Creator's Key Takeaways

We also talked split stays. Should you do a split stay between Riverside and Boulder Ridge around the holidays? We said yes and we gave some reasons why.

We also talked about making a switch from Coronado Springs to Animal Kingdom Lodge. Yay or nay on that? You might be surprised with our answer there.

The beauty though of a split stay really is that you get to experience two different resorts.

I think that the fireworks of course are a musto. Um hopefully again they'll have as the cookies, the Cheryl's cookies. Those are a musto.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“When choosing between Coronado Springs and Animal Kingdom Lodge for first-timers, consider your comfort level as a guide and whether the family will use the amenities at Animal Kingdom Lodge.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Switching resorts with three kids might be a hassle. β€” Split stays can feel like two vacations in one, and luggage transfer is available, but check room availability times.
Animal Kingdom Lodge rooms can be spread out, and transportation might take longer. β€” The difference in bus time is minimal once on the bus, and the resort offers unique amenities like animal activities.
