I have a concern about this too now. We're doing at least half of our days early and DS has just started to sleep in later these past few days
I think it's because the sun comes up later but I may have to adjust some of those early mornings. time to take a 1000th look at my plans!
yeah that is how I did my overall flow too. morning EMH the first two nights (with nothing late planned... if it were just me I'd go all out but with kiddo I have to be more careful) and then a couple of 9am RD days and then get there for 10am breakfast.
it is hard with a kiddo that age but mine was always raring to go early in the morning (still is). I can have him sleep in now by keeping him up and using the light blocking curtains. December does have the least daylight though of all of the months!I have a concern about this too now.

LOL! Mine is the opposite.it is hard with a kiddo that age but mine was always raring to go early in the morning (still is). I can have him sleep in now by keeping him up and using the light blocking curtains. December does have the least daylight though of all of the months!
He sleeps a lot, which is basically like me. (can fall asleep anywhere) But it does pose problems for me... In any event, I'm planning to get up first to get ready, get DH up and then tale care of DS2 last... hopefully that plan works.
if he can sleep anywhere then how much "getting ready" time does he require? can't you just throw him in the stroller and wrap him in a blanket and go?LOL! Mine is the opposite.
Haha, no, we give me another bath in the morning. 15 mins for bath, dress up for him. probably need to feed him a little in the morning too while DH showers.if he can sleep anywhere then how much "getting ready" time does he require? can't you just throw him in the stroller and wrap him in a blanket and go?
My girls are a bit older, but I've noticed the exact same thing.... They are sleeping a bit later... But still going to bed at their later summer time. I know their " winter" schedule changes a ton. They'll be ready for bed shortly after sunset... I was looking for a 500 Ohana, but I think with EMM and PPOs 400 dinners would be goodI have a concern about this too now.

my child is up at the "butt crack" (his phrase lol) of dawn. Though if i wear his little butt out he might sleep as late as 8, 8:30 at absolute latest. but it has to be prolonged keep him awake for a couple of days until he will sleep that late. He goes to bed at 8:30 and is up by 6:30 (sometimes as early as 5, I send him back to bed, but lately it's been more like 6:30 so I guess that agrees with you guys only his "later" is not very late). I will be maintaining that schedule with him the first two nights at WDW and then start keeping him up progressively later and hoping he sleeps in longer. the light control really does help.
I'm looking at my schedule and am still wondering what to do... I feel like it should be ok... but it's going to be a roller coaster when we get there... We have 6 early mornings right now- most of which we have to get out of the hotel by 7:15-7:30am... fingers crossed this is doable.
is it possible to get into a routine where you get out of the room by 7:30 every morning for a period of time? that might make it easier but I'm not sure if there are any late nights into late mornings in there.
It's a non-party day (Monday) in a busy month with a predicted CL of 9. Still... yikes!
Thoughts anyone? 
i still have one fp for fantasyland to use on our EMM day. I didn't want to use it on dumbo or another ride not really needing fp, but maybe I should...

First few days are definitely like that and it gets messed up by MVMCP. Then 2 days of late mornings because of late nights then the end of the trip seems more all over the place. Whenever we have early mornings, I try for a nap in between though...
Would probably show up around 2 weeks prior from what I understand. I'm going by the schedules on TP right now.
