Resort hopping advise, please

[TwingleMum]

I am planning a Nov 2003 trip to WDW with my DH, DS(who will be 3 1/2 then) ,my DS'S(twins who will be 1 in Nov 2003) and my parents. We are planning on 8 nights. We always wanted to stay at Poly so I was thinking 5 nights . We will be spending alot of time at MK. Then we thought AKL for 3 nights. My DH and I went on safari for our honeymoon and we thought it would be fun to almost relive it .We will probably do concierge in both hotels. The children will need to nap so we will spend a good amount of time at the hotels so I thought we would be there to partake of the concierge and pools. So I thought it made sense to stay at the nicer hotels. Does this 5/3 split seem reasonable ? We stayed at Contemp concierge when oldest son was 1. We took it easy and went according to his schedule. we went to hotel at noon to nap and swim. He enjoyed it much more than we thought he would and the monorail was super convienant. DS could sleep undisturbed and we would roll stroller onto monorail. At bedtime we had him in his pj's and we'd ride around looking at the lights (he loved that). It was fabulous! It was very enjoyable but we wanted to try something a little different this time. Thanks for the input.

Your plan sounds like it is very well-thought-out, and like it will work well for your family. Opinions vary about changing resorts, and IMO if I'd change anything about your plan, I might leave the longer stay for second, and move after the first 3 days. Whatever you do, have a great time!

I think your plan looks great!

Your plan sounds great to me! I will advise you that the bus rides to and from the AKL can be a bit long when you're going anywhere besides the Animal Kingdom. It's a lovely resort with great theming, though.
