I have had that also. I had a client from England who stayed at the Poly for a total of 16 nights and I had to break it into 2 for the room only. They do add continuing reservation to the booking.

Reality or Myth?
OK, I heard a wierd take on the 30 day room reservation. It goes like this: on the 31st day you qualify as a Florida resident and would be eligible for Florida resident discount rates. That being the reason for breaking the room "rental" into a different reservation/rental contract.
No kidding, I talked to a guy in the AP line for the EE preview that goes to Disney ALOT as his son lives in southern Florida so he combines his Disney trips with visits to the grandkids.
Any truth to this? :veryconfu

The passholder discount offer (as are most discount offers) is limited to 10 nights. This is mostly due to system limitations. Guest who would like to stay longer then 10 nights may, but will need to book 2 separate reservations.
Basically, this is true. According to FL law, if you reside in the same residence for more then 30 days, you are a resident. As a result, you could legally apply for a Driver's license, Voter's ID card, and even have your mail forwarded to this new residence. As a result, no overnight lodging in FL will book a single reservation for more then 30 nights. You will always be required to book 2 (or more) reservations of no more then 30 nights each.
Fun Fact: Disney does have several Guests each year who like to enjoy extended stays at our Resorts and our Campground. I have booked Guests for a 2 1/2 month stay at Port Orleans and, a 80 night stay at the Beach Club Resort (in the Vice Presidental Suite no less!), and over 3 month stays at Fort Wilderness. Again, technically they were on multiple reservations, but was able to stay in the same room/site for the entire trip.

I overheard a couple talking about this. They were retired and basically travelled the country in their RV. They were commenting about in Florida that allot of the RV sites would make them pull up after the thirty days and move or re-register.

We are full-time RVers. RVers often spend long amounts of time somewhere warm in the winter. These folks are called snowbirds. Anyway, the last time we stayed at FW there were people there who were staying for 6 months. Multilple reservations. You don't get a length of stay discount or anything either. They didn't tell us how much this was costing them, but I'm sure it was quite pricey.

As far as the longest on site stay I've seen. When we stayed at the BWV, there was a retired man there that we talked to & he said that he was staying there for 6 weeks. Now that's a vacation!

Here's a question: If you do two reservations for a trip longer than 10 days, do you have to pay two deposits?

Yesterday I booked a 14 night stay at Pop Century for December 2006 - online with one deposit and one confirmation number.

All the resort stays I mentioned in my little fun fact above are reservations I personally have booked for our Guests over the years. I have heard of stays as long as 8 months at Fort Wilderness, but the longest I personally booked there was around 3 1/2 months.
The 80 night stay at the Beach Club Vice Presidential Suite was one of the most expensive reservations I have ever booked.

Or you can just book for the Swan and Dolphin and make it as long as you'd like! (No need for separate reservations!) :lol:
And the longest I've seen anyone at my hotel is only 25 days, and two of the three times were in either the Presidential or Vice-Presidential. (And they can cost up to $10,000 night/room...and they usually have multiple rooms!)
