from the AK but it's not in Dinoland. It's on a tree.
