How long to stay and switch resorts??

[lizmc]

Could those of you who have tried this give me some pointers.
I am organizing a trip for Dec. 2003 and we will be coming from a long way off, hawaii. I will The 1st day or so will be jet lag recovery time.. Here is the plan\\

4 nights at the AKL and then switch and do 6 nights at the Grand Floridian.

Is that enough time at each resort to manage the switch ??
We have been there once 4 years aga at the YC , but my then 3 year old daughter was sooo sick with influenza we only spent 1 day in the park. So although I have been there I don't know too much about WDw other than the medical help available and how wonderful the staff is in a crunch!!!!

Thanks so much for any input///

Aloha

In my opinion I think that is a goos split for the 10 days. Hope you have a good time and your daughter stays well. :D

I agree, that's a good plan. AKL is wonderfully relaxing, especially if you have jet lag. Just curious, how many hours is your trip going to take?

[lizmc]

The trip from here to WDW will take about 14 to 16 hours depending on lay over time. there is a time change as well, we are 5-6 hours earlier than Florida, so we definitely don't get up too early for the first few days..!!

Do you think that is a long enough stay to get everything in???

It's plenty of time to do everything and at a pace that won't be too rushed. In reality, it depends on what type of passes you are purchasing. With a 4-day, it would be hectic. But since you are staying 10 days, I assume you will be entering the theme parks a majority of those days. Also the hotel splitting should be fine. Just don't plan to do too much on the day of the move. Maybe plan that as a semi-rest day. Have fun.

You should be able to see alot in 10 days, but everything? That will depend on how much you want to see, and there is plenty. I have been going 7 - 8 days for the last 3 years, and there is still lots more for me to see and do.
