Okay - what would you do? I've been on the fence so long about making a trip in August - I failed to book a flight. Now - the only cheap flights GOING to MCO arrive at just before midnight. Flights are about 80-90 dollars higher than I normally pay.
Note - on my current planned arrival day - I have zero plans - I was going to see how I felt. I have an AP - so I can decide last minute - or just chill out for the day - resort hop, Disney Springs.
One idea:
Would you add an extra day and book the arrival night at the MCO Hyatt (I have a free night to use) - and head over to your WDW resort the next day leisurely (since it was planned to be a slow day anyway)?
Second idea:
Book the flight on your original planned arrival day - expecting to arrive at the WDW resort well after midnight - probably not until 1-2 am. Sleep a few hours and then head to the park as planned with not a full night sleep?
I guess the question is how "easy" is that stop at the Hyatt at the airport and getting to Disney the next day? Is it worth giving up my Hyatt night for it? Technically - the Hyatt night/points are worth a bit more than the $90 of the higher flight cost - but there's also "how long is this trip" factor in there.
Opinions?
