What You Need to Know for a Split Stay in the Walt Disney World Resorts
For those who don’t know, a split stay is when you have two different rooms or resorts you’re staying in during one vacation. It could mean you added on to your trip for one night and couldn’t get the same room or just be that you wanted to try a couple different resorts while you’re at Walt Disney World. No matter what your reasoning, split stays can be be a bit confusing if you aren’t sure what to do for them or what you need. The basic information you need is that Disney will help take care of everything for you, and if you ever have a question or aren’t sure about something, cast members are there to answer questions and help.

We have used this card as much as possible while living in the Walt Disney World Resorts and had a lot of questions come in about it, so we’re here to answer them.

Galaxy’s Edge will be opening on August 29, 2019, and Star Wars fans everywhere are counting down the days to this iconic moment! We had the privilege of visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge twice before the opening this week which was absolutely incredible! We were able to do and see everything and ask tons of questions to find out as much as we could about this new land opening up as part of Hollywood Studios. We are so grateful we were able to enjoy it before the crowds arrive next week; however, we also know we’ll be there many times after it opens because Robert is such a big Star Wars fan.

IllumiNations Fireworks Cruise
We had the privilege of enjoying one of the IllumiNations fireworks cruises you can book at Walt Disney World as a way to enjoy watching IllumiNations without waiting a long time for a good spot. The view we had was amazing, and the views we got to see before the fireworks were gorgeous. We had a perfect night as far as weather goes, and we loved making new friends during this time. IllumiNations Cruise Cost The cruises can have anywhere from 1-10 people, but of course, it’s always more fun to have more family and friends to enjoy special events like this. There are two different packages from which to choose: the first starts at $299 plus tax and can seat up to 8 people. The second starts at $349 plus tax and seats up to 10 people. There are fireworks cruises for both IllumiNations and Happily Ever After. You can also request special banners and balloons for birthdays or anniversaries when you book your fireworks cruise as it is included with the cost of the boat. Our Cruise and What it Included Our cruise started at 8:00 p.m., but most of the boats were out on the water before 8 o’clock actually hit. We checked in at the Yacht Club Marina, and once everyone had arrived, we boarded and left. Our captain was very knowledgeable and had all sorts of interesting Disney facts to tell us as we cruised around the lake. There were snacks and drinks for us…
