My wheels are turning AGAIN, and need your help/advice since you all are so helpful
I am staying at WDW in Oct for 10 days (Oct 17th-26th) with DH, and 2 boys 3 and 6. It will be my DH, and boys 1st visit to WDW!
We are doing 5 nights at AKL and 4 nights at the Poly.
Originally, we were driving (from Toronto Canada) and leaving on Oct 17th, arriving to WDW on the Sat, 19th (we were taking our time). I found an awesome deal on flights, so we decided to fly, and I convinced my DH to fly out on the Fri (18th) instead of the Sat (19th), so we would have more "Disney time" he agreed.
Then, a week later, I begged the DH to fly into Orlando on the 17th (Thurs) so we would have almost a full day on the 17th (we would arrive at 10am) and even more "Disney time" This meant an extra cost of 2 nights at AKL, but we were fine with that, so now we are 10 days instead of 8 days..exciting!!
On the 26th (Sat-check out day) we are spending another week on the beach in Treasure Island, so we are renting a car now cause we are no longer driving. We would fly home on Sat, Nov 2nd.
So, to get to my question..now, of course, I'm trying to squeeze yet another day out of our vacation, and stay in Disney the Sat night (26th) at the Poly, so that would make it 10 nights total instead of 9 nights, and then check out Sun (27th) and drive to Treasure Island. Then..I would pay for an extra night as well at the condo, and stay till Sun, Nov 3rd, so we get the full week on the beach.
Do you think I'm crazy for wanting to spend the extra $$ to stay 1 extra night in Disney at the Poly or do you think we should just check out the 26th, spend the day at MK and drive to Treasure Island late at night on the Sat?
I'm still planning on extending my stay at the beach condo till Sunday regardless, but the Poly is $500 for the Sat night. Chances of discount are high, so would be around $350..is it worth it? Am I crazy? Should I just leave things as is?? I wish I could just shut down the brain sometimes!! Lol
Thanks in advance!! (Sorry for such a long message)
