changing hotels, how easy would this be???

[jann1033]

I would like to stay at a DTD hotel for our last night ( winter dream, POR for the rest of our stay) as it would save us $150. our flight leaves too early to really do anything the last day so why pay for a ticket to the parks I won't use. however, I'm wondering how feasible this would be:
check out of POR the 12th, go to parks, in the evening pick up luggage at POR ( heard they will keep it for you, hopefully right) get on boat or bus for DTD, walk remainder of way to hotel( hopefully Marriot for $ 20) It doesn't look like it would be much further than dragging our luggage through some of the airports(LOL) we would each have a carry on and hopefully a smallish wheeled carry on sized piece. ( just adults, no kids)
Will the Disney transportation guys give us a hard time? does this seem like way to much work to save $100.( although that is 1/2 our airfare). any one ever try this or is it really nutty ( I thought of this last night just before I fell asleep so maybe it looks different by the light of day) any ideas how much a taxi would cost from POR to DTD in case of rain?...any input would be helpful.
Thanks

I think the first step would be to check availability at the hotel. Because if you don't want to pay more than the 20.03 that is going to influence where you stay.
