How would you design a 10 day trip that begins in Orlando and ends in Miami?
The middle is being spent at The Poly but I have 2 nights at the beginning we didn't get the good rate on at the Poly and 2 nights at the end in Miami. I'm undecided on where to go for the nights on the ends. Do I stay somewhere else on WDW property and make a contribution towards my quest to stay at every single resort at least once, drive our rental over to Universal and take our chances with the lines for a day visit? Do I go to the Portofino and pay $$$ to get the room keys they give me early entry and front of the line privileges (might be worth it I don't know how crowded it will be)? As for Miami, I have no idea what to do about that. I had an idea in my head about the place but after looking at some travel guides it seems geared for clubbing, not families. Do I go with the majority of DH's family (including his Aunt who I despise) and stay at a boutique hotel they got a great deal at or pay big $ to avoid the family nonsense and hole ourselves up at the resort SIL is getting married at?
This is stressing me, DH doesn't care and tells me whatever I want will be fine. Trouble is I don't know what I want so help with opinions would be welcome. BTW, I am still in sticker shock over the cost to pick up the rental car in Universal and drop if off in Miami.
