Ok, so now I'm looking at my family of 4-5 (3-4 adults and 1 child) going the week after memorial day instead of the first week of August, due to work schedules. Since we will be using military tickets we don't get MM. With 3 day park hoppers, going on Tues-Thurs, is it realistic to think we can still get in a good touring schedule without getting in to the parks early? Crowd calendar on touringplans ranges these days from 6-8 our of 10, which I'm guessing is because many people will have gone home after the holiday weekend.
I ask because the homewood is only $129 on our nights, whereas PP is $245 a night WITH the military discount, and cramming all of us into a PP standard room for more money is going to be hard to justify to my mom, who is footing the bill. But I'm worried that hour is going to make a huge difference in how much riding we get to do.
My expectation is 1 day in DL, 1 day in CA, and 1 split day depending on favorites from the first 2 days. We can go rope-drop to park close (though grandma may need to head back to the room for a nap mid-day) and will do a single pass through each dark ride, probably not any shows or parades besides WOC (shedding a tear that fantasmic is closed), and will want to do multiple rides on star tours, space mtn, screamin', ToT, and BTMRR. I had a solid plan for WDW last year and it worked extremely well, but it was almost always built around EMH days.
