Hi everyone,
We are considering changing our room from LM standard room. We've adjusted the dates of our rental house and only now need a place to stay on our arrival day (Thanksgiving).
Here's our situation...we arrive Thanksgiving at 1:00 p.m. We have dinner reservations that evening at 6:30, so we are planning to go straight from the airport to the hotel. Refresh, relax and then head to dinner at the WL (Hoop Dee Do).
After dinner we'll go back to the hotel and hit the hay early. The next morning we have BBB appointments at MK at 8 a.m. We'll likely be at MK most of the day on Friday (11/29) until we can check into our off-site accomodations (2 or 3, I think).
So, very little time in the room. My questions are as follows:
Would you go for POR or an AOA suite? We are a family of 5 (w/ the baby being "not counted" as she is under two) but there is a good chance my Mom will bunk with us, so POR is the only place I think we'll fit unless we do the AOA suite. The cost to go from POR to an AOA suite is roughly $100. I know my kids would love the theming at AOA, but my brain is telling me to spend the extra $100 toward our MVMCP tickets. Would the splurge be worth it to you?
Which resort is easiest to get to WL from? How about getting to MK early the next morning?
We will have a rental van so driving ourselves may be the preferred method of transportation for our traveling party.
We really want to stay at the WL, but I just can't justify the significant cost increase for our size party. Thought about renting points for the night, but we have some extra funds left on our gift cards that we want to use for this night on-site.
What would you do and why? Any other recommendations that I may have missed for our specific situation?
Thanks for any insight you have to share. Feedback is warmly appreciated.
83 days and counting...
Happy planning DisPals!!!
