Hi there Britni,
Welcome to
planDisney! It sounds like you’ve planned a fantastic
Disney World vacation for the Fall, I’m so glad you stopped by with a question about your split stay. My family often books split stays - it’s such a great way to experience the amenities and theming of multiple resorts in one trip. It’s like getting more than one trip in one!
How fantastic that you’re taking advantage of the free dining offer! The
Disney Dining Plan is such a great way to enjoy all the delicious dining options across the resort. As you mentioned, you’ll also receive a refillable mug that can be used for coffee, tea, and soft drinks at beverage stations in any Disney Resort hotel. The best part? These mugs are valid for 14 days, so you’ll be able to use them at each of your resort stays - even though your Dining Plan is tied to your first check-in at
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.
Since you’re staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, don’t forget to take advantage of the
2025 Water Park benefit where you will receive complimentary entry to a Disney water park on check-in day - it’s such a fun perk! My family can’t wait to use it during our own split stay this summer and receive water park entry on both check-in days. You’ll have access to both Disney Water Parks, which is the perfect way to cool off and enjoy some extra magic. And here’s a handy tip: no need to pack towels! Just swing by
Singapore Sal’s at Typhoon Lagoon or The Beach Haus at Blizzard Beach, and a friendly Cast Member will be happy to provide you with complimentary towels.
I hope this information is helpful to your planning, Britni. I hope the countdown to your trip moves quickly, Fall will be here before you know it! If you think of any other planning questions, please revisit planDisney - we are happy to help!
Enjoy making magical memories,
Candace
