Hi there,
We are renting a house in WH from Saturday to Saturday (late September also). But, our flights and rental car were significantly cheaper if we arrived on Friday (go figure).
Anywho, I booked a one-night stay at the AllStarSports hotel for $70/night for Friday evening. The best part is that we get the EMH on both Friday and Saturday and the parking for both days included in the cost of the room.
Perhaps something like that might work for your dates? When I started to look around at other Orlando properties...the cost for staying at one of the Value resorts wasn't really too much more. I figure we'll just be sleeping there, so what the heck.
We loved staying at the Wilderness Lodge last year, but our budget was much smaller this year so we got a great deal on an off-site townhouse.
Best of luck on your search.
Best,
Erica
