Help with plans

Hi. I am new to here and it has been 4 years since my last family trip to WDW.

Can't make up my mind about our 1st 2 days. (party of 7, May 27-June 2nd)

Monday, May 27th
HS EMM
break
Magic Kingdom with FP

Tuesday, May 28th
water park
break
Epcot with FP for EMH 9-11

Or
Monday, May 27th
HS EMM with FP
break
Epcot

Tuesday, May 28th
water park
Magic Kingdom with FP

Would you do Epcot EMH? Do I need FP there for a night visit?

What are you doing on Wed and will being out late have any impact on getting up for whatever that is?

Even without an answer to that question, I'd probably do plan 2. There aren't that many things open for EMH at EP and the EMH itself isn't so late that the park clears out all that much. Travel between HS and EP is also easier than HS and MK. AND Tues is a better day for MK, in my opinion.

I can only add that after a water park we are DONE. done. and done.

Is everyone in your party on board with a packed schedule?

If you’re doing EMM at HS, you probably won’t need FP there. You can do all of TSL and then rope drop RNRC & TOT (assuming you’re interested in both). I’m not sure what crowd levels will be like but it will be before summer break for schools.

I can’t answer for Epcot at night but if that’s your only day there you probably want to use FP. If you have a second Epcot day (especially early morning) that might not be so important

Good catch! I didn't see the FP+ at HS for Option 2. Agree with this. You'll want FP+ at your second park, not HS if you're doing EMM.

Good morning! Thank you for the replies. I am traveling with my husband and 5 "kids" 17 to 23. We do have several breaks planned during the week.

We are pretty lazy water park visitors! They open at 10:00 while we are there so I assume we will be there from 10-1 and go back to house for lunch/nap.

I just can't seem to decide!

I agree that the 2nd plan looks better...but I can't let go of the thought of doing Epcot for EMH.

Basically, I need to decide if I want to attend Epcot EMH! Any thoughts on this? We always avoid EMH parks!


Any thoughts on EMM?

Plans:
Toy Story Land
RnR/Tot
breakfast
Star Tours
Muppets
Frozen
out the door!

Then save FP for that night? (Epcot is a green park and Magic Kingdom is red).

Thanks for reading and replying!
