Room only extended stay

[Ringo8n24]

Has anyone ever done a room only for the first night then had additional nights where your dream maker package kicks in? This will be the first time we have done this usually staying off property the first night then checking in the onsight hotel for our week's Disney package the following morning. I was wondering if anyone has done this and were there any problems encountered?

If you are doing this at the same property, it will probably be handled as a continuing reservation. You will have a separate resv for the first night, and then one for your package. You would need to go to the front desk on the second morning & check back in. Explain to the agent when you book you room what you are doing and they should handle it.

I've never done it although a guy in my office did it summer of 2002. They stayed at All Sports on the first night and moved to Yacht Club for the rest of the trip. They didn't even have to move themselves. Disney transported their luggage for them to the new resort. They were told on moving day to have their stuff ready inside the door and go ahead and visit a park and to come back to Yacht Club check-in after 3:00 PM. When they returned to the Yacht Club, not only had their stuff been taken to the room, they had been upgraded to Concierge.

We've never done this at the start of our trip, but we have had such a good time we didn't want to leave & added to the end of the trip.

As far as moving to a different resort, we moved from DAKL to FW Cabins this past trip. We called the Bell Captain @ DAKL and they took care of everything. We spent the day in the parks and then checked into FW.We then just called down to baggage dept once we were checked into our cabin & the bags were sent over. Standard line is that they won't deliver without you being in the room, but we have not found that to be the case.

At Pop Century, you don't have to go to the front desk.
