BOG/A&E/MSEP/Wishes - Will this work??

[WishUponAStarryNight]

After weeks and months of trying, I was able to score a BOG ressie and A&E FPs for our group of 4. Problem is that BOG is at 6:30pm and A&E FP window opens at 9pm. Since it's our only night in MK, we'd like to see MSEP and Wishes, too. Is this doable? Can we eat, find a decent place to watch the parade, book it to A&E and finish in time to find a spot for Wishes? I'm trying to get A&E FPs for a different day, but if that doesn't work, do I have any hope of fitting all of this in? There is a later parade that night, but my DS is only 3 and I think I'm pushing it already to keep him up for 10pm fireworks. Thanks!

Maybe. BOG at 6:30, A&E at 9 PM and Wishes at 10 PM are doable.

MSEP between BOG and A&E could be problematic. If MSEP is at 8 PM and you are seated on time at BOG, figure dinner will take about an hour which will give you time to find a spot on the parade route. However, if BOG is running behind schedule and you have to wait or service is slow and you are planning on 3 courses plus meeting the Beast, you might not make it in time for the parade.

If MSEP is at 9 PM, you'll have more time for dinner, but watching the parade, meeting A&E and seeing Wishes becomes harder. If you watch MSEP near the hub/castle it will probably be about 9:30 by the time the parade passes; then head to A&E. You probably won't have much time to find a spot for Wishes afterwards and will miss the castle pre-show. Another thing to keep in mind is parts of Fantasyland are closed shortly before and during Wishes because of potential fallout from the fireworks.

Thanks for your input. I thought it was probably too much to try to accomplish in a couple hours, and you've confirmed my thoughts. I may end up canceling the A&E FPs and hope I can find 2 more to overlap with the 2 have for another day. I grabbed the FPs because they were the first I saw available for our group of 4 (about 35 days into our 60 day window), but I was never thrilled with the time. A few days later I was able to find 2 at an ideal time on our third MK day, but I've been hesitant to cancel the first set because, at least with those, the grandparents can see DS3's interaction with A&E (OT, I know, but I still can't understand why you need more than 1 FP per party for a character meet & greet....).
