Split stay - do you book your top favorite hotel for the first or last part of your trip?

[Childs1stTime2Disney]

If you do a split stay, would you/ do you book your top favorite hotel as the beginning or end of the trip? What about relation to favorite parks? For ex, if my favorite park is MK, do I book my monorail deluxe for the beginning or end of my trip ? What do you do?

When we do split stays, we always end with our favorite resort.

I book my favorite hotel for the second half of the stay. It’s nice to have something to look forward to!

I do whatever works out best price wise, or with the park days that I have chosen. We booked our last MK resort when we knew that we were going to an evening event at MK, and Epcot resort when we went to the Epcot Moonlight Magic event.

Same with us.

And just to add, we would only do a split stay with our favourite resorts, so it really wouldn’t matter.

Well we love MK and monorail resorts, but want a change and want to try Beach club. The more I look at it, I think I will love the Beach club....so I may end with the Beach club.

What resorts do you typically do split stays with?

What resorts do you typically do split stays with?

We do split stays every year. We’ve tried many resorts but our 3 favourite resorts that we seem to rotate between the most are Pop, POFQ and the Poly.

I would say end with your favorite....I went from Four Seasons Orlando @ WDW to Pop Century one time.....that was a big letdown haha

We own at BLT, but Beach Club is our favorite resort. Our favorite split stay was BLT followed by BCV.

Still so torn on this!! I need to be at MK first, so Poly first would make sense. But I worry if I go to BC last (even if I love it) I will feel something is missing at the end of my trip. I wonder how I am going to choose this??? And if it's a 9 day stay, do I split 4/4 or 5/3 (3 at BC)?

It varies and we love the resorts we book so usually base it on what our plans will be (i.e. monorail - MK vs epcot first).

 

[Monykalyn]

Better resort last-however I often fiddle with days to get best pricing. For example will do less expensive resort to be over weekend days and more expensive resort over weekdays to get best rates. I won't do split stay of less than 3 days at each resort. If 5 day or less trip we stick to one place.

 

[DisneyWishes14]

I would end at my favorite, but I would also base the split on my park plans to try to avoid long transport times.

 

[cheryllarsen]

End with favorite!

 

[cheryllarsen]

My favorite resort is AKV.

 

[Sue M]

I’d do 5/5. Since you’re there 9 days I assume you’ll be going to MK more than just first day. I’d do BC then Poly. But it prob doesn’t matter much, they’re both great resorts.

 

[dwheaton]

I would definitely do it at the end. You then have something more to look forward to while you're staying at the other resort. It's a little trickier with parks. I like to do The Magic Kingdom near the end, but I know that some like to start there too.

 

[FSU Girl]

We end with our favorite usually. But if we are trying to schedule around something we try to pick a resort closest to where we need to be at the time. But it's always nice to end on a high note.
