Long story short. We want to do an 8 day trip. My ceiling to stay at the poly with dining and hoppers for the trip is 5k plus airfare. Right now it is 5500 plus airfare. We fly from the midwest so we lose half the day. First flight out at 8 doesn't arrive into mco till 12:15. Probably don't get to hotel till 2ish at best.
I have three ideas....
Fly into mco and stay at Hyatt. Taking away 1 night at poly + food +Tix drops price over 700 dollars down to 4800. Get up first thing in the morning and take either magic express or rent a car (we will at some point anyway to go to beach for a day, but usually at car care center) I hear deals can be had on hyatt via priceline.
Go to moderate hotel and hang out for a night... We can get one of the mod's for 180 dollars vs. 431 on a friday at the Poly... Could just stay there, swim and enjoy resort or we could opt to get an extra day of hoppers if we chose, then wake up next am take a cab/rent car and go to the poly early. That would put us right about 5k mark.
Stay at downtown disney. Do same as above. Probably more expensive or less convienient than other two options.
Lastly bite bullet and pay extra $700 for poly.... My wife thinks it is waaay too much work to have to transfer hotels. She sees it as being stressful and isn't in favor. She suggested we just go for 7 days 6 nights. I don't like that idea because one of our days is shot just getting to the world!
I have tried to call a couple times to see if cm's would help a guy out a bit for a few hundred dollars, (Its worked in the past, but to this point I haven't had any luck)
Any help thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Anyone tried the above mentioned? Is it a pain? Is it worth the savings? Thanks in advance.
