So - I am thinking of doing the same thing as ashmac8, but will be upgrading to DVC APs and haven't yet bought a ticket yet, and had a few questions specific to our situation:
1. We are going to the parks for probably 6-7 days total, but with a 1 week cruise in between. So we are looking at WDW for 3-4 days before and after the cruise. Total time "on vacation" is exactly 14 days. So we
could buy 1 6-7 day ticket to cover both short stays. But my question is about FPs - since we aren't upgrading to the AP until we get there,
1a.will we be able to make 3-4 days of FP reservations at 60 days out for the precruise stay, and then another set of 3 days of FP starting 60 days out for the postcruise stay on the same ticket?
1b. Or are we limited to making 6-7 consecutive days of FP reservations beginning at 60 days before the first day of our first stay? Or something else?
2. Memory maker math - we'd want to prepurchase the memory maker as well, right? since it takes a couple days to activate? In ashmac's example above, if you've already bought MM before upgrading, does Disney credit the MM purchase price when upgrading, too?
3. Is there something I'm not considering here, given our two short stays? We're going in mid-August, so I'd have to buy tickets this week and link to my
MDE account before making FP reservations, right?
Thanks in advance. I thought I had it all figured out but then ...
