Hello fellows,

I want to let you know that I will be at WDW from Sept 4th to the 8th and planning to record some shows and rides too. Your help on planning my vacation is really appreciated, and since all the tips for my DLR’s trip back in January helped me a lot, I come today for more.

Here’s the schedule I have so far:
Sunday September 4th – Solo Traveling ** Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Return to Magic Kingdom for:
Electrical Parade 9:00pm (I don’t think I’ll make it. Maybe I can see it towards the end of the route)
Wishes 10:00pm

Monday September 5th (Labor Day) – Solo Traveling **Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Return to Magic Kingdom for:
Electrical Parade 9:00pm
Wishes 10:00pm

Tuesday September 6th – Party Traveling
Magic Kingdom. No Electrical Parade this day, but two members of my party will celebrate their b-day this exact day. One is almost 40 and another is having his 1st birthday at the park. What can be done? lol

Thursday September 8th – Party Traveling/Solo Traveling **Epcot
Illuminations 9pm
Return to Magic Kingdom for same as Sunday.

What do you guys think? I have some questions regarding this schedule I made,

1. The “solo” days I won’t have a car so I will use the off property hotel shuttle to Transportation and Ticket Center in the morning and at night, but I need to take WDW’s buses to the others parks.

**Sunday I need to take the bus after Fantasmic (8:30pm) to the T&C and then take the Monorail to MK. In theory this should work. I would say I can be at the MK at 9:30 or so, right?
**Tuesday, DAK closes at 5:00pm. I would take the bus to T&C and then monorail to MK. I don’t see any problem on this. Plus, as this day is Labor Day it shouldn’t be that much crowded.
**Thursday I will travel to Epcot with the family, but they will leave after Illuminations. I need to take the monorail to T&C and then to MK. There is no direct monorail from Epcot to MK right? This, same as on Sunday would be the two tight schedules I think.

2. The 3pm parade is starting and ending where? Same for the Electrical parade. ?
3. Magic, Memories and You show is 15 before and after Wishes, right?
4. I’ll bring 10 hours on HDVs, would that be enough?
5. A second 10:00pm show was added on Monday for Fantasmic!, but I didn't see it on the calendar website. Can anyone please confirm or deny this? Thanks.

If you have any other tip, please right down . Thanks for reading!

Sounds like a busy schedule. Be aware it will be very crowded when Fantasmic lets out, it could take quite a while to get to Magic Kingdom. You may not make either the parade or Wishes. I know one of our trips we left Epcot in a car after Illuminations hoping to get to Magic Kingdom in time for Wishes. We did not make it, we were on the monorail on the way from TTC to Magic Kingdom when Wishes were going off. We ended up stopping at the Grand Floridian for a late night snack before going back to our hotel.

You can stop at Guest Services to get a Happy Birthday pin for your friends for their birthday.

Have a great trip!
