We're hoping to make a 4-night WDW trip in six months. Right now there is not much available at the resorts we like.
I'm wondering about waitlist strategy; would we have better luck making 2 four-night waitlists (at different resorts) for a single stay, or 2 two-night waitlists for a split stay?
In other words, would we have more luck getting a single 4-night stay or two 2-night stays?

Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated.
 
Def easier to hit a 2 nighter vs a 4 nighter for waitlist.

But split stay for a 4 night trip don't sound that great. You will be homeless for 1 day, and basically live out of your suitcase.

If possible. Get the 2 nighter. Call and see if cash is available at the same place, same category, therefore don't need to change room. Waitlist

Thanks.
I think on moving day we'd be in a park all day and have bell services transfer our luggage, so it wouldn't be too horrible.
The bonus is that we'd have a fully cleaned room with beds made. 8-)

If it works for your family then do it! Which 2 resorts you doing?

The kids want either VGF resort studio, BWV, or BCV.
Was able to get a 1-bedroom at BWV for the first two nights as a placeholder, but don't want to spend that many points.
Was thinking I'd do waitlist for 2 nights each at VGF resort studio and BCV studio.

However, we recently did a 1-bedroom stay at BRV and really loved that extra space... :P
