Is it worth the split?

[lolobug]

My family of 4, 2 little ones are planning a trip to WDW for the first time in January. We are planning 5 park days, 2 in MK. We currently are booked for 7 nights at WL. Our last two nights of our trip will be at the resort (off day) and MK. Is it worth the extra $$ to be at the poly? I'm not sure that my little ones will be up for a late night outing for wishes (is it 9 in January?) we very well may be eating at kona or Cali grill..,. Thoughts? If its not worth the extra $$ what time would I need dinner reservations to watch wishes/electric pageant? Thank you!

We LOVE split stays but I am not sure I would pack up and move for only two nights, especially with little ones. It could be a lot of work with little ones who aren't old enough to pack up their own stuff, etc. A lot of the work falls on Mama and it's Mama's vacation, too.

I'm sorry I can't help you with times, etc. but I'm sure others will weigh in.

IMO, no, not for a 7 day stay. Love WL in January. And they have 2 hot tubs, plus the one in the Villas. It's very easy to get to MK resort ADRs from WL. They have a resort boat to CR, where you can hop on the monorail, or a boat to MK where you can get resort monorail or the boat to GF or Poly from MK.
Poly doesn't have hot tubs. Which I missed when we stayed there in January.

Thanks everyone! WL it is, Poly will have to wait for another time

Nope, hate splits and see no use in them... As for the Poly, over priced, over rated and over hyped... I can get just as much comfort, transportation and ease of travel at the WL, at a lesser rate....

To me I think it would be a lot of work to pack everything up, move it, and then only be there for 2 days. I like to unpack and feel settled!
