Is this a crazy attempt at 4 Parks?

[Disney Spaz]

Here goes. DH, 2 DS's 14 &13 and I have 2 full days, Oct. 31st and Nov 1st in WDW and Nov 2nd until 5pm and want to try to see all four parks. I know I sound crazy but hear me out. I am thinking all day Sunday 10/31 at MK then hop to Epcot when MK closes early for MNSSHP, Monday 11/1 AK in the morning since it is EE day and then Epcot for the evening, minimual time in WS. Finally Tuesday 11/2 MGM until we head back to POP for pick up from towncar at 5:30PM. We don't do a lot of the younger rides and I am hoping for low park attendance because of the days we will be there. Does this sound doable to anyone else or should my DH put me in the straight jacket now?

If you got the energy and willing to lace them tennys and walk fast.Good luck and have a great time and hey if you miss a couple things you catch them on next trip.

I forgot to include that we are going again for Christmas 2004 for 8 nights so what we don't do is just held over for two more months. This trip was more of a mom's going crazy at her new job let's give her an extended weekend in the happiest place on earth gift.

I think since your kids are older you could pull it off - as long as it stays fun and not too stressful.

Personally, I always do MK and or AK in the morning and Epcot and MGM in the evenings so your plan would work for me. I would make sure everyone has a couple "must do" attractions and try and hit at least one on everyones list.

I would suggest you try and schedule a few PS for late lunch to make sure everyone has a chance to rest and cool off in addition to having a healthier alternative to fast food.

Have fun

I think it is do-able. I would do AK in the am & MGM in the pm. Personally I think both are half day parks. If you do MGM at night you can see Fantasmic. That would give you a bit more time for EPCOT.

Since Sunday is an EE day at MK make sure you get there by that early opening time. Sincee you don't do a lot of the younger rides it should take long to do MK. Spend the first hour doing whatever you want in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, then you can head to the other lands. I would be ready to leave MK by noon or at least early afternoon, which would leave plenty of time to see a lot in Epcot.

I agree with TJ--have acouple of must-sees from each person and then you add a couple more that you think should be on the list if they don't include them in the list.

Sounds like fun!

It looks like a good plan to me and since you will be coming back in December you don't have to be too worried if your plans change a little. Have a great trip!

I really like the idea of getting to all 4 parks, especially since you will be back in December. I would much rather get a taste of all 4 than to not go to a park at all. With the ages of your kids I think it is very doable, and have fun!

 

[Disney Spaz]

Thakns for everybodies support. My DH thinks that I might be streching it but with two teenage boys who never run out of energy I think we will be okay. Plus coming back in December helps. Finally thanks tjmw2727 for the ideas about the PS I think we will be trying that without a doubt.

Are you Disney regulars or is this your first trip lately? We've gone for that amount of time a couple times and always omitted AK b/c it's our least favorite park. Your schedule would work for us, except we wouldn't be happy waiting until the last day to hit MGM Studios since ToT is the single favorite attraction for three of the five of us.

I think Oct. 31 at MK might be crazy and you might not be able to do all of the Mountains and other must-dos before it closes for the Halloween Party. I, personally, would skip AK since you are going to be back in December. You could add a little more MK time that way and not be so rushed--maybe more meal time, the Boardwalk, or just hanging out at the pool. I also like MGM at night. You could do Epcot Monday morning and then take the boat over to MGM that evening. I love riding Tower of Terror at night.

I find that the bus transportation to and from AK always takes longer and you have the longest waits for busses when you leave. If you must do all four parks, I think you have the perfect plan. I did 4 parks in 3 days and wished we had skipped AK.

Piece of cake!

We've done all 4 in a day-now there's some moving!

Have a great time!

 

[kidd_freeper]

We have a very similar plan. Me, wife, daughter (12), son (5), nephew (14).

Sat, Oct 30 - MK all day. no PS
Sun, Oct 31 - AK morning, MGM evening. PS for Mama Melrose FDP
Mon, Nov 1 - MGM or MK morning, Epcot evening. PS for 50s PTC and San Angel Inn

We are Disney regulars. Last year we went 4 times the last being Nov. 2003. The reason we are trying to hit all the parks is that MK id my fav. DH's fav is Epcot, DS (14) fav is MGM and you guessed it DS (13) fav is AK. So it is like who do we leave out? Who ends up not getting to go to their fav. park? Thanks everybody.

 

[ChairborneRangr]

personally I would do
10/31 am EE at MK transfer at lunchtime
10/31 pm MGM through fantasmic
11/1 am EE at AK transfer at lunchtime
11/1 pm Epcot Center through Illuminations
11/2 unscheduled fun till 5pm

You miss out on wishes and the AK parade, but should be able to get a great "Overview"

 

[Leota]

Sounds totally doable & very similar to what we have done on quick jaunts. Since you aren't new to the Parks, you know what your families favorites are & where you are going. Since you are regular guests, you know you can always see anything you missed on your next go-round.
Have Fun!
