Does this sound like the best plan for nighttime? And MM ?

[3Minnies1Mickey]

We are going with a group of 20 next week. The majority of the group will be in the parks Friday June 18-Tuesday June 22.

Here's the plan for nighttime shows:
Friday: Fantasmic! Followed by fireworks on the river. If anyone wants to see them from in front of the castle they'll have other nights to try (plus we can see them from the house we rented).

Saturday: WOC with picnic boxes, the 4:50 show of Alladin.

The rest of the evenings we are kid free. The 3 sets of parents are switching off staying at home with the kids.

Question for those in our group with PHs and MM: would Sunday (fathers day) be better than Saturday to get a jump on the AP crowds?

Another question:

How much time should I allow for the Jedi Academy?
The boys are having lunch at ESPN Zone at 12:15. Would the 11:30 show be cutting it too close (taking monorail to DTD)? Maybe push ESPN to 12:30, or just do the 10:30 Jedi show? Us girls will be at DCA doing the princess lunch.

Saturday is likely to be the least busy day of your trip, as all APs except PAP are blacked out. Personally, I would do F! that night and WoC on Friday.

MM should be fine either Sat or Sun and either will be better than Tuesday, which will probably be the busiest day of your trip. Just get there before opening to take full advantage of MM. -- Suzanne

Socal APs are blocked Friday too.

Most of our group is arriving early afternoon Friday so I figure we'd be in DL that afternoon/evening especially since its the first time at DL for one of the families.

We'll be doing our MM day on Sunday. I figure not many people will be out and about early on Father's day and many people attend church before they hit the park. We won't arrive in time to do MM on Saturday though so I don't know if that is a better day because passes are blocked out.

I would do the earlier Jedi show, because if your party has a boy who has his heart set on it, and doesn't get picked the first time, you may have to come back. Also, I have found the earlier shows all the way around to be less crowded. The kids really love it when they get picked. If your family can hustle, you can make the 12:30 reservation.

You can probably make your reservation after the Jedi show, but I'd walk rather than trying to catch the Monorail. There's often a very long wait around meal times. Last year we waited longer for the Monorail in both directions than we did for most rides. You could scope the line out--talk to the cast members there--before heading out of Tomorrowland. But keep the option open to walk if the wait is very long.
