OK we are leaving 10/4 for orlando. we are not staying on property---about 15 miles away. This is what we want to do--2 days in disney (2 character meals already scheduled), 1 day epcot/animal kingdom. We are traveling with our just 2 year old, and I will be 21 wks pregnant
my questions are--
what tickets should I get?
what are the must-see's in mk, epcot, ak?
can my 2 yr old ride things with us?
how do i get tickets for mickeys halloween party?
are all the attractions in ak included in the price of the tickets? like animal encounters
any other tips would be great!! thanks!!!
mommy2, I want to make sure you understand the post before this one. When the poster mentions buying a park hopper ticket and having some left over for next time, understand that this is only accurate if you buy the 'no expiration' option. If you simply buy regular park hoppers (no matter how many days you buy), your ticket will expire 14 days after first usage, regardless of how many days you have used. There are sites where you can get 3 day hopper tickets for $277 for adults and $244 per child. This means your paying $92 per day per adult. The 10-day no expiration would cost you $453 for adults. This reduces your price to $45 per day. The long and short of it is that it is much cheaper, in the long run, to buy no-expiration tickets. However, this is only worthwhile if:
1) You can afford the cash up front
2) You KNOW you will be going back to WDW in the forseeable future (they never expire, but their worthless if you don't return)
3) You are responsible enough that you won't lose them
We are going in 2 weeks and bought 10 day no-expiration hoppers for the 4 days we'll spend there. We're headed back next December, so we know it's the right thing to do.
To your other questions, your 2 year-old will have a blast and kind ride just about everything you can. There are must-sees everywhere, but this is long enough without me launching into our list - I agree that you should start early in Fantasyland at MK.
You can get
MNSSHP tickets through the Disney main line, but know that it is SEPARATE ticket from your other pass. We are going to MNSSHP on 10/2 and that ticket will give us access to MK at 4pm. Our plan is to rest, spend time at pools, and visit other things during the day and not 'waste' a paid day at the park that morning. This will allow our girls to be rested and enjoy the evening at the park.
My only other comment, having gone last summer with a 1 and 2 year-old, take your time, and be willing to go back to the hotel during the afternoon (unless your child will truly sleep in the stroller). The days are long, and they need the break.
OK, novel complete - have a blast!!
Hit it first tho..animals are most awake in the AM and it fills up fast for fastpass!!
