split stay

Sorry if this has been asked but I’m new I currently have a week reservation at my home resort for November. This year we have some extra banked points so I would like to do a split stay with a non-home resort (4 nights at non-home, 3 nights at home resort) When the 7 month window opens I’m not...

On our last several trips to Disney, my wife and I have stayed at a Kissimmee hotel the night before our our multi-day stay. (We drive from Virginia.) This time (April 2024), I've decided that we will stay at All-Star Movies for that "night before". We'll probably get in town around supper...

Hi I am planning a trip to WDW for August 2024. There are six of us - me, my husband, my parents and my two sons aged 4 and 6. We went last year and stayed at Poly for two weeks. We loved the convenience of the resort, fireworks from the beach and the pool but would like to try somewhere...

Hello! So, we are West Coasters, first time DW vacationers. There are 5 of us. 2 adults and kids 14,13 and 8. We don’t know when we would be able to go back so here’s our dilemma. We want to experience the great resorts as well as the parks but are 3 resorts too many?? We are staying 11 nights...

I am currently booked in a Copper Creek studio for Christmas. It's our home resort and we are looking forward to a great atmosphere at the Lodge during Christmas. It will be our first trip during Christmas. My question is: is it a smart time to do a split stay? We have done them before and have...

We are planning to go to EPCOT on our move day during a split stay. We want to be lazy in the morning and not head to park until 11am-ish. What do you suggest for a touring plan with such a late start? We will have genie + and can buy ILL too. How can we get all the big rides in? TIA!

Hello all, I'm planning my trip July 1-7 and have decided I want to do a split stay. I want to spend the first half at the Swan Reserve, and the second half at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. When trying to book my package on the Disney website, I notice I'm unable to select the room I want through...

Our home resort is BCV, which we are very happy with and absolutely love! However, we now have a one year old and baby on the way, so for our planned trip next year, we will likely spend much more time at MK. Given this, which room views are likely to be available for the first couple of weeks...

Hey everyone, looking for some reassurance, alternative thinking, or a wake up call! We are from the UK and have been pretty regular WDW visitors since our childhoods. 2019 was our first trip with our young kids and our plan was to return as often as we could. We were booked up for 2020 which...

We have our very first stay as DVC members coming up in just 8 days! Our kids still don't know we're going or that we are DVC members (they listen to the podcast with me and will be out of their minds when they find out). We're doing a 4 resort split stay: 2 nights @ Poly (studio, actually have...

When booking a split stay, should I book room only and then buy tickets separately so that they encompass the entire trip? If I do that, how can I also book the Dining Plan, assuming that the Dining Plan is available in the future?

I'm planning a trip for January of 2022 and I'm considering using a travel agent to help me find the best discount for a room in the art of animation. The thing is I also want to book dvc points in the Grand Floridian for the last two night of my trip as a surprise for my mom who dreams of...

My wife and I are thinking about renting points for a trip this August (I know we're under 7 months) and we're debating about where to stay with our 9 and 5 year olds. We are looking at studios and planning on 9 nights. We have previously stayed at CSR and rented at OKW. The kids love to swim...

Hello! I’m planning my trip for summer of 2020 and need some opinions. We are doing a nine night split stay. As of now we are doing 5 nights at Caribbean Beach then 4 nights at Poly renting vacation club points. We are debating whether or not it’s worth it to upgrade to Riviera instead of...

We'll be using our DVC points for the first time Dec 31-Jan 5. We booked the trip within the last month, so had to piece together what we could find. 1st two nights at OKW, next two nights at Kedani, and final night at BCV. The last day when we're checking into BCV, we'll be at HS & EP. I...

In looking at what we want to do end of August 2019 I'm looking into doing a Disney Caribbean cruise. However, I have 2 big worries number 1 since we are new to cruising we would be last to reserve dining, meet and greets, and also I think excursions so I'm afraid to spend all that money and not...
