SW cancelled our 05/21 early morning flight, but allowed me to move it to 05/20 at no extra cost. One more day on vacation is always a good thing, right? 
We were staying onsite at Universal 05/21 - 05/23 at $216. per night at PBH. Then 8 nights Disney Vacation Club at WDW. I now also have a reservation at RPR for 05/20 - 05/22 for $234. per night, with the thought we would move over to WDW DVC 05/22. Would have to stay at a different DVC that night, with likelihood of a waitlist coming through very slim. BUT, I just saw that both US and IOA close at 6:00 p.m. 05/20, as opposed to 9:00 p.m. the next 2 nights, so we are actually losing hours at Universal doing this.
We could go to WDW DVC 1 night 05/20, then move over early the next morning to Universal and stay the next 2 nights, then on to WDW for the remaining 8 nights. This would give us more time for Universal and plenty of time for WDW, but would require a little more back and forth.
Scenario #1: 05/20 - 05/22 Universal with shortened hours first night. 05/22 - move to WDW with 1 night at one DVC, then 8 nights at different DVC; or,
Scenario #2: 05/20 - 1 night at DVC, 05/21 - early morning move over to Universal with longer hours 2 nights, then 8 nights at DVC.
We will have a rental car.
Annual passholders for both.
No preference on Universal hotels.
Seasoned Universal/WDW travelers.
Arrival day would be in park by 2:00 p.m.
What would you do? Sorry for the longwinded post and DH is no help in these type of situations.
I am also posting this on the Universal boards.
Thanks for all the insight.

Made my decision very easy to go with Scenario#2 and I won't even think about it again.
