Pre-Trip Report: Mariah’s Delightful DVC Split Stay (April 2026)

Mariah and her family are planning their next big DVC trip and they cannot wait! This time, they have chosen to do a split stay between the Grand Floridian and The Riviera. As the kids will be a year older than the last time they were there, there are plans for first times on rides with higher height requirements, spending some time in Galaxy’s Edge, and enjoying a lot of food and drinks. In fact, they will be using the Dining Plan for this trip and will be trying to maximize that value between the Flower & Garden Festival and their meals.
