Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Lauren. I'm so glad you stopped by! You've certainly come to the right place if you're planning a Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Let's chat!
My family and I absolutely love split-stays for our Disney vacations. When we stay at two (or more!) Disney Resort hotels in a single vacation, we get to enjoy the unique theming, amenities, and recreational offerings of each! You ask an excellent question. In my experience with split-stays,
reservations for dining experiences or
Enchanted Extras, like a
cabana rental, for the second stay can be made 60-days in advance of the check-in date for the second hotel reservation. There was
one time that I was able to make reservations for the entirety of our split-stay starting 60-days before my first check-in date, but I suspect that was a magical little glitch in the system. It won't hurt to try booking the cabana rental when you hit that first 60-day mark, though!
Speaking of reservations, be sure to make a dining reservation for
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop for your stay at
Disney's Beach Club Resort. My family and I love to order and share their Kitchen Sink sundae; 8 scoops of ice cream with every topping. It's a must-try!
I hope this was helpful, Lauren. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
