Can it be done? CP, JBJB and HEA in one night?

[kittylady1972]

Ok crazy idea I'd like to try for our upcoming trip, because there are so many evening shows I want to see and so little time to see them for such a short timeframe.

Here is the deal...we have the CP dinner package for the 6:45pm CP show. This is THE only night we can see HEA due to the MVMCP happenings, so I'd definitely like to do that. I'd also like to catch JBJB for the first time, though it is an option for us for one other night.

Do you think we could see the 6:45pm CP show, then somehow make it from there over to HS (seems like boat would take too long...but we have a car and can drive over quickly) and catch the 8pm JBJB show and THEN leave that park and drive to MK and make it there in time to catch HEA at 9pm?

I'm sure that CP and HEA would be possible...but adding in JBJB might make things much tougher simply because no matter how we get to MK (unless it's by bus maybe) the travel time to park and then get INTO the park itself will be an issue for us. We may be better off heading up to the Top of the World Lounge that night and watching HEA from there, even though I know it isn't the same as being on the VERY crowded Main Street.

You'll have to take additional transportation once you hit the TTC if you're driving to MK, so I'd say no chance.

That is my thought as well, unless we hit the Contemporary instead and just headed up to TOTW Lounge to watch. That's an option.

I think it's a stretch. I wouldn't risk it. Also, I would highly recommend not missing HEA, so if it comes down to choosing between JBJB and HEA, I would definitely choose HEA, preferably in-park so you can see the all the projections.

That's what I'm leaning towards. I've seen HEA actually, right from the hub of Main Street. My FIL has not but that can be seen any time of year and I know our plan is to get APs and get in at least two trips in 2018...and maybe convince him to join us again. I've only seen small portions of JBJB last year. Still I'll probably chose HEA but we'll have to see how things go that night, since it will be our last night.

There really is no such thing as driving quickly anywhere on WDW property. You may be able to drive there quickly, but first you have to walk out of EP, walk to your car and then after you park it, walk to the entrance of DHS and go through security. That takes quite a while. If you really want to try this, I would walk from EP to DHS. You would probably get there just before JBJB starts. Then take an uber to CR and either walk over to MK or watch it from TOWL. You could also uber to GF and take the monorail over to MK. You could then monorail back to the EP parking lot to pick up your car or, just park at TTC at the beginning of your day and pick it up there after HEA.

True...I've done the drive to parks plenty of times...last trip actually we drove to 3 parks in one day, drove to EPCOT from HS just for drinks for the adults and then drove from EPCOT to AK for dinner later. I am pretty well aware this may not work, though I do like the idea of the walk...hadn't considered that, just know that boat ride would be way too slow. I've never "Ubered" so not sure I'd go that route. Honestly if we caught a bus JUST RIGHT from HS right after JBJB it would be our best bet since the drop off would be so much closer. I've considered heading to CR and parking there and then walking over to MK if we don't watch from TOWL. I have a feeling our priority is really going to be HEA, even though I realize how insane those crowds will be getting there so close to the start of the show.
