BEST split stay?

[taramesu]

We're considering a split stay for our next trip. Is there an obvious "BEST" split stay option? We've gone to WDW twice and stayed at BLT and VGF (both for monorail convenience).

A Monorail and an Epcot resort!

That's exactly what I was thinking! I'm leaning towards BC & BLT.

We did our fist split stay last July!!! It was Great

We did BC first, then moved over to Poly! Had the best of both worlds, and it was like having 2 vacations in one

When we do a split stay we always pick a monorail and an Epcot resort. We usually stay at BLT and then either the Beach Club or Boardwalk Villas.

I don't think there's any one split that is "best" for everybody as everyone's preferences are different, but as others have said, a split between an Epcot resort and monorail resort is good if MK and Epcot/DHS are parks you frequent. That would give you the best of both worlds without a lot of travel time between the resort and park(s). I also think a MK area resort and AKL is a good split as AKL is a beautiful resort, but since it is out away from everything, it's quiet and serene, IMO.

We normally do monorail and epcot resort for split stays. Sometimes we do one of those with Animal Kingdom Lodge.

We're doing a split stay for the first time this year. Well, we sort of did last year with POFQ the night before our Disney Cruise and then back to BCV for 9 more days after the cruise.

This year we're doing POR (to save some money) and then switching over to a 1 bedroom at OKW. Can't wait!

On our last trip we did a split stay between BLT and AKL Jambo. The location of BLT was fantastic, of course. There was always lots of hustle and bustle around Contempo Cafe, the monorail, and shops but we really enjoyed it. I was afraid I wouldn't like AKL because of its location. It was totally different than BLT in a good way. It was relaxing and peaceful. The lobby was stunning and the savannah was amazing! This is a split stay we will definitely do again!

To take it one step further, I would do a MK resort during the weekdays and an Epcot resort for the weekend. The MK is very crowded on the weekends and Epcot usually has extra magic hours on Friday night.

Good thinking. What if we're going in Oct during F&W? Do I need to avoid Epcot on the weekends during F&W?

Avoid EPCOT Fri and Sat for sure during F&W, it was crazy crowded. We did F&W on Tues night and it was much, much better.

We like the Poly for when we tour MK and AK
We like the YC when touring EPCOT and DS

A split stay would be awesome. We loved our Oct stay, crowds were great, weather great, F&W great and MNSSP great!

We usually start with POR and always stay at WL during our trips. For the remaining split we usually like to mix it up with one of the EPCOT resorts (Ususally BC or YC) and sometimes a monorail resort but we're pretty consistant with splits between the MK area resorts and EPCOT area resorts.
