Hello Everyone!
We're going to WDW from November 30th to december 6th,we'll be staying at all-star music.
We might arrive on the 29th...(we're from Quebec city Canada, its a 28 hours drive, so we're not sure when exactly we'll arrive...)
we're should we stay for that night if we want to be very close to WDW to be sure to check in early in the morning on november 30th???
Not too expansive if possible....

We just spend our first night at the Fairfield Inn. It was right outside the gates just beyond Downtown Disney. I found it by searching on a travel website and looking for what was closest to Downtown Disney.

The complex actually had the Fairfield Inn, Courtyard by Marriott and a Springhill all on the same complex. Each had their own pool and there was a food court onsite.

It was really a very nice complex with several chain restaurants extremely close. It was a good spot for our arrival night and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

What about adding a room-only night at All-Star Music? You might be able to get a good deal on the room, and then you're "there". Most likely you won't even have to move rooms!

Check the room only rates through Disney. They have rooms at the the value resorts for cheaper than most cheap hotels in Orlando during that period. IMHO you will be more comfortable, safer, and have much less stress if you go ahead and stay at a Disney resort. Even if it is more expensive it can't be more than a few dollars more expensive than a cheap hotel. Would be nothing worse than a bad experience trying to save $10-$20 bucks to start your vacation!:thumbsup:
