Do you stay at multiple resorts during a visit?

I am not a fan of multiple resort stays although I have stayed at Pop Century on arrival Saturday to save points. I don't really consider that to be a split stay, we don't unpack until we get to our DVC resort. Once unpacked we don't want to move again. We are unpackers, we don't live out of the suitcase we unpack and put all our clothes in the drawers. We don't want to repack until we go home. The thoughts of staying at two resorts is actually appealing to me if we didn't have to repack and move and check in again and the room not be ready again. That just seems like it would be too much trouble and would take away from the trip.

Actually I forgot that in 2007 we spent five nights at BWV before heading to Vero Beach for a couple of nights, but I still think that is a different scenario than splitting stays at WDW.

Our vacation habits involve us occasionally splitting stays between either offsite or non DVC cash and our DVC point stays. We stayed over weekends with DVC about 50% of the time. The other 50% we would either stay at our offsite timeshare....or do cash nights for the weekends to save points.

With the new point allocation next year, we will be doing 100% cash nights on weekends at non-DVC resorts.

We did it once when only DW and I went and DW didn't like it. I think that the only way we'd do it again is if we were staying for 2 weeks.

We've stayed at 2 different resorts on a couple of occasions and it's not always easy to do. To really enjoy the resort you need to stay at least 3 nights but 4 is better. Otherwise you feel like you just got there and you're moving! On our last trip we stayed at VWL then moved to SSR and when we got to SSR is truly was like going home.

We used to always stay at one resort a trip, but lately we have been splitting stays between our two homes. Mostly that's because AKV was new to us. NOw that we have stayed there a couple of times, I think we will continue to always split our AKV trips with OKW. We don't have many AKV points, so not really enough for a whole trip. It was never our intent to stay an entire trip there. Frankly, I like to view it as its own destination and save OKW for our WDW touring.

done all of them.

split stays with DVC - generally because my first resort pick was not available the entire time.

split stays with WDW resorts - use to pick POR now it is Pop generally because got a great deal on it or weekend stays (although with the new points chart that might happen less)

split stays offsite - have other timeshares so come down to them on Sunday and next sunday move into the DVC resort. this time having to do it the opposite way (which I don't like) but hey that is the way the better resorts sometimes work. (have a cheap one)

now sometimes can't get Sunday so it is Sat - which means a stay at a WDW resort - last year stayed at AKV value because of their cheaper weekend points - so just might start staying weekends at DVC resort.

My one contract has VB pts. and BLT pts. When not using all the points at VB, I will stay at BLT either 4 or 5 days (depending on the view) and use the VB pts. to extend the WDW stay over a weekend, and maybe a Thursday depending on where I will stay. This will be new for us.....my BLT stay in 2010 will be exactly this...MK view for Mon-Thurs, stay Fri, Sat, Sun somewhere else. Its only gonna be the hubby and me, we can pick up on the fly!! Our BWV stays, we stay the whole time at Boardwalk, no moving.
