Split Stay with DVC Rental

[MomofPrincessGrace]

So, we were originally going to do 2 days at a deluxe renting DVC points at the end of our trip. When I was looking at David's DVC rentals, we can stay at a DVC to the price we stayed at a moderate last year. We are thinking of doing 3 nights at the Poly, followed by 4 nights at Beach Club. How does this work with park tickets? Can we still buy 6 days tickets with park hopper and link it to our account? Im really excited about staying at a deluxe, but want it to be as smooth of a transition as possible.

Thanks in advance!

You can buy any kind of ticket and link it. They would be two room-only reservations. (I am assuming you will rent points for both these resorts).

You will be able to book FPs for the whole trip at 60 days out from stay no. 1. ADRs will have two windows though. And Disney will transfer your luggage for you.

If you want a dining plan, the owner will have to book it for you.

If you want to add DME then either the owner can do it or you can book it if you phone them directly. You will not be able to add DME online yourself.

Thank you so much for this! I think this is what we will do. We aren't going to do the dining plan next time, so room and tickets being linked was my concern! Thanks!

You'll just need to link the reservation manually to your MDE when you get the confirmation code, but the rest is exactly the same as a regular room stay for your situation.

This is what I did, I booked 2 nights on hotwire at Dolphin for $80 a night, we always wanted to stay at Dolphin. I have 3 nights booked at VGF through DVC Rental Store as well as 4 nights at PVB. Im super excited we have stayed at GF and Poly before but not on the DVC side and its our first rental, I may be doing this more often as its cheaper.
Does anyone know if we will have to pay for parking? I did book wayyyyyyy before the March 21 deadline but I was wondering for my next rental if Ill have to pay next year staying DVC

No you won't. Those points you rented have had maintenance dues paid on them, so no parking fee.

If you booked direct with Disney, then you would.

Thanks for asking this, because I was wondering the same thing! This makes it soooooooo much cheaper than booking with Disney.
