3 Day PH strategy

[wvjules]

We (me and adult DD) only have 3 park days so we are getting PHs. Factors to consider: Utilize EEH at Epcot and MK. Fantasmic is a must at HS. Most likely NOT rope dropping. Staying at BWI.

Which of these options gives me the best opportunities for maximizing LLMP. And, no, we will most likely NOT rope drop.

TLDR Version:
Option 1 - Day 1 MK/Epcot (EEH), Day 2 - HS, Day 3- AK/MK (EEH) - This option has 2 MK days.
Option 2 - Day 1 AK/Epcot (EEH), Day 2 - HS, Day 3- Epcot/MK (EEH) - This option has 2 Epcot Days
Option 3 - Day 1 MK/Epcot (EEH), Day 2 - AK/HS, Day 3- Epcot/MK (EEH) - This option has AK on the HS day. I like this one but think LLMPs will be hard for HS.

This is what I'm thinking:

Option 1 - MK bookending the trip (start and finish). This was my original plan/thought.

Monday - MK/Epcot (EEH)

• Morning - Magic Kingdom -
  • LLSP Tron
  • LLMP for whatever we can get for morning times.
• Afternoon - Hotel/Break, MK, or Epcot - depending on heat, energy levels, crankiness from either of us, etc.
• Evening - Epcot (EEH) -
  • LLSP GoG
  • LLMP whatever we can get after MK

Tuesday - Only HS

• Morning - No plans. Either sleep in or hit up whatever park we want
• Afternoon/Evening - Hollywood Studios -
  • LLSP RoTR
  • LLMP ToT, RnR, TSM
  • Fantasmic DP

Wednesday - AK/MK (EEH)

• Morning - Animal Kingdom -
  • LLSP FoP
  • LLMP Safari, EE and Navi
• Afternoon - Hotel/Break, AK or MK - depending on heat, energy levels, crankiness from either of us, etc.
• Evening - Magic Kingdom (EEH) -
  • LLSP Tron
  • LLMP for whatever we can get after AK and EEH

Option 2 - Start at AK, have 2 Epcot Days, end with MK EEH
Monday - AK/Epcot

• Morning - Animal Kingdom -
  • LLSP FoP
  • LLMP Safari, EE and Navi
• Afternoon - Hotel/Break
• Evening - Epcot (EEH) -
  • LLSP GoG
  • LLMP whatever we can get after AK.

Tuesday - Only HS

• Morning - No plans. Either sleep in or hit up whatever park we fee like.
• Afternoon/Evening - Hollywood Studios -
  • LLSP RoTR
  • LLMP ToT, RnR, TSM

Wednesday - Epcot/MK (EEH)

• Morning - Epcot -
  • LLSP GoG
  • LLMP Remy, SE and Nemo
• Afternoon - Hotel/Break
• Evening - Magic Kingdom (EEH) -
  • LLSP Tron
  • LLMP whatever we can get after Epcot

Option 3 - MK bookending the trip (start and finish), 2 Epcot Days, Split Day 2 between AK and HS. I'm thinking this will be the most difficult one for LLMP for AK/HS day.

Monday - MK/Epcot (EEH)

• Morning - Magic Kingdom -
  • LLSP Tron
  • LLMP for whatever we can get for morning times.
• Afternoon - Hotel/Break, MK, or Epcot - depending on heat, energy levels, crankiness from either of us, etc.
• Evening - Epcot (EEH) -
  • LLSP GoG
  • LLMP whatever we can get after MK

Tuesday - AK/HS

• Morning - AK
  • LLSP FoP
  • LLMP Safari, EE and Navi
• Afternoon/Evening - Hollywood Studios -
  • LLSP RoTR
  • LLMP ToT, RnR, TSM
  • Fantasmic DP

Wednesday- Epcot/MK (EEH)

• Morning - Epcot -
  • LLSP GoG
  • LLMP Soarin and whatever morning times we can get.
• Afternoon - Hotel/Break, AK or MK - depending on heat, energy levels, crankiness from either of us, etc.
• Evening - Magic Kingdom (EEH) -
  • LLSP Tron
  • LLMP for whatever we can get after Epcot and EEH

I know I am overthinking and it will all be great no matter what I choose.

When are you going? MK doesn't have any Extended Evening hours in July or August as far as the calendar now shows.

With option 3, on Tuesday, getting your desired 3 LLMPs at AK and your desired 3 LLMPs at HS may be very difficult or impossible. (I realize you've already acknowledged such. I'm agreeing with that statement.) If you buy LLMP for AK, you can't book your LLMPs for HS until you've tapped into one at AK. On Wednesday, for your MK evening LLMPs, it should say "after Epcot," not "after AK."

Fixed! Thanks. I was multi-tasking.

I am going mid-June and there are EEH showing on the calendar.
