Evening EMH in Dec and planning for thoughts

[peanut520]

We are head to Disney the week before Xmas as we normally do and dd9 & I would not try to head into MK for evening EMH especially when there it is the last wishes castle show for the month, but we will have a friend that hasn’t done Disney in almost 25-30 years with us the first 3 days and I’m trying to squeezing in all 4 parks. We have hoppers.

Option 1:
Day 1- Arrival 10:30 am and AK the rest of the day. I’m not concerned with fop go since we booked the vip tour. I am thinking of hopping to EP for EMH a for soarin and test track.
Day 2 - RD HS, resort break then evening at MK for EMH. Am I nuts?
Day 3 - RD EMH EP leaving after lunch so my friend can hop on magical express.

Option 2:
Day 1- No change
Day 2 - RD EP and evening in HS (saving our fp for evenings)
Day 3 - RD MK leaving after lunch so my friend can hop on magical express. I did grab a BOG breakfast at 8:40am, but no luck for lunch yet.

Option 3:
Same as option 2 but attempt to go to MK for the evening EMH right after HS closes and avoiding Main Street.

Thanks for any inputs on my current plan

I vote for Option 1. Warn your friend of how crowded it will be, but she needs to see Happily Ever After (Wishes is no more, BTW). Everyone needs to see the fireworks at MK at least once. Your option 3 is too much running around.

I thought it was HEA but the Disney site listed the fireworks show as Wishes for that night. I actually just booked the dessert party just in case. I don’t think he will care to see it if it that crowded and I can cancel. We have experienced the December crowds and I have made it very clear to him and that is he is willing to pay for the AK FP tour
