    Doing split stay w 1st night at Saratoga & MNSSHP then OKW package for the rest of the week. If we call and link the reservation can we do our LLs for the full stay 7 days prior to Saratoga or do we have to wait til 7 days before OKW?

    Hi Jennifer!

    Welcome back to planDisney! And thanks for making us one of your go-to resources when planning your Disney vacations!

    I’m happy to report that since you have two consecutive stays at Disney World resorts, you will be able to book your Lightning Lane services for your entire trip (pending availability) beginning at 7 AM Eastern, 7 days prior to the first resort’s check-in date. No need to call to link the reservations!

    Advanced dining reservations will be a little different, though. Since you’ll be doing a split stay, you will have two separate advanced dining reservation booking windows. Your first booking window will open at 6 AM Eastern, 60 days prior to your Saratoga Springs check-in date. Since you’re staying at that resort for 1 night, you’ll be able to make your reservations for your check-in and check-out days. Then at 6 AM Eastern, 60 days prior to your Old Key West check-in date, you’ll be able to book dining for the rest of your trip.  

    Remember, as a part of this year’s Cool KIDS’ SUMMER event, you also get free water park admission on your check-in day since you're staying at a Disney World resort. And since you have two different check-in days during your trip, you’ll have two days of free water park admission! I actually purposefully booked a split stay this summer just to really take advantage of that perk! 

    To make it even sweeter, both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach are open this summer. So, you’ll have options.

    I hope that helps! And that you have the best time! Let us know if you have any other questions as you continue to plan.

    Jenn J.
