ME/Off-site to DVC question

[toocherie]

I know that this has been covered before (but as usual, "Search" isn't working for me)--

I have a reservation at BWV on points beginning March 28th. Because I'm flying in from the left coast, my choices are to take a red-eye and arrive early on March 28th, arrive late in the day on March 28th (basically in my mind burning a day because of the time change) or coming in the day before and staying somewhere "cheap" since my flight won't be coming in until late. I used Magical Express last trip--and was going to try it again (despite some issues) but if I'm staying offsite the first night I know that won't be eligible for Magical Express. So I guess I cab it from the airport to hotel #1 and then from hotel #1 to BWV the next day? Or do I get a hotel near the airport and go back to the airport and take ME the next day to BWV? (will that work?)

I'm assuming coming back would not be a problem since I will be departing BWV.

Thoughts and suggestions?

If you are flying into MCO, they have hotels attached to the airport I believe... Then you could have ME just pick you up the next day

We stay at a value - and next week we are getting a standard ASSports room for $49 with an annual pass discount. That plus Magical Express can't be beat. Disney will also transfer our luggage to SSR for free plus tip; and we just take a bus over to check-in.

To me this beats two cab fares.

I agree with the above. Book a WDW value resort for that first night!
