Hi Andrea!
The chance to stay at two different
Walt Disney World Resorts in one visit doubles the magic! A split stay lets you experience two amazing hotels, perhaps splurge on a night or two at a
Deluxe Resort, or have the chance to be close to different theme parks.
Only a one night minimum stay is required at the resorts, so you can split a seven night stay. Recently my family enjoyed a split stay of four nights at
Walt Disney World- two nights each in two hotels. I make two separate reservations; one for each hotel. If you find the web site is glitchy, call a Cast Member at (407) 936-1936 for assistance. Have something to do besides listening to Disney hold music; call volume is busy currently.
Disney Gift Cards can be used for tickets, resorts, dining, and merchandise, so my guess is you will be able to apply them to Lighting Lane purchases, but there is no definitive word on this yet.
Enjoy your stay with the mouse!
Elisabeth
