We'll be there with five year old grandson, Andrew. We will be staying at OKW since we are DVCrs. We will be there from
March 2- March 7, Sunday through Friday morning. What shortened hours are you speaking about?? I was down last week and MK was open until 7 PM on weekdays and 9 on weekends. AK 5PM, MGM 7 PM and 9 on weekends, and Epcot 9 PM. Since we were down with small kids nobody cared about the early closures. The parks were very busy, however. Way too crowded for my tastes but we usually travel the first week in Sept when the crowds are nil.

By the way, I stayed at AKL on Saturday night to save points. I paid for a Savannah view room ( 174.00) which was very pricey even though we had AP rates. The money was worth it to see the animals upclose right out our balcony. MY 11 year old grandddauter was much more impressed than the 5 YO we had with us( my best friend's Granddaughter), so maybe you made the right choice not to book AKL while your child is so young.
