Split Stay Advice

[zakdavid]

Hi everyone! I have a trip this September and it will be my mom and brothers first time at Disneyworld. They have been to land a few times but never world so naturally I am over planning/thinking as I want them to see as much as possible. On the resort side right now we are three days at Poly and 4 days at Beachclub. I am considering splitting beach club into two days and then two days somewhere like Animal Kingdom etc so they can see more theming but don't want to overdue it. We have 4 park days and 3.5 resort/Disney Springs days. Any advice? Thanks!

I would stick with only 2 resorts. Poly and Beach Club are wonderful choices. It will be more relaxing just splitting between the 2 resorts, and a nice mix of a Magic Kingdom area resort and an Epcot area resort.

I would not change this one bit. Excellent set of resorts. You can schedule a meal at AKL and tour the resort.

Thanks! I am excited as I have never been able to get beachclub before.

I agree - stick with just one move. Each move means you can be homeless at Disney from 11am - 4pm and it can be annoying when you want to go back to the room to relax in the afternoon.

I agree with everything that's been said here, you have 2 unbelievable resorts with excellent locations. I think that's an ideal split stay, to have some time in the EP area and some time in the MK area. My family has almost made a challenge of how many days we can avoid using a bus, with this structure, you can really take advantage of the locations of the resorts you chose. Last time I went I did 2 nights at BCV, 5 at Swan, 5 at BCV, and it was annoying. Not a deal breaker if you really wanted to throw AKV in there, but if it's me, I would switch only once.

I agree with PP's. 2 resorts is enough. beach club is our favorite so i personally never split BCV. you can walk to epcot, studios or take the boats. boardwalk is nice to wander. skyliner is a short walk at IG to take a ride or for transportation. YC/BC has a great pool. you can make an ADR at AKL and walk around to see the animals. AK resorts have some nice restaurantrs

Have fun

I agree with doing just one change. We often do splits between MK area and EP/HS area like you are doing. In our effort to avoid bus transportation as much as possible, we make our AK day be our move day. Since we are pretty much homeless on move day, I like to make that a full park day if possible.

Have a great trip!

If you want to check out AKV - and I think you'll love it, book a dinner at Boma. Plan to go at least an hour or so early and check out the savannah. After dinner, linger near the indoor fireplace and enjoy the ambiance!
