    If I book my stay at a Disney Resort Hotel with credit cardpoints, can I still use the benefits associated with staying at a Disney Resort? For instance, extended hours, 60 + 10 for dining reservations

    Hey Howdy Hey Nga and welcome to planDisney!

    Oh boy, I am so happy to hear you saved up enough credit card points to book your Magical vacation. This makes planning so much easier knowing a huge part of the expense is already taken care of! Of course, this does come with some questions as you bring up. Don't worry; you've got a friend in me who can give you some insights. 

    I am happy to report that no matter the way you book, with credit card points, Special Offers, through a travel agent and so much more, as long as you have a reservation with a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you will receive the benefits of staying onsite. There are so many benefits you will have access to that planning your vacation will be so much easier as well as having a little extra time in the parks. 

    While you do mention some of the benefits you will have during the planning and while you are onsite during your vacation, there is one new one that you should be aware of. I'm sure you know, but recently Disney has unveiled a new product with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass. With these options, Guests staying onsite at Disney Resort hotels will be able to purchase and book their Lightning Lane selections for their whole trip 7 days before they arrive. You can do this all through your My Disney Experience app and is super easy to do. This will give you so much more time to enjoy the day rather than stressing about waking up early enough to purchase and book these options the day of. 

    I hope you are enjoying the planning part of your upcoming vacation and wish you the best of luck getting all of your dining reservations and Lightning Lanes booked for your perfect day. If you have any other questions please let us know, we are always happy to help!

    To Infinity and Beyond,
