Post-Vero Beach 1 night stay- POFQ or Hilton Buena Vista Palace? Poll

[Mom2Anna&Elsa]

We are staying at Disney's Vero Beach for 5 nights in a 1-bedroom during Thanksgiving week. Flight times back home were better on a Saturday return instead of Friday, so I tacked on one night at Hilton Buena Vista Palace before we leave out of MCO the next evening for $223/nt.

Would like to go to dinner at Disney Springs (have reservations at Frontera, but also have a gift card for Jaleo) and maybe check out the Christmas tree trail. I am gluten-free and dairy-free and want to check out Erin McKenna's. It's black Friday so crowds will undoubtedly be insane. *We will not be attending any of the parks*

POFQ will also be open so I booked one night there too. Booked for $357/nt. We love POFQ but is it worth it for $134 difference? A) Don't know if the boats will even be running. B) Boats don't run during storms C) Will gluten-free Mickey Beignets be back?

I booked POFQ because it's one of our favorite hotels and we love the pool and quick service. But it's literally one night and I don't know if I can justify the price difference, especially with so many unknowns.

I'd do the palace. esp. bc you want to go to Springs etc that last day. You can always take a bus or boat up to visit POFQ and find beignets.... and it'll save money!
