yep, like $550 for one nightHave you looked at the Swan/Dolphin for the first night? Then you could walk to Boardwalk in the morning.

That's odd b/c when I looked yesterday it was under 300 for your date.yep, like $550 for one night
I just checked, after taxes is $410 on PricelineThat's odd b/c when I looked yesterday it was under 300 for your date.
Use the hotel site. Priceline is usually no where close.I just checked, after taxes is $410 on Priceline
Agreed- OP You're overthinking it.... the ease of getting from a hotel near airport over to Boardwalk is just...so easy. usually 25 minute ride. My advice- find a hotel with decent ratings near MCO that provides the free shuttle over for the 1st night. There are plenty of name brand hotels around there. Then get an uber/lyft the next morning to Boardwalk,and do your thing- couldn't be simpler! After you drop your luggage, get a checkin, you can walk or boat to Studios or Epcot, or bus to a water park if you wish. Obv. the in-airport hotel is easiest (I've done this before) but a quick shuttle late at night is also a good idea to somewhere nearby,trust me, that "onsite magic" won't feel so magical at 11 pm when you just need a bed to sleep in on arrival night...Personally I would just decide on a price point and book the closest hotel to the airport you can find under that amount, then get your uber to WDW first thing in the morning. If you're staying at BWV, it's not going to be that much of a hassle to drop your luggage at the hotel before going into EPCOT.
Yes, they transfer your luggage. Keep with you any medications, swim wear, anything else you might need during the day, because your luggage may not arrive at BWV until 4 PM or later.Ok so I might be able to find a studio at OKW renting points for around $288 for the night.
I would be there by 1030-11pm (arriving at MCO 10pm, getting transportation to hotel).
If I stay at OKW, bell services would transfer my luggage to BWV for free, correct? How is the process?
Usually you have to catch a bus from DS to Typhoon Lagoon or from AK to Blizzard Beach (IOW, bus from OKW to one or the other transfer point) so it will depend on which water park is open at the time of your visit. But keep an eye on the Transportation forum, because that might change between now and your visit.Also, the following day is the first day of our BWV stay, so we would qualify for the free water park entrance on the first day, correct? So I could just get a bus from OKW to the water park? Or do I have to get a bus to BWV and from there get a bus to water park?
Assuming I would save on the transportation the next day, $288 is not bad even though I would be there just crashing for the night
Thanks
