Planning March 3-8 at AKL and\or BC

[chrisfleming]

Hi-
I am planning a trip for my wife and I and our 2 year old for 1rst quarter of 2005. I read many helpful spring/break threads here and gather that March 3rd thru 8th should slip us in *after* Presidents week crowds and *before* spring break crowds. Does anyone see any major holes in this timeframe?

Also, we loved staying at the BC years ago because we could walk into Epcot and storm-along-bay was great. However I would like to try the Animal Kingdom Lodge and was wondering if WDW allows you to stay at two different hotels in one 5 night stay. I built two three day packages at each hotel (with silver plan) and the total of the two three night stays was well above one hotel for six nights.

Has anyone done this?
Thanks-
Chris

Hi! I'm sort of bumping you up because I'm sure somebody can answer this better than me. But I think the problem with your cost calculations is that two 3-night stay packages do not equal one 6-night package. With a 3-night package, you're paying for 3 nights and four days, including park tickets, etc for all 4 days. Multiply that by two packages and you're now paying for 6 nights and 8 days. With a single 6-night package you pay for 6 nights and 7 days. Booking two 3-night packages forces you to pay for an extra day that you will not be using. Does that make sense?
