Is it too much for one day?

[mikalkwin]

Hi everyone,

I think that FOMO got to me. One of my planned day (for late august) is the following :

Take the bus for AK at ~7am
Wild Africa Trek @8:45am
QS Lunch (Statuli canteen, mobile order)
ILL for FoP and G+ for NRJ
Break at YC between ~2pm to ~4:30pm
T-Rex ADR 6:00
Cirque du Soleil 8:00

If we omit the total cost of the day, is this realistic? Too much?

Thank you in advance,

I don't think it's too much at all! One park in the morning, then a long break at your resort, and then an evening in Disney Springs - sounds like a great day to me!

Other than what always seems like an excruciating wait for the AK to YC bus midday, It should be fine

Thank you both
Worst case scenario is I'll take a Minnie Van

I don't really see the point of G+ for one (mediocre) ride, which you might not be able to get. I'd do Lion King instead probably, and it's inside which is a plus in August. Bus from AK should be fine. You can take BC/YC or Boardwalk if you are desperate. Or Riviera and skyliner, if you are really desperate.

If your kids are little, that's a late show in the dark after a very early start...

I have G+ for the full length of my trip already. I'll think about doing the Lion King instead but it will depend on the time we finish the tour and the time we take to eat lunch.
My DD is 8 and should be fine with the end of the day.

Edit: I never did NRJ and the idea was also to have the Pandora land done so we don't come back for our next 2 AK days.

I don't think it looks like too much! In fact, I was thinking it wasn't much for a day, but it sounds like you have other AK days planned.

Something we learned the hard way - if you want to see the Lion King show, definitely use a G+ for that. I was shocked at how long the line was for that. If we'd gotten in line, we would have been waiting through 2 shows so that we could get in to see the 3rd one. No thanks! I am sad that we missed it though.

We actually have 12 park days total. I planned about 3 days for each park and many extras during those (Hoop dee doo, MNSSHP, H2O Glow), so many days actually need to be half-days of park. It is not a speed race, it is a marathon, that is why I don’t want to put too many things on 1 day so we can keep up the pace.

I don't see any issue there except the potential wait for a bus at AK. The resort buses seem to be very slow there.
That is much less than we normally pack into a day, but if you have 12 days, it makes sense.
