Help with parks/days...leave in less than 2 weeks

[Meghan4]

Hi guys! I thought I had everything set, and then I got my Sci-Fi reservation changed thanks to touring plans. We will be there September 22nd-29th, so here is the schedule for now...

September 22nd- arrival night
September 23rd-MK morning, resort break, MNSSHP that night
September 24th-Epcot Day
September 25th- Originally HS morning and Epcot afternoon because I had Sci-Fi reservations for lunch, but I got that moved to Thursday. Now I am not sure what to do on this day.

September 26th-AK
September-27th-HS
September 28th-MK
September 29th-go home

I should also mention that we do have park hoppers, and we will be eating in Epcot for dinner the nights of the 26th and 27th because it will be mine and my sons birthdays. So what would you do on the 25th?

Will one AK day be enough for you? I might think about doing a combo AK/MK day on the 25th. Looks like you've got MK as bookends for the trip, but since it's the park with the most rides, I think I'd want to go there a bit in the middle, too. I know some people are okay with just one day at AK, but the Pandora rides are a hands-down favorite (probably too late for FP unless you hit it lucky on refresh, but you could probably ride with little wait time at rope drop or close), and I love Safari because it's a different trip each time depending on which animals are active. We're big animal fans, too, so the chance to spend a lot of time on the Gorilla trail, etc. is a bonus.

I love AK after dark so i would do that on 9/25. Maybe sleep in and hit AK at noon and stay until it closes. If you can't get FOP FP+ get in line right before closing.

We have a day like this next trip and we have a FOP FP+ but plan on getting in line right at closing too.

Have you considered taking a day off from the parks? We always try to plan one day to do Disney Springs and get in some pool time! Sometimes we go bowling in DS or play mini-golf. It makes a nice break from going from attraction to attraction.

We did this last trip and we were bored by dinner time. We slept in, hit the pool, dinner ADR and then relaxed at the resort. We really wanted to hit a park after dinner. We don’t do DS since it’s just a shopping mall to me and i can mini golf at home. From now on we will get tickets for each day of our trip even if it’s only to hit a park for 3-4 hours and just do our FP+. We have a day or two like that next trip.

Hmm. That's a pretty good schedule, I would have done the same.

How about HS day MK night? With two non-party MK nights (I'm assuming they aren't party nights), you can do the fireworks one day, and skip them the other day and get a few extra attractions in during the show.

I scored all of the great FP's at 60 days out, including FOP, 7DMT, slinky dog, etc. That's not a bad idea to do a split AK/MK day so that I can book Navi river and even more at MK.

I did get a FOP FP+ at 60 days out! I'm so excited to ride this ride!!

That's another great idea, thanks!

Great! Since you'll be leaving AK to eat dinner at Epcot I assume you won't get much evening time at AK. I would definitely do AK in the evening on your extra day. EE at night is amazing! The vibe is so different at the park.

I'm considering MK morning and AK afternoon into evening. I already have FOP FP+, but now I can add Navi River for that afternoon.
