We have the choice of 5 nights complimentary at a moderate resort or 3 nights at a delux then pay for 2 nights . I don’t know where to start as our preference was the French Quarter and it’s not open. So .... do we go 3 nights Floridian and 2 nights Animation or perhaps 5 nights Caribbean ? People have suggested 3 nights Beach then 2 nights Caribbean ... any help much appreciated.
Reading through some of the comments and concur with most that you should look at the 2 night costs if you were doing deluxe or going to swap. The upside (at least pre-covid) with changing is that Disney will move your luggage between hotels, all you have to do is get it to the bell desk.
Also just as an aside do you have to strictly go 3 days/2 days or can you split it up? I ask because we've done the travel days in/out at the Pop century, then moved to Poly. It made sense as the day we came in we would be checking in around 7p (just needed a place to sleep) and were leaving early so it made sense to stay on property as lowest cost as possible, but sandwiched between those we switched to the Polynesian for 3 nights.
If it was me, during COVID, I'd take 5 nights at the Caribbean Beach (stayed there a long time ago and it is a fine resort) as you have access to the skyliner. Knowing the Poly is under construction and some of the other photos of the controls in place I'm not sure you would get the same experience at the Deluxe hotels.
