I would definitely skip the late showing of Spectro on 9/30 in favor of getting to the MK early the next day. That way you'd be able to fit in a lot of the attractions in during the morning before the bigger crowds come in. Everything else looks good!

You may want to schedule more down time before and after MNSSHP. That's a pretty late night, so having an early morning at AK the next morning might be difficult. Could you do 1/2 day at AK that Friday, and then return for a good rest. Then, the day after the party you could do DDD?

I don't know how old your kids are. Maybe they are old enough that this rest isn't necessary. I've just heard that you should take it easy after the party.

I'd think about making my reservation at Tony's so as to be seated outside when the parade passes by. I did that once, and it was really nice. For example, if the parade is to start at 8:00, I'd make a reservation for 7:00 at Tony's, and when I got to the reservation desk I'd ask to be seated outside.

Enjoy.

No pool time for the kids?

thanks everyone for your input! it's greatly appreciated... i think we're finding a way to do everything that's important to everyone...

let's see... the kids are 9, 11, 15 and 17 yo (will be nearly 10 and 12 by the time we travel, gotta fit in one more trip while ds9 is still a "child!" ) and are quite adept at staying up late... i tend to fall asleep before they do!

i think we've decided to do the sunday 8pm showing of spectro, rather than the late one after HDDR...

i don't expect we'll stay at MNSSHP allll night long (how late does it go?) esp if we are in the park at 4pm... we'll likely head downtown after breakfast and take a break back in the room before heading to the MK for the party... i also considered switching our 1900 PF ADR w/our Tony's ADR and have dinner at Tony's during MNSSHP... whattya think? or, as another poster suggested... be outside Tony's for SPECTRO?! did not even know that was a possiblity... how great would that be?! (gotta go find my map! LOL!) [i have a 6:15 ADR for Tony's... we would likely be done before the parade started... right?]

the kids will have plenty of time to swim each night when we get back to the resort... plus ds usually takes an early morning swim before breakfast... and if we take a mid-day break, there's always time for a dip in the pool then too!

again, THANKS!!
