Hi Lauren,
My family loves to do a split stay on a vacation at Walt Disney World. This will allow you to visit and experience two different resorts. The resorts are all so unique! I think that you will find Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge to be beautiful. Whether you are staying at the traditional resort hotel of
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, or Disney's Vacation Club's
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Jambo House, this resort offers lovely decor and a chance to see exotic animals roaming the savannas.
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort is fun and playful, with larger-than-life icons from Disney movies. This sounds like a wonderful vacation!
My understanding is that you should only need one refillable mug per person in your traveling party for your entire stay at Walt Disney World. You can use the mugs for self-service beverages at Walt Disney World resort hotels. Please note that you cannot refill these at the theme parks; however, you should be able to refill them at any Walt Disney World resort hotel throughout your entire stay.
I hope that these thoughts are helpful for you, Lauren! Have a great time planning your magical vacation, and please do let us know if you have any further questions.
