Hey, howdy, hey, Madelon, and welcome back to planDisney. I am so glad to see you again and thank you for being such a fan since 2009. You are making a trip to the place where "dream come true" and doing a split stay at my family's two favorite Resort hotels. Disney's Pop Century Resort holds a special place for us because it was the first hotel we stayed at with our entire family. Disney's Beach Club Resort has the best pool on the property, Stormalong Bay. The Flying Jib slide and silky sand-bottomed pool are perfection.
Here is how
Disney Vacation Packages with theme park tickets work. Tickets associated with vacation packages are available for use on the check-in day of the package and not before. In your example, you will be to use your tickets starting on September 4, 2023, and will need to purchase a separate
theme park ticket for any theme park adventures before that date. Please remember to make your
theme park reservations as soon as you decide where you would like to be each day. Typically, we base our theme park reservations on where we get dining reservations.
planDisney Pro Tip: Another cool fact is that
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel Guests may make
dining reservations 60 days before their check-in date for their entire stay up to 10 days. Since you have a split stay, you will be able to make advance dining reservations for your Disney's Pop Century Resort stay 60 days before September 2, 2023, for September 2-4, and for September 4-9 Disney's Beach Club Resort stay beginning 60 days before September 4, 2023.
Madelon, thank you again for visiting with us. Please feel free to
write me back directly with follow-up questions.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
