Hi there, friend and welcome to planDisney!
With so many amazing
Disney Resort Hotels available to choose from, it's no wonder that you're considering a split stay when you next visit
Walt Disney World. It's a great way of being able to experience all that 2 different Disney Resort Hotels have to offer, during one trip.
Unfortunately, as you need to book a Hotel + Ticket package in order to take advantage of the
Free Dining & Drinks promotion, this means that if you were to book a split stay, you would only be eligible for the Free Dining & Drinks promotion on the booking which includes your
Tickets.
So, for example, if you were planning to visit Walt Disney World for 14-nights in total but, as a split stay with 7-nights at both Caribbean Beach Resort and Coronado Springs Resort, you would need to book, as follows:-
1/ A Hotel & Ticket package comprising a 7-night stay at Caribbean Beach Resort and 14-Day Disney Magic Tickets which would qualify for a Free Quick-Service Dining Plan for that 7-night stay.
2/ A Hotel Only booking for a 7-night at Coronado Springs Resort.
The only way to qualify for the Free Dining & Drinks promotion during your 7-night stay at Coronado Springs would be to purchase a second set of Disney Magic Tickets which you obviously would not need.
I'm sorry that this likely wasn't the news that you were hoping for.
You can, of course, still visit any of the other Disney Resort hotels you'd like to during your stay. My family enjoy doing this whilst we're on holiday as it helps us to decide where we might like to stay when we next visit. We almost always do a
monorail loop at some point during our trips, hopping on and off, to explore the Contemporary Resort, Polynesian Village Resort and Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, one at a time.
You are welcome to wander around, eat at any of the restaurants located at each of the Disney Resort Hotels (subject to availability), visit the shops etc. You would not, however, be able to use the swimming pools.
No matter which Disney Resort Hotel you decide to stay at, I am sure that you will have a blast.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
