Last weekend we did a 3 resort trip - given it was Presidents weekend it was the only way we could go; it was myself, my wife and my 13 year old son.
Stayed at AKL-Kidani studio savannah view the first night; second night BWV one bedroom standard view and finally the GF one bedroom lagoon view.
Here are some takeaways and thoughts
1. Did online check-in and that was great as we got texts each day with our room number; made the process really easy.
2. Rule of the trip was pack light - and the transfers between each resort was flawless
3. We dined at each resort (scheduled this way) - Sanaa was good, Beaches and Cream ok and Narcooses was outstanding. Narcooses was honestly one of the best meals/experiences as a couple at WDW ever.
4. We were GF snobs - no more. GF resort was fabulous; the best burger of the entire trip was the Beaches pool bar at GF.
5. My wife loved BWV; as did my son. It could be the new favorite and could see me adding some points there. Just a great resort and loved the convenience. The room there was a little dated but gorgeous.
6. The AKL studio was bigger than one I stayed at BLT. Part to layout but just is bigger.
Not having a room during the day was strange but we got in at or before 4 each day. Part of the fun was getting to open the door on a new to us resort Friday and Saturday. Have a new life goal - GV at GF for my retirement.
