Sunday May 2 landed MCO 1630 hours. Magical Express did a stop at SSR and WL prior to our VGF drop off. Spent arrival evening (took resort monorail) at MK. After closing used walking path back to VGF.

Monday May 3 walked the path to MK for rope drop. Spent day all at MK area.

Tuesday May 4 at 0600 hours called for Bell Services for a bag transfer to BCV. At 0605 bags (3) were picked up. Took first bus of morning to AK. Took resort bus from AK for a lunch at Sanaa. Bus from there to HS. After finishing in HS took Skyliner to EPCOT. Walked over to BCV (our home resort) and picked up our bags from Bell Services. (Bag Transfer went flawlessly!!!). Finished night in EPCOT.

Wednesday May 5 at 0700 did the Rise of the Resistance boarding group attempt. (Group #56!!!). 0725 hours had reservation at Ale & Compass before taking walking path to HS. (Boarding group was called at 1155 hours). Took resort bus to OKW to see our second home resort. Was nice getting a bus tour of it prior to the last stop being at HH. Walking tour at HH before bus to EPCOT. Later took Skyliner back to HS. Closed that park. Took boat to EPCOT. Finished night there.

Thursday May 6 into EPCOT. (Magical Express departure information came under the door this morning for tomorrow). Afternoon Stormalong Bay time with evening back at EPCOT.

Friday May 7, bags to be dropped off at Bell Services before last bit of vacation time in EPCOT. A 1335 hours Magical Express departure to MCO for our flight.

The Split Stay was perfect for our park planning itinerary. Bag transfers are super easy. We would definitely do a Split Stay again!!!

how were the lines for rides, which parks were busiest, were the wait times posted accurate? were people following all the covid rules?

Ride lines were best at park opening or last couple hours. Could enter the parks 30 minutes, or even bit more, before posted opening hour. Popular rides rose to over an hour very quickly. Posted times were accurate or averaged slightly higher than actual time it took in line. Current rules were followed by nearly all guests. HS felt the busiest especially in Galaxy’s Edge. Felt like crowd levels were increasing daily as restrictions are being adjusted.
