Go check out this thread that corvettes posted. It’s very extensive and includes multiple accounts of folks that are experiencing this issue and what they been told by cast members.
Is this true now or just speculation on things to come?Sorry guys, only direct buyers can book FP+ 60 days out from first arrival for split stays.
Is this true now or just speculation on things to come?
Just thought I'd share what I learned yesterday. Not sure it's the right info but am inclined to think it is. I emailed DVC via the member site. I asked if we had a consecutive stay booked in 2 reservations, either same resort and room but different memberships or split stay at 2 resorts, could we still make FP on 60 days as a continuous stay or would it be two separate 60 day windows. I was told, in writing, that it is considered 1 continuous as long as consecutive days are booked (no missing days). That I will be able to make ALL FP at the first day's 60 day window. For a maximum of 14 days. I will keep this email. I have a 9 night stay booked in the fall with both types mentioned (1 night BWV Aug UY then 6 nights BWV Aug UY then 2 nights SSR). Take it for what it's worth as many folks are getting conflicting answers from DVC. But this was the e-mail person so I am hoping they might know more or took the time to find out the legit answer. But it did take 2 e-mails as she didn't understand what I was asking in the first e-mail....so....
I hope it's worked out by July when I book FP. But I have ADR issues with split stays sometimes...sometimes I don't. So I won't be banking on it working out.That is definitely the way it used to be. (We all want that response to be correct)!
However, ever since the recent FP+ software change to address the "throwaway" room issue, not everyone's actual 60 day experience is matching the response you received. Before I believe the issues have been corrected, I want to hear from more people who have split stays coming up that their actual FP+ experience matches the response you received. IMO, there are still way too many reports of bad experiences to intentionally plan a split stay. YMMV.
Yeah I was told by MS that split stays are continuous for back to back DVC stays and that is all they could confirm (when I brought up the cash side they just that was different, whatever that means). It was already confirmed a cash stay (Yacht Club) wouldn't be considered as continuous. DVC is already treated differently for ADR than the cash so it might be possible.https://disneyparksmomspanel.disney...it-stay-summer-staying-okw-polynesian-397498/
I posted a question on Mom panel and attached is the link to the answer.
Unfortunately it say each reservation has a 60 day window. It did also say that another member has had ‘pixie dust’ and been able to book for their entire stay.
Its super frustrating but i am planning as though we will have 4 different fp window for our 14 night stay.
