My household needed to keep at 3 completely different resorts throughout our 8-day journey to Disney World, and it wasn't price all the hassle

• My household stayed at Pop Century, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Wilderness Lodge at Disney World.
• We did the “triple keep” due to sparse lodge availability and last-minute modifications to our journey.
• We had enjoyable and Disney makes transferring between resorts straightforward, however I would not plan my journey this manner once more.

Disney World is famously busy across the holidays and spring break, which may make it troublesome to discover a lodge room on the property. 

When my household of 4 went to Disney World final Christmas, the whole lot was so booked we ended up having to remain in three completely different resorts: Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge (Kidani Village), and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.

We spent one evening in a room at Pop Century (a price resort), three nights in a one-bedroom villa at Animal Kingdom Lodge (a deluxe resort), and 4 nights in a one-bedroom villa at Wilderness Lodge (a deluxe resort). We have carried out break up stays at Disney World prior to now, however this was the primary time we stayed at three completely different motels on a single go to.

We initially deliberate a four-day keep at Wilderness Lodge and ended up including on three days at Animal Kingdom Lodge due to altering flight schedules. We then added the primary evening at Pop Century as a result of we ended up having to fly in a day early. 

On our first evening, we stayed in a easy room at Pop Century

Our normal room with one queen mattress and one Murphy mattress at Pop Century was $305 for one evening, which is not precisely low cost, particularly for a price resort. At much less busy instances of the yr, rooms are sometimes within the $200 greenback vary or decrease.

However reserving the additional evening on the lodge ended up saving us greater than it could’ve value us to alter our airfare. 

Pop Century wasn’t my favourite resort, nevertheless it undoubtedly has its execs

It is unfair to match a price resort like Pop Century to villas at deluxe resorts, however Pop Century was my least favourite of the three.

That does not imply I did not like staying there although. The room was clear with generic Disney theming and the structure labored for us. My children additionally actually loved the daring, splashy theming throughout the resort.

It is conveniently situated on the Skyliner route (Disney’s free gondola-style transportation) and has a pool that is nice for enjoyable after a protracted day on the parks.

When you’re watching your funds and do not want plenty of facilities, Pop Century is a enjoyable alternative.

I preferred staying in each of the deluxe villas

This wasn’t my first time staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge or Wilderness Lodge, and I might fortunately keep in both once more. The one-bedroom villas at deluxe resorts value about $900 an evening on common. 

I preferred the villa at Animal Kingdom Lodge higher than Wilderness Lodge as a result of we had two full bogs. It was nice that I did not must share with my 12- and 13-year-old sons.

The foyer at Animal Kingdom Lodge is gorgeous, and I really like with the ability to see the roaming animals within the savanna outdoors. However I truly preferred the comfortable, mountain-lodge vibes of Wilderness Lodge higher. 

Shifting from one resort to a different at Disney World was fairly seamless

It is fairly straightforward to maneuver between resorts at Disney World. We nonetheless needed to adhere to common check-in and check-out instances, however Disney was in a position to transfer our baggage since we did not have a automotive.

We simply took our belongings right down to bell providers and stuffed out some bag tags to allow them to know the place we wished them to finish up. We acquired a declare test and checked in with the bell providers on the subsequent resort to arrange the supply. 

In each swaps, our baggage had been obtainable at our new location by late afternoon/early night. We had the choice of taking place to retrieve them or having them delivered to our room. We selected the latter and made positive to tip. 

It was additionally useful to have a day bag to hold the issues we might want in between switching resorts. When it was time to maneuver, we simply took the free resort bus to Disney Springs and caught one other bus to our new resort from there.

Though the strikes weren’t troublesome, I did not like repacking our stuff in the course of a visit. We love the homelike ambiance of the one-bedroom villas at Disney World and sometimes prefer to settle in and unpack, particularly on longer stays.

Having to pack up and transfer lodge rooms twice in a single go to was an annoyance, albeit a minor one.

We additionally ended up having to spend extra on meals than standard

Accessing a kitchen and with the ability to order groceries is without doubt one of the best methods we get monetary savings at Disney World. We sometimes eat two meals a day in our villa and one meal out.

The logistics of getting groceries delivered and planning to make use of all of the perishables after we had been on the transfer appeared daunting, so we ate all of our meals in eating places and spent greater than we often do.

Prior to now, we have had bell providers transport nonperishable meals objects from resort to resort. I’ve by no means requested them to move perishable meals, however I in the end would not belief another person to ensure my milk was stored refrigerated.

Even when it did not wreck our trip, I would not need to undergo the stress of transferring round a lot once more

Shifting between three resorts went very easily for us, however I would not plan a visit this manner once more.

Though attending to expertise the themes of a number of resorts on a single journey was enjoyable and a good way to see extra of the property, I wasn’t a fan of packing all our stuff up a number of instances.

If we get caught in an identical state of affairs and have to separate any future stays, I might undoubtedly want to solely must go between two resorts.
