Orlando is a bit higher. But, it's closer to WDW.
**So, less gas to get to WDW.
**Plus, mileage would be more from Tampa. Wouldn't that add up in spending more money to the rental car company? Plus, more gas used.
**Motels near WDW are usually pretty reasonable. On the Gulf side, I have found them to be more expensive.
Anyway, I would be looking into these three things before I made my final decision.

I would have to pay extra for gas, yes. I doubt that hour 17 mins (I used mapquest to my resort) would eat up the $60 difference though.
Rental cars offer unlimited mileage so that is not an issue.
There are pros and cons to each, the gas and hour and something drive doesn't mean that much to me, shelling out the extra $$ now for the ticket does!
Also getting up early on 10/31 for that flight, that is a big CON for me. I would have to get up extra early for the 2hr drive to the airport!
Flight is at 6:50am and its 2hr drive plus parking in a lot, and 2hr check in.
I wish it was as close as Tampa is to Orlando
If I go nite before, I wont be crazy tired and rushed getting to airport and we get to go to TL the next day before MNSSHP.
Very tough decision.
If I do decide to fly into Orlando nite before, I would have to call my Travel agent AGAIN for another change!!!
She just made my change to get the Fall Sale discount. Then I forgot to remind her to take off the last nite off pkg, so she went and made that change for me too. I dont think she has charge me any fees, although there is no charge when there is a discount offered.
I would be booking that hotel nite before and changing the car rental info to pick up nite before.
I need to go ahead and buy these tickets already by this weekend so I can get this off my back!
Iam just wanted to see if any more discounts came out on my flights. And flying home there weren't many choices availabe. Iam taking a connection coming home to avoid a 7am flight!
