Hi All.
I have question put to all of you fine, knowledgeable people.
We booked a trip at Beach Club Oct 7 - Oct 13 with 5 day park hopper tickets. This was right after 2023 packages were released back in the summer of 2022. I'm something of a planner and even though the trip is still (as of this moment) 227 days away, I'm doing some preliminary planning for the trip. We'll be driving from central Mississippi. We've decided to leave a couple of days early, on Oct 5, so that we can get down into Orlando and be ready to have our full check-in day available for going to a park rather than coming in exhausted on Oct. 7. Right now I have a room at Windham Garden Lake Buena Vista booked for Oct 5th and Oct 6th. My plan was to arrive on the 5th, get a good nights sleep and kick it around Disney Springs on the 6th. We'd then get up early on Oct 7th, our BC check-in day, and drive over to BC and leave our luggage at the Bell desk and head to Epcot via the IG.
Okay, so with the current plan background out of the way, I've had a thought. I've been looking at the WDW website, and I can get a preferred room at one of the All-Stars for only $66 more than what the room at Wyndham Garden will cost. I'm not looking to add more park days so it would be a room only reservation. So, my question is, do you think it would be worth the negligible amount of extra cash that it would cost to go ahead and be "In the bubble". The main reason that I'm considering it is the convenience of not having to deal with moving my luggage. Shouldn't I be able to have my luggage transferred from an All-Star hotel to Beach Club and be able to head straight to Epcot. I'd have my car, so I could drive to BC and enter from the IG as we were planning without having to stop and unload my luggage.
If I decided to stay at Wyndham, would I be able to drive over to BC on the 6th and leave my luggage with Bell services overnight? Obviously, getting to Disney Springs from an All-Star is going to be less convenient than being at Wyndham, but is it going to be significantly more inconvenient?
I was pretty set on my plans but now I'm second guessing everything! I just need some advice.
