Advice on Disneyworld Trip June 7-11

[donnaw117]

Hi,
We're arriving the afternoon of June 7. It is my DD 7, and DS 9 first trip to Disneyworld. I would like to make it memorable for them. Which days would be the least busy for the parks. My mother is also coming along on the trip. I need some advice and strategies to make sure everyone has a good time. I don't want to rush the kids through the parks. Was thinking of spending 2 days at MK. I also want to avoid the kids being cranky and exhausted. I am staying at POFQ. On June 7 I have a reservation at Chef Mickeys at 7:10.

The first thing we need to know is what kind of tickets do you have? Then, we can start making some suggestions.

Here is the info from Deb's site:

What is a Magic Kingdom E-Ride Night?

A Magic Kingdom E-Ride Night is a special after hours (hard-ticketed) event held on selected nights at the Magic Kingdom.

The great thing about a Magic Kingdom E-Ride Night is that ticket sales are very limited (rumors say about 5,000). (To put that in perspective, a slow day at the Magic Kingdom nets about 25,000 visitors.) The park will remain open 3 hours after its stated closing time for you to enjoy the E-Ticket Rides.

For $12.72 with tax per Adult per night, and $10.60 with tax per Child 3-9 per night, you will be able to enjoy the MK's E-Ticket attractions with super short waits.

What dates will Magic Kingdom E-Ride Nights be held?

May 31, 2004
June 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28, & 30
July 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, & 30
August: 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13

As with all information -- Please call WDW directly to confirm!

We are going to stay at the POFQ beginning 06/06/04-06/13/04. Be sure and utilize fast passes and attending e night is a great way to ride the great rides at MK. Also be sure and take a break when you are tired. It is very easy to try and cram as much as you can in 4 days at Disney World but be sure and rest. Our last trip we went commando style for 3 days (early morn until late at night) and by the 4th day we were exhausted and just did not want to do anything. This year I have scheduled sleep in days as well as naps or rest by pool in the afternoons.
