Mobile Poly ddp

Am I right in thinking the free dining plan wasn’t offered at all at the poly this year?
Also how would the dining plan work if we moved rooms ie booked in a standard room for 13 nights and then a bungalow for the last night would it still be for the duration of our visit? Thanks in advance!

I can’t remember if it was offered or not sorry.

Your ddp would only be on your booking with tickets so your standard room as a bungalow would need to be a separate booking.

You are correct, it was available for stays last year but this year free dining was not offered.

But if the tickets were for 14 days and we still stayed for 14 nights just our last night in a different room would it not be covered? Sorry to sound stupid!

Disney’s free dining offer doesn’t fit with split stays (which is what this would be). They are classed as two bookings and you would need tickets for each to qualify and each would need to be at least 5 nights. Your ticket length is irrelevant.

Thanks for clarifying, if I’m paying for the dining though (if it’s not offered as free at poly for next year) is it still the same conditions?

You would just add the DDP to each of your bookings

You can of course use any of your remaining left over DDP credits from your 13 nights right up until midnight of the day you vacate your standard room (when you will actually be in the bungalow having vacated your standard room at 11am). That's what we always do when split staying. But you'd have to pay for breakfast on your 'actual' final day waking up in the bungalow.

Make sense?

Perfect sense! Thanks all, just making a back up plan if we are unable to go in October!

It depends. If you book the bungalow by renting DVC points you can pay to add DDP for that one night. If you are booking via Disney UK the rules around DDP remain the same - must be at least 5 nights and with tickets as part of the package.
