Hi Kristina,
Welcome to planDisney!
What a wonderful trip you are planning! I love Disney's Pop Century Resort and Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Your question is a good one - it is the dining reservation dilemma. Unfortunately, at this time, we cannot book dining or other
Enchanted Extras Collection experiences for the length of stay when we have a split stay at different
Disney Resorts Collection resort hotels. Your
booking window date will be determined by your resort hotel check-in date for each resort reservation.
Since I imagine there are certain reservations and tours that you hope to secure, my suggestion would be to try to book those with your first reservation since it is the longest one. You may find availability for certain hard to get reservations toward the end of the dates for your first stay. We are always looking for a lunch reservation at
Space 220 Lounge and breakfast reservations at
Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera and
Cinderella's Royal Table. So, I always check those first.
Kristina, looking at your arrival date, the good news is that you have time to consider your resort hotel options! Keep an eye on the
Special Offers. If price is a concern, consider shortening your stay to 10 or 11 nights and staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge for the entire time. Having said that, it's a tough choice because with Disney's Pop Century Resort, you have access to the
Disney Skyliner. I am sending a little extra pixie dust trusting that you will be able to make the most amazing dining and experience reservations!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
