We always stay at BWPPI on our annual holiday trip - we like the proximity and free breakfast. However, I am beginning to get very, very spooked by touring plan crowd estimates. It has our days much higher than I hoped - 9, 9, 7, 6. We usually try to go earlier in December to avoid crowds, but this year that's just not an option. I hate crowded parks more than long walks, so.... I have been considering an onsite stay this year for the early entry advantage. Club service at PP is ~$90/night more so I'm thinking it may be a good deal with the breakfast and drinks/snacks - DDs are 11 and are starting to want full adult size meals. I don't think I can justify GCH or DLH prices - especially at club level where the difference is more like $200/night.
Another option is to do a split stay. Since the really bad days are the Monday and Tuesday, I could check out Tuesday and move to BWPPI - then I would get EE for Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday. If I have a 5 day park hopper, could still use the one EE on Thursday at DL, or would it show as used up because I used the hotel EE earlier in the week?
Just thought I would bounce this off helpful DISers and see what you think of PP Club Level and/or a split stay idea. Any thoughts are appreciated. Maybe I'm too paranoid?
