Given the butt size I will be using it will likely take 9-10 hours to get it up to a temp of 190.
My question is how do I store this and re-heat it the day after so that the meat doesn't get dried out and tastes as close to coming off the smoker as it can be instead of microwaved leftovers?

You don't have to cook a pork butt whole. I had a time constraint last weekend and cut one into 6 pieces. Smoked it for 2.5 hours, foiled it, then cooked it for another 2 hours. It was perfect to pull. So, you could just get up pretty early, say 4:30, smoke the cut up butt, go back to bed, wake up about 7:30, foil it, and then just take it over hot off the smoker and pull it for sammys at your friends house. Thats what I'd do.
