This is exactly what we are doing next trip! Initially I booked a magical deal at the Contemporary garden wing for five days. The walk is SO easy with kids, and I thought it would be great for the Halloween Party and leaving MK at night. Plus my husband hasnt stayed there yet. But some time later I decided to change jobs so I have a couple weeks off and figured I'd extend the trip. So i added three nights at Beach Club at the beginning of our trip (club level, yippee!), since my husband still has to work my mom is joining us for that small portion. We are just going to hang out at the resort, though maybe I'll pop over to Epcot for some shopping or to ride SOARIN' (we have APs). Best of both worlds in my opinion! I prefer Beach club for the pool and ambiance, it's a great resort with a relaxing feels.... but contemporary is SO convenient for MK and the rooms are bigger and fit our family better. Split stays are fun! DIsney will move your luggage for you! (but dont expect to see it until evening--- they are slow!)
