Today we are switching Disney resorts! On this split stay, we are moving from Old Key West to Wilderness Lodge. I'm sharing how I make this transfer day as easy as possible. We're covering repacking, transportation, luggage, check-in, and more!!! Thanks for watching!!!

This will definitely help people! When we did a split stay a few years ago, there wasn’t a lot of content on how to do it. So we winged it. This is great!!

So happy I can be a helpful resource! ☺️

I bring multiple reusable grocery bags for our resort moves. That way, I can split refrigerated and regular items and they are lighter. I also use Whole Foods refrigerated bags that have a zipper. Everything stays colder for the moves and the zipper prevents things from getting lost.

@BekahHart 3 ай бұрын

That’s great! The reusable grocery bags also work perfect as a “catch all” bag on that transfer day for souvenirs, etc. ☺️

I just wanted to say that I love your vlogs and I don't even have kids (though I do have a niece and nephew)! I go to WDW 2-3 times a year and your tips like checking the Genie+ times within the first hour to determine whether or not to buy are just exceptional. And I love living vicariously through your trips while I wait for my next one.

Yes! 👏🏼 They’re perfect for when you only have a beverage cooler in your room 👌🏼

Thank you for this guide! I am traveling to Disney next week and we are doing a split stay. I've been looking for information on the best way to move to the next resort but only found limited info. This was perfect! I too hate being away from my luggage so we will be using a Minnie Van for sure 🙂

Pro tip store your lunch bag in the fridge to keep the interior cold so the ice pack doesn't jane to cool down the bag also

@natashayork5222 3 ай бұрын

As you stated Disney will transfer luggage and groceries, but will not transfer perishables (cold or frozen foods). ALL LUGGAGE & GROCERIES, MUST BE AT BELL SERVICES BEFORE 11:00 am the day of the transfer.

@BekahHart 3 ай бұрын

Correct. That was mentioned in the video ☺️

Thanks for doing this video! Doing a split stay for the first time in August, Pop and Coronado. First time at both resorts. It will be me and my autistic son. The Minnie van looks like the way to go! We will also have groceries. I have never used Uber, Lyft, or a taxi😲 Where do you go on the Disney app to order the van and how do you pay for it? Do you tip and how much? Thanks so much😊💐👍🏰😊

we love split stays...but no matter what I find them STRESSFUL on transfer day! we NEVER get lucky for our room to be ready early...there is always a solid 3 hours just WAITING for our room to be ready. We also use Minnie vans to transfer luggage!

@BekahHart 3 ай бұрын

I get it! Not everyone is a fan of that resort switch day 🤪 I always plan on a 3PM check-in and schedule park time or pool time so we’re not just waiting around for our room 👌🏼

@yugihoo 3 ай бұрын

You could also pack a bag with essentials and groceries. And take free transportation to disney springs then to resort and have disney move your other stuff. Takes longer, but it's free

@WendyLewis-ln2uu 3 ай бұрын

Hi Bekah! I love your Disney videos. We have just started doing the split stays. One question.. what do you think is an appropriate tip for bell services to store your luggage and then deliver to your room? Often one cast member unloads the luggage from the car or Minnie van and a different one brings it to your room. So what would you say would be an appropriate tip for 5 items… luggage and assorted bags? Thanks in advance!

@tristanwinner4963 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for this! Would love to know how to add tickets if we book our room through the DVC rental company. Do we buy just the tickets through Disney? Thinking about a split stay as well!

@BekahHart 3 ай бұрын

Yes, you would simply purchase tickets through the Disney website ☺️

@eliseworthen6558 3 ай бұрын

Hi Bekah 😃 What if I don’t need car seats and I just think Minnie Vans are cute and want to ride in one 😋 Will they move car seat to the back for my party of 6? Or- cannot accommodate? Seen this done before??

@BekahHart 3 ай бұрын

All car seats are kept in the trunk, and only installed if you need them ☺️ Or course anyone without kids can use a Minnie van! 🙌🏼

@stephaniebreslin3466 3 ай бұрын

Thanks Bekah! Question, where do you pack the dirty clothes from the 1st 2 days of the trip?

@BekahHart 3 ай бұрын

I typically just use the mesh pocket in my suitcase for dirty clothes ☺️

@clewless_kitty 2 ай бұрын

If you don’t do a Minnie van, can you just do a regular lyft? Or does the Minnie van come with something extra? Also- did you schedule it on the lyft app?

Does the minnie driver help with luggage?

9 times out of 10, yes! ☺️ On this particular ride, my driver was not able to pick up my bags, so I had to load my luggage 🙃

Did the stroller tray work well? We still haven't completely solved the problem of finding a surface for our snack items as we are making a way around World Showcase. This seems great (if the tray actually holds in place and works)

@BekahHart 3 ай бұрын

It worked great!! You do need a sturdy stroller cup holder for it to attach to though 👌🏼

We call quiet time “SLOB time”…Silently Laying On Bed time”. My kids picked that term up at church camp many years ago and it’s what we still call it for the grandkids. Napping is optional…sometimes it happens and sometimes not.😁

I love that 😂😂

@lindseybagley3334 3 ай бұрын

Curious, what is the point of a split stay? Just to experience multiple resorts? It seems like an unnecessary hassle to me, but maybe I’m just missing something! Love your content

@BekahHart 3 ай бұрын

Everyone has different reasons for doing split stays ☺️ One reason is that a family may have a value resort budget and want to experience a deluxe resort for 1 night. Or to simply experience 2 resorts they can’t decide between ☺️

@n0ibn 3 ай бұрын

Sometimes also a discount starts middle of your trip but doesn’t apply to your one resort, you can switch to another where it will 😊

@debramcguirk4333 3 ай бұрын

@alexisbk9576 3 ай бұрын

Sorry if this is too personal, but trying to figure out the logistics of how you did this so seamlessly, was your daughter with you when you made all those trips back and forth between your third floor room and your Minnie van? I’m sure she must have been and not left with the driver. But if not, for our family, we will have to factor in more time. Thank you!

@BekahHart 3 ай бұрын

Not at all! Yes, she stayed with me for all the trips up and down the stairs ☺️ It did slow me down a little haha, but there was no other option 🤪

@alexisbk9576 3 ай бұрын

@@BekahHart that’s what I thought 😊. One and half hours is actually amazing! It would have taken me an hour just to go up those flights of stairs repeatedly lol
