Is it necessary to use Extra Magic hour

[tikilyn]

during December? We well be there from the 6th - 13. We are not planning to go commando(is that the right word?), we're in no hurry but will be spending all day in the parks taking our time just to enjoy the parks. Of course we will have my dd 4 and ds 18 months (who by the way loves sleeping in their strollers!).

TIA

It might be a good idea to go to EE at the MK, especially since you have young children. We did the MK EE and MGM (since we wanted to go on ToT lots of times). If you are early risers then you might want to consider EE, but if not it might not be worth it. Keep in mind that if you are going at a slow time that having the extra hour in the parks might nice since the parks close early.

My DW and DS went to the parks a few years ago at the beginning of Dec. I was attending a conference and could not go. She said that it was the best time ever, no lines for anything. The EE hours would probably be nice to see the parks as empty as possible, but at least when they went the parks were quite empty.

Our kids (DD4 & DS3) are early risers, so I am building EMH into our itinerary. Unlike yours, however, our kids do not like to sleep in their strollers, so we'll be going back to our room for afternoon breaks and/or naps. We are also in a condo. so we'll be eating breakfast in our room. The kids are normally up between 6:30-7:00, so we'll get ready, eat breakfast and then head out to the EMH park. We'll stay there until late morning then head back to the room for lunch. After lunch, we'll have some down time before hopping to a different park in the afternoon/evening. Ultimately, given the time of year you're traveling, if you're going to spend the full day at the parks and this won't have an adverse impact on your kids you probably won't really need to do EMH tp experience all of the attractions you want.
