Hi,

I am not sure when this happened, but I just realized that my park days in December has changed!
I am not too worried about other parks and other days, except Dec 19 and Dec 20, I am very worried.
I have DD who is 2.5 yrs old and we're going to HS on Dec 19 and MK on Dec 20.
Now that HS has changed its hours to end at 10PM, the new Jingle Bell Jingle Bam taking place at 9:30, we will be only coming back to the resort 10:30-11:00.
Dec 20 MK has its EMH from 7-8! (It used to be 8-9 EMH.)
And we currently have all FP+ reservations around 10:30-2:30 period.

Given that we probably had a LONG day the day before, I am hoping to come back for a nap. (not sure if it will work with my DD as she tent to skip a nap). Should I change my FP+ reservations from 9:30-12:30 (we have BOG ADR at 12:30) and go back to the resort for a mid-day break/nap and come back in the afternoon? Or try to stroll around when she naps and see what happens? Her nap schedule is very unpredictable. :(
 
In June, we did midday breaks every day and it helped my 2 and (then) 4 year old with staying out late in the parks. However, we never got up much earlier than 7am in the morning. You might could just stay in the park and let her sleep in the stroller whenever she conks out, if you don't think you will need the break and bc her nap schedule is so unpredictable. Part of the reason we did the breaks is bc of the heat but you won't have that problem in December.

We have 2 MK days that havery EMH at 7. It used to be 9 am opening. :(

the 1st MK day, we will wake up earlier to make the park opening - plan to go to bed early the day before (AK day and dinner at Tusker House at 6:45, so it works.)
We will see how that day works out and change our plan for the 2nd MK day accordingly. I think mid-day break will work better especially the Wishes will take place at 10 and Once upon a time at 10:45 pm and it's going to be a looooong day.

Thank you for your tip!
