Hey there Jae and thank you for stopping by planDisney with this delicious question. One of the best parts about vacation is not having to cook and clean the dishes. Mickey is bringing back a fan favorite next year and you are right on point to take advantage of the Dining Plans at Walt Disney World Resort.
I wanted to verify my thought that it would be the same as years past and after talking with three Cast Members, the answer is... yes, you could combine them. However, in order to do that you need to make sure that you have:
- A valid table service meal available on your Dining Plan from Disney Resorts Collection Hotel A and use it before 11:59 PM the day you check out.
- Be checked in to your Disney Resorts Collection Hotel B. Check-in is when the dining plan meals are activated. Check-in is 3:00 PM for Disney Resort Hotels and 4:00 PM for Disney Deluxe Villas.
This split-stay idea is brilliant because you get more magic and can take advantage of the dining plan as though it is one continuous reservation. Remember, since you are staying on property you will be able to make
dining reservations 60 days in advance for the entire length of the reservation. So you will have two 60-day time points because you will have two different hotel reservations. Even though you are staying back-to-back you will not be able to make all reservations for the entire length of your stay 60 days from check-in of Hotel A.
planDisney Pro Tip: Since you are moving from one Disney Resort Hotel to another you can have
Bell Services transfer your bags to the new hotel.
Jae, I hope this information helps you plan an enchanted table service adventure. Please feel free to
write me back directly with any follow-up questions.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
