Dining plan question

Please forgive me -I'm out of the loop - but do I recall reading somewhere that if I stay at two resorts, I need to take the dining plan for the whole of my stay. Have I got this right?

Just to elaborate, we are staying three days at BLT followed by four at BCV. I booked them online and have no idea as to whether the reservations will automatically be linked.

What I would really like to do is the deluxe plan for the BLT stay and the regular plan or OOP for the BCV part of the trip, but something tells me this is no longer possible.

Can anyone clarify?

Thanks

Since they are different reservations, you can book them with different dining plans (or no plan at one). Your dining credits will expire at midnight of your check out day for each resort so you can't save dining credits from your first resort to use later in your stay at the other resort.

There was a time when DVC members could purchase the dining plan for only a portion of their stay at ONE resort. That policy lasted about a year before being discontinued.

But if you're doing a split stay at two resorts, you can still buy the DDP for one resort stay and not the other.
