Convince me it's ok!

So I had two studios booked at Kidani Village for a week, but I was trying to save a couple points so I wouldn't need to borrow them from out next years points to do a week at HHI in March. Soooooo I changed the first 3 nights to a 1 bedroom at BCV and WL for a 1 bedroom SV at BWV. Convince it's ok to do split stays! I'm rethinking all of this! I hope I didn't make a mistake! Is it going to be a big hassle to switch from BCV to Kidani? TIA!

We have done multiple split stays and as long as you don't mind living out of a suit case it really isn't that bad. However, if you are on the dining plan you do need to keep track of what you have used and when. It does allow you to split the plan which can be nice. Our last trip we stayed in 3 different resorts AKV-BLT-BCV. Enjoy your trip.

The logistics of the move are easy enough: just request that bell services pick up your bags from your room and they will be delivered to your new resort sometime that day. We're not very efficient at packing because we have a three-year-old "helping" so we miss a rope drop when we move. The other downside is that you give up having a room to rest in from the time that you check out until your new room is available, potentially late in the afternoon.

In my imaginary perfect world, I wouldn't do a split stay for less than five nights in each room. But I do understand that points don't grow on trees. And it is fun to see a new resort so I don't think that there is really a bad choice here.

The beauty of DVC is that you don't have to do split stays. You stay in one resort for one trip and stay in another on your next because you will be back. I think split stays are horrid and you spend moving day being homeless. You might not get into your second villa into sometime after 4PM and that could be as late as 5 or 6PM.

If you bought your points for 30+ years, why waste the time being homeless when you can be relaxing in one villa for the entire time?
