Help with planning BBB and MK days

[hawaiilife]

We have 2 MK days - one is a party day (we are not doing the party) and one is not. We have 3 little ones (8,4, 6 months) so it takes a while to get anywhere

Option 1

Day 1 - PPO BOG breakfast
BBB at 4:00
1900 Park Fare dinner at 6:30
Back to MK for fireworks OR stay at GF (which is better?)

Day 2 (party day) - BOG lunch at 11:45
Crystal Palace dinner at 5:15
Back to the resort


OR

Option 2

Day 1 - PPO BOG breakfast
5pm Crystal Palace
Stay at MK for fireworks

Day 2 (party day) - BOG lunch at 11:45
BBB at 4:00
6:30pm 1900 Park Fare dinner


The main reason I am struggling is because I don't know if its smart to travel to 1900 Park Fare then travel back to the park for fireworks. I feel like Day 2 will be such a short day with the party and I wanted my daughter to enjoy walking around MK after her makeover. We could also try and get an earlier reservation on Day 2 to accomplish this. Or if it's possible to do it Day 1 and then keep her hairstyle for day 2? Ugh I don't know!

Can someone please help me? I feel totally crazy and am probably majorly overthinking!!!

I like Option 1 as I think you have more flexibility. You can sort of decide on that day whether you want to head back into MK or not. I don't have girls, so no first hand experience, but from what I've read, keeping the hairstyle for a couple days is doable. Keep trying for an earlier BBB on that first day.

I like option 1. While we didn't do BBB for 1900 Park Fare, DD did dress up that day as Cinderella and I got some AMAZING shots of her in GF. She also attracted a lot of attention from Lady Tremaine and the step sisters, LOL. With little ones you may find that it is harder to go back and forth from MK, even with GF being so close, but that plan is a least flexible. That and those hairstyles can last 2 days. DD's lasted through a 2nd day at Typhoon Lagoon if that gives you an idea!

Thanks I liked option 1 too. how important is it to do Happily ever after at the MK? Can it be just as well enjoyed from the GF? If so, where in the GF is the best spot? Since our res is at 6:30 and HEA is at 8:30 that night we might not even make it back to MK even if we tried...plus avoiding those crowds during HEA sounds nice lol.

You won't be able to see the projections on the castle, but that just gives you something to look forward to on the next trip. I wouldn't try to get back over after dinner. Take your time and enjoy GF.
