When I was debating a CB spilt stay recently I tried to find out if the Universal hotels will move your bags for you, like WDW does. I never did get a straight answer on any forum and forget to ask when there.
Not sure if they’d charge you or do it as a courtesy. (I’d give the concierge or whomever you ask $1/bag if they agree to do it as a gratutity)
I’m cheap.
I would not.
I think you will have more than enough time and packing up near the end of the trip to move hotels would be frustrating to me. At that stage if I’m packing up I’d just want to heading home.
I think that money would be better spent on other splurges.
We wouldn’t be moving hotels though, just having an additional overnight in HRH. We had mooted the idea of just the boys or just the girls go to HRH then we could each have a big double bed to ourselves for the night 
We’d still have all the names on the HRH reservation for the EPs 
First, I think the plan sounds lovely. Since your DH would really like to do HRH and it wouldn’t add an outrageous amount of $$$, I’d go ahead just on that basis.
So, the plan is to checkout of CB and leave most of your luggage there and just take an overnight bag for your HRH night? Or will you physically sleep in CB and have a mostly unused HRH Room?
I am glad you’ll be able to pool-hop while at CB. We stayed at HRH but we didn’t want to waste EP park time to use the pool. Then when we were at CB, we treated VB as a really cool pool. But, you’ll be there two weeks, so exploring other pools sounds fun.
You asked enablers…LOL
My answer is do it!
I’m almost certain that they will move luggage from a deluxe to a cheaper hotel but not vice versa.
I don’t qualify. I’m bowing out. 0% chance I’d do this. 
I am usually an enabler, but even I don’t think this is a good use of money when there for 2 whole weeks. Maybe for the first 2 full days, but not at the end when you have already ridden everything 15 times over 2 weeks. But we get bored with UOR after 2-3 days, so 2 weeks there would be very hard for my crew.
Yeah, I agree. @Shmebulock I don’t think you’ll need EP after being there that long! Spend that money on a day ticket to Disney instead! You know you want to! 
Seriously, Carly and I went last year during Easter week. We spent an evening and two full days. If we’d had another day, there were a couple of things we didn’t get to or wanted to do again. But 14 days? I don’t think there will be anything you didn’t get to in that amount of time!
No, we have a package for CB, so we have that for the full 2 weeks. The HRH room would be in addition to that. I’m sure we’d use the HRH room though - clean sheets and fresh towels 
Yes, I had you in mind with this this comment…
I honestly don’t think we’d get bored at all. All the extra time we have means we can wander at a slower than leisurely pace and have lots of pool fun and downtime.
I genuinely don’t!
And what we’d spend on this crazy idea is less than half of a Disney day ticket for each of us 
I don’t think you’ll get bored. It will be more like cruising. Hurry up a bit here, and “waste”gobs of time at this pool or that. Dawdle at benches. Grab extra desserts. Shop. Etc.
But it’s just too much money for so little ROI. I’d rather eat that money.
I’d rent a car and go to the beach for that $$
That’s already in our plan.
We have a car for the first two days. We’ll use it to bypass the coach transfer from the airport (we’re flying in to Melbourne), go to SeaWorld and then Clearwater Beach and return the car in the evening.
Yay!!
I’m with you ScaffyWitch. I’d take one day of UOR with EP over a day at DW. And, you’ll get two days of EP!
Also I don’t understand the idea of ‘being done’ with an amusement park. But, I really like the essential amusement park stuff. Shopping and dining is meh, I can do that at home and the dining is better there. But riding something 10X and soaking in the theming and doing all the spells another time, that is exciting.
Yeah unlike some people (I might be looking at you again @Wahoohokie ) I don’t go often enough to ever think ‘I’ve had enough of that now’
Even when I did 95% of everything both Universal parks offered in one day last month I was never “done”!
When I worked in theme parks I would come in on my days off and ride it all! Something about that atmosphere is relaxing to me, even though it’s loud, crowded and etc… (I think it’s because I know I’m in a “pretend playland”)
Over the course of 2022 I’m scheduled to be there at least 20 days and I know I’ll not get bored or tired! I can explore and hunt down “easter eggs” / theming any time I need a ride break.
For me… I don’t understand all of the people that can just sit at the beach and do nothing but “relax”. uuuggghhhhh sooo boring!!! (I can sit in a chair at home!!! )
You won’t need Express Pass due the amount of time you are spending there. If that is the only reason DH wants to stay HRH, I say don’t do it. However, if he wants to stay there to experience the resort, do it. Aside from the hassle of moving resorts, it seems like an easy way to add another experience to your trip. Focus on more time at the resort than in the parks if you feel you need to get your money’s worth out of the resort.
