Here's our Sept Trip plan with 3 kids (13, 4 and 2)

[moopdog]

[/B]Okay, here's my tentative plan for our September trip with 3 kids (13, 4 and 2). We only have dining plan for the 3 days we're at ASM in case you're wondering about the PS's. Kind of went commando the first 3 days and let the last half of our trip be more laid back, etc. Thought we'd like to spend less time in the room at ASM and more time at our place once we get to OKW. Also needed to get our "best places to eat" out of the way, while on dining plan. Need feedback !! Thanks. If I should post this in a diff place, let me know. -moopdog

We are considering a trip during those exact same dates, and we were wondering if you have any idea how late the parks will be open during that time of year?

I posted the same question a few weeks ago, and I don't remember which website gives the info, it might be allears.net But anyway, they give "proposed" hours for every day in 2005 and I think that is basically just the same hours as the days were in 2004.

Okay... if you go to wdwinfo.com click "info" then "hours", I think that will get you in the rigth area. My days that I am there are 9/23-9/30 and the hours are like this:
AK 8-5 each day
Epcot FW 9-11 each day
Epcot WS 9-9 each day
Studios 9-8 each day
MK 9-10 on the 23rd, 9-9 on the 30th, and 9-7 each of the other days.

Hope this helps... oh yeah, and the water parks are both open from 10-7 each day. Let me know if you find out different. Thanks!

Thanks for the info!! This was a complete last minute decision to take this trip! LOL We will be there from the 24-29 most likely. Let's keep our fingers crossed for NO HURRICANES!!
