Can someone help with itinerary Oct 21-24?

We will be arriving late sat night. So, sunday is our first day in the parks. Thinking we will sleep in since we are coming from East coast, getting in late sat and have small kids. Plus parks are open late, so we will have a better chance of staying late on Sunday

Sunday-go to DL
shows-jedi training, fantasmic and fireworks
There is a 9 and 10:30 fantasmic-should we do fireworks at 9:30 and then fantasmic at 10:30? Where would be a good place to eat dinner?

Monday-DCA. Go for RSR fastpasses at opening. Eat at flo's cafe

Tuesday-non park day- Goofy's breakfast at DL hotel and meeting up with family

Wed-going to park but depends on what we missed on previous days. Will do WOC. Any must have places to eat for 3 boys 8, 6 and 2?


Does this seem like the best plan for these days? Does anyone know the crowd predictions for these days? What am I missing? I just realized that I missed out on the Photopass plus bc i don't have time to preorder. Bummed about that. Don't want to miss out on anything else.

TIA

There is a 3 hour difference from the East coast. So if you are coming from the East, going to the park at 8:00 am will Seem like 11:00 am to you!

I'm worried about the opposite thing--whether we can stay up late enough to see Fantasmic or World of Color!

Yes, but we won;t get to hotel until 11-1:30 pm. So we are going to be wiped. I think it may actually help us adjust to west coast time, lol

I believe that on Mondays the Disney resort guests have early entry to DCA, so if you're not staying on-site by the time you can get into the park the fastpass line will be much longer than usual. If you could switch around your Monday and Tuesday that may be a good idea. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

Have an awesome trip!

I think it is a toss up...Sure, DCA will already have people in the park if you do not have EMH, which would make Tuesday a better option if you are not staying onsite. However, if I had to have one non-park day and did not have Halloween Party tickets, I would skip Tuesday or Wednesday because the park closes early (at 6pm) at DL on those days. You can expect DCA to be crowded after 6 on those days.

Yes, we are skipping Tuesday because of the Halloween party.
