For split stay enthusiasts

[Masonmj84]

Which of the following plans would most appeal to you for the week after Thanksgiving?

(1) WL-AKL-BC-Poly, first night dinner at Whispering Canyon
(2) Poly-AKL-BC-WL, first night dinner at 'Ohana
(3) Poly-AKL-BC-CR, first night dinner at 'Ohana

Assume 2 nights at each resort for a total of 8 nights.

I would go with your 3rd option because at least you will get to experience staying at the Contemporary.

Is there an option for None of the above? I like to experience different resorts as well, but that's a lot of packing and unpacking over 8 days. However, I'd go with option 1 or 2 since you'd get both WL and Polynesian.

I would pick #3 but think that 4 hotels might be a little much.

I gotta to say none also. I would do WL & BC. why WL I have heard is awesome during the Holidays & BC so I could stay at an Epcot resort. But I would still do Ohana on the first night just take the boat to CR & Monorail to Poly. I have to ride the Monorail my first night at WDW.

I would pick 2 or 3 and keep Ohana.

As a hotel hopping enthusiast, I will tell you that two nights each is too short a time. Take it to two resorts, four nights each.

And unless you are getting in very early in the day, plan nothing for dinner with a cancel fee!

I love split stays, and we usually do a two-way split, but I would never do a four-way split. The reason being, that transition days are a bit of a pain. I don't mind the packing and unpacking, but I do mind having to wait between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm to have a room ready to relax in.

Count me as a vote for #1. Love the WL

 

[BoilerGirl91]

I would limit it to 2 and for that time of year- Wilderness Lodge and Beach club. They both had awesome decorations. When we were there that time of year, poly and CR hardly had any decorations. I would still visit Animal Kingdom Lodge (the lobby alone is worth a visit) and I would eat dinner at Boma's.

If I had to Choose only from that list, I'd choose option 2 ... You wouldn't want to miss out on WL ... it's breath taking

I'm doing YC(3)-GF(2)-WL(3) starting next Friday

Sounds like you are not one of us "split stay enthusiasts"

No, I am. We actually do it every year, whether it be 2 Disney Resorts, or a Universal then Disney Resort. But 4 in 8 days? That'd be a bit much for me.

 

[elaw]

Yeah ... I hear you .... we're only doing 3 in eight nights this trip ...

 

[Mikey'swife]

I think 2 is enough either 4/4 or 3/5 but I would not try to stay at 4, plus you lose acess to a room for several hours since check out is hours before roooms are garunteed. Last trip our new room was not available until after 4 pm and we got stuck in a rain down pour and had to go to dinner in damp clothes since we did not have time to go change once our room was finally ready.

I agree with everyone else that it is alot of moving around with only staying at each resort for 2 nights, but choosing from your list, I would go with option 1 or 2. I would be torn with ending with the Poly (which is our favorite resort) or the WL (which is amazing all decorated for Christmas ). But any combination would be good as they are all great resorts (although we've never stayed at the CR).

 

[Sue M]

I love split stays, but I only do them on longer stays of 10+ days. And stick with 2 resorts. I like at least 5 days at each resort to really get a feel for them.

So I would do 2 resorts, an MK resort, & BC. So you'd get to stay at 2 great resort areas. IMO doing 4 resorts- 2 days each, you really won't feel like you're staying at any of them, just moving around a lot. You could accomplish the same thing by just visiting them. But that's just me.

 

[Carrie in AZ]

LOOOOOOVE split stays but would never attempt what you have planned -- too much in too little time, in my opinion.

Having said that, I would def pick an option with the CR as it is our favorite resort for so many reasons.

Good luck!

We did 4 resorts in 10 days last year the week ater Thanksgiving and vowed never again. We like split stays, but this was too much. I've learned that I don't actually like tacking one more night at a different resort on to the beginning or end of the trip.

We went to both WL and Poly, so I would vote for 1 or 2 as well. I agree with leaving Ohana for later in the week though, since you have to cc guarantee it.

No, I am. We actually do it every year, But 4 in 8 days? That'd be a bit much for me.

Same with us. We usually do 2 resorts in a 10-12 day period.

One time we did 3 resorts....that was too much.

But if I had to choose - #2 is my choice.
