7:00 am EMH and Hoop Dee Doo - same day

[princesslover]

I know every family is different, but looking for opinions. I have Hoop-de-doo scheduled for the evening of Easter. We have a 6:15 reservation.

I did not know that MK would have EMH of 7:00 that day. I have a 10 year old and a 13 year old. It will be our first full day, so I think they will still have the energy to pull it off. I am just wondering if getting up so early for 7:00 EMH AND staying out until 8:00 or so will just be too much for the first day. On the other hand, I hate to not take advantage of the EMH, because it is Easter.

We are staying at WL, so not too far from Ft Wilderness. Do you think it is too much burning the candle at both ends, or is it doable?

Very doable for our family. My two year olds often do 14-16 hour days. We are commando people! Although for us parks from 10am to 2am is more our speed.

I am thinking about leaving the park around 2:00-2:30 for a resort break before heading to FW. I think we will be ok. I am just having last minute second guessing about everything!!! Thanks for your reply.

If you are taking a break, then you are golden. That will give them relax time and you'll be good to go. And at 10 and 13 you should be more worried about yourself instead of them. Kids have way better energy than us!!!

Totally do able! We went Christmas week and did EMHs with an afternoon break and dinner reservations at night. My kids 3 and 5 handled it great and we did it multiple days during the week like that! I'd take advantage of any EMHs you can.

Thank you everyone. I guess the good part is that they will hopefully fall asleep quickly that night so we can get up early the next day. No EMH, but hopefully Epcot rope drop.

And yes, I am middle aged, so a little worried about my own stamina. LoL.
