Help on choosing days and parks (11/27-12/1)

[Micokao]

Hi,

We will be in Orlando from 11/26-12/2 with a 6.5yr and 2.5 yr.

Here is our plan so far
11/26 (Turs) arrive at 8pm, rent the car, check into hotel ( Hilton Garden inn Lake buena vista)
11/27 (Fri) relax day, may drive up to Tampa area
11/28 (Sat) Disney- AK
11/29 (Sun) Disney- MK
11/30 (Mon) LegoLand, Legoland hotel stay
12/1 (Tue) relax day maybe Disney Spring, flight at 5:30 pm

After reading some threads here, I start debating
1. if I need to switch out AK with Epcot , at first, I picked AK over Epcot as AK seems to be more attractive to the kids. however, now that I learned most of shows are not available and with a younger one, we can't probably do lots of rides. In addition, my daughter recently falls in love with frozen which is another reason makes me want to consider Epcot. any thought?

2. I need some advice on the schedule, should I move one of the park day to 12/1 Tuesday ? It may be less crowded then Sat and Sun but we have to leave the park at 2:30 to catch the flight.

Any other suggestions are appreciated.

I would do a park Friday, Sunday and Monday and skip Legoland. I would do MK twice and AK since you have young children.

Thank you. I wish i could but Legoland was on top of my son's(6.5yr) list with the hotel stay. the stay at Lego land hotel is more than twice as expensive in any other days during our trip that's why I have to keep it on Monday. we have been to MK two years ago and he still remembered some so hopefully one day this time would do.

I really like your plans.
We just did..
Friday/Saturday at the beach
Saturday afternoon check in and DS -trex cafe
Sunday MK we rode almost everything and had a brake mid day. They open an hour before posted
and stay open till 8 on weekends so at about 12 we took a bus back to the hotel and had a break.
We had a car but if you take a bus you are dropped off curbside and do not have to do ferry/ monorail or the long walk from the car because no trams.
Monday was AK. It was awesome. They still have the bird show and the kids like the bug show. They really enjoyed seeing the animals. It was my kids favorite day/ park.
They really wanted to do legoland but they do not enforce mask so this time we had to skip it and we took the kids to funspot.

I saw you are staying off site..
I was able to get pop on hotwire for $90 and Coronado for 110. check out the priceline thread for the details.

Then you for sharing your wonderful trip. I checked the onsite hotels again and they are all unfortunately expensive for the Thanksgiving week . (pop ~$200) I guess I will have to stick with the offsite hotels.

Looks like going early is the only way to beat the crowd. I will make sure we go early and just take a long break to recharge during the middle of day
