We haven't stayed there, but like you, are just staying 2 nights prior to checking into POP. Got way better deals on flights leaving 2 days early, and since it is a weekend, I don't have to take the kids out of school. We got a deal through hotels.com. Hoping it is a nice hotel!
My plans changed before Labor Day. A good rate for POFQ opened up so I took it for two nights.

LOL funny b/c I ended up canceling my reservation for POP
My rationale was that I would be staying on Disney property, could make use of EMH if desired, and have easier access to the bus system. Also fewer taxes and fees compared to Wyndham. And for two nights, why not stay at a moderate?
I called Disney to extend our stay, but there was nothing available in a mod or at POP for 2 more days. It would have increased our vacation by $1,500 because all that was available was a family suite at AOA. We did the dining plan, so it also increased that by 2 days. We are not flying in until 7:30pm, and then we will have to drive there, so really only 1 more day. We will go to Disney Springs that day, and also thought about going to the Boardwalk because we have never been there before. I keep checking to see if something will open up on property, but with the dining plan we have to pay for 2 more days adding the 2 nights.
You can do a separate reservation! It will be separate regardless, but you choose if you want the dining plan or not.I called Disney to extend our stay, but there was nothing available in a mod or at POP for 2 more days.

I technically have 3 reservations during our trip. 2 of them at the same resort, same room type. 1 night is not applicable for an AP discount so had to do that one alone and check in again the next day when discount starts. Then at the end of our trip we are switching to WL. Only one of the 3 has the dining plan attached.. I wanted to remove it but was told it wasn't possible bc resort is sold out. Oh well. My point is- you don't have to include the dining plan when you book the 2 nights that you need.
