We are going heading to Disney on 1/25/20 and we're staying at the Polynesian. After looking at flights and remembering past experiences on travel day, we decided to book afternoon flights on 24th with the intent of getting a cheap room near the airport and then heading to the Poly the morning of the 25th.
Our flight lands at 8pm Florida time, so it'll be likely that we will be leaving the airport around 9pm at the earliest. We've never arrived this late before as we've always left MN early in the morning and checking in around 1-2pm.
We will be traveling with 3.5 & 4.5 year olds so we will want to get them to bed as soon as we can so they are well rested for the rest of the trip which is 8 nights.
After speaking with my travel agent, she recommended we just get a room only reservation at one of the value resorts and have disney send our luggage to the Poly the next morning. I've never stayed at a value resort so I know very little about them, and there'll be 5 of us and the rooms state they accommodate 4. Can we get 5 into a value room for just one night?
I'm looking for some advice on where to stay/what to do that night as I don't want to pay Deluxe room rates since we will be getting in so late and I feel there is a cheaper option and I'm concerned about the travel time to WDW resorts that time of day and traveling with young ones.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
