Dear Elizabeth,
Thanks for reaching out to us here at the Moms Panel with your question about a "split stay" reservation at the Walt Disney World Resort!
If you choose to book two different hotels, you can absolutely complete that transaction online as if it were two separate reservations.
You can also call for assistance over the phone, or if you are working with a Travel Agent they can assist you with that as well.
One of the terrific benefits of staying on-site at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel is that yes, your luggage will be brought directly to your other resort if you are moving to another on-site hotel. However, do take any necessary medications, clothing, or other essentials with you because it can sometimes take several hours for the luggage to land in the new room.
Hope that helps with your magical planning!
