Would you stay at the GF for one night, especially one where we would have to leave at or before 6:00am the next morning?
Tentatively, our plan is to get in the first day via a red eye flight. We're coming from the west coast so this is the best options for us. This night, we want to stay at a Disney resort. The next day, we're switching to Universal's Hard Rock Hotel and we want to be there early enough to check into the HRH and head to IOA for the extra hour on-site guests get (starting at 8:00am).
We will have a rental car.
And for those who are curious, we are coming back to Disney for 9 nights after the Universal stay, and we're planning on staying at the WL (we're going next year so we're not worry about construction).
We were planning on getting a room just for one night at either OKW or SSR via our private DVC rentee so that we can spend on time at DTD and take the boat. Also, we're hoping we can use this day to adjust to the time change.
We've stayed at SSR and it's our ideal choice because it'll only be $120 and it's closest to DTD. OKW is in consideration because we want to try every resort, we can still take the boat, and it's only $100.
BUUUUTTT… we've always wanted to try GF and this may be a chance to stay there, get a taste of it, and not have to stay for a long (and expensive) period of time. If we went this year, with the room only discount, and we stayed with an outer building garden view it would be $384. And I know this will be different, and I can't rely on the discount, but this gives us an idea of the cost. If we choose GF, we'll either just spend a leisure day at MK and GF, or at DTD. We will not be driving to DTD (or MK obviously), but we know the bus from GF isn't bad at all, it's a fairly short ride.
What would you do?
ETA: Staying at a non-Disney resort is something we do not want to do whatsoever. It's either SSR, OKW, GF, or maybe Pop if the other three don't work out.
