Expert advice needed!

I'll be in WDW with my 5yr DD May 12-16th. We'll only be in the parks Fri-Sun. We'll have Park hoppers. My problem is this: We have PS for 10am breakfast in Norway on Friday. That's the early entry day for MK. With the projected crowds coming in for that weekend, should I try to take DD to MK right at 8am to squeeze in a few rides, or should we go to Epcot, do breakfast and then hit MK, knowing it will be busy? Or is there another plan of action someone can think of? I may have the possibility of making a lunch PS, but not sure. My DD will be sad if I cancel b/c it's with the princesses. I'll take any help I can get!

If you can change to a lunch PS and take advantage of EMH, I would. If you keep the time you have, by the time you get back to MK, you will face unmanageable lines for everything. Particularly in MK, between the hours of 11AM and 6PM, the crowds can make it so frustrating

If you can get a PS for around noon, you could take advantage of the EMH and be out of MK just as it starts to become too crowded.

Norway now offers all day dining with the Princesses, so you could schedule a dinner PS there and still get lots of "princess time."

You'd have to leave MK by 9am in order to make a 10am PS at Norway, I would think, so whether to do an EMH morning there will really depend on how much you think you can do in an hour. Personally, I would move the PS to later in the day and do the EMH at MK first, then head to Epcot.

If you are a capable "early person" I would definitely be at MK before the gates open, do lots of rides without much waiting leave at 9:30AM and take the monorail over to EPCOT and enjoy a leisurely breakfast after accomplishing so much that morning.

I would only cancel the PS if you can reschedual. My daughter loved it!!!

I would not head over to MK after the PS since it would be atleast 11:30 by then. You could get quite a bit done in fantasy land with EMH. I'm not sure if I would be up to the trouble of getting to MK by 8, leaving for Epcot by atleast 9:15, and making it to Norway by 9:45 for 10 PS. Can you do MK on a different day?

If it were me, I would probably try to reschedual PS later the same day. You would probably leave MK before noon crowds show up anyway.

THANKS! After careful consideration (about 10 seconds), I called WDW and was able to get a PS for the Princess Storybook lunch for shortly after 1pm. I figure a quick breakfast in the room, a few snacks at MK and we'll be set until about 12/12:30. Since we've already hit MK, we can relax for the rest of the afternoon. So, if anyone wants it, a 10am breakfast is now available for 2!
Thanks again to all!
