We have 7 day waterparks and more tickets for our next trip. We're doing a split stay and got a specific week on the second off-site hotel, meaning that it's going to cost the same for lodging whether we're at the second location for 7 days or less. We're going in Sept, so we figure it might be best to go for longer too - figuring that storms/heat might slow us down. (We're used to going in Nov/Dec, during the non-busy weeks). We won't do many late nights - meaning even 8pm or later. The exception is the Halloween party. The kids will be 5, 8, and 11.
I'm starting to make park plans and our trip is getting longer. These are just tentative plans, as we will likely move one of the waterparks to earlier in the trip. We're at the Dolphin for the first part of our trip though, so I figured it was best to schedule parks for that part initially. That way, last minute hops are easy as well as splitting up our group if needed. (One parent can stay out later with the eldest this way easily).
Sat - Drive down, arrive at Dolphin around 4pm. If we're running early for some reason, go to DTD to do Disney Quest.
Sun - HS
Mon - EP
Tues - Education program in the morning. Three of us have it at EP and the other two will be at HS. They'll hop over to EP after their program.
Wed - MK
Thurs - AK for morning and hop over to HS for afternoon (My kids are not fans of AK. It was a flop for three trips in a row. We skipped it the last trip due to this, but I'm thinking it might be worth it to do Safari, Nemo, and Boneyard and then hop out).
Fri - LEGOLAND
Sat - EP
Sun - MK
Mon - Waterpark in morning, DTD in afternoon and Disney Quest
Tues - Relax at hotel a bunch. Do minigolf for an activity around lunch time. Get to MK for Halloween party as early as possible. (I'm thinking this is 4pm if my brain is working correctly).
Wed - Do the other waterpark that we didn't do on Monday. DTD in afternoon and Disney Quest.
Thurs - Drive back
Technically, we could stay one more night without any additional hotel cost due to how we reserved our second hotel. (And we would still have 1-2 things left on our "and more" part of our ticket). But our original plan was to leave Wed. But then the good LEGOLAND deal showed back up so we had to adjust for that.
