Itinerary Help Please

[tatoet]

DH, DS5 and I will be visiting DW for the first time and staying at CSR. I am working on our itinerary and looking for some opinions. Here it is:

9/24 Arrive at MCO at 10:30 am-in afternoon/evening HS (Fantasmic 8 pm) or MK (Wishes 8 pm) or do you suggest something other than a park?
9/25 EP
9/26 MK, dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe and possibly watch Electrical Water Pageant there
9/27 AK, Mickey's Backyard BBQ at night
9/28 DTD or resort day, MNSSHP party at night
9/29 possible day trip to Clearwater Beach
9/30 MK (Wishes 9 pm) or HS (Fantasmic 8 pm)
10/1 HS (Fantasmic 8 pm) or MK (MSEP 8 pm, Wishes 9 pm)

What do you suggest for our arrival day and which park should we choose for 9/30 and 10/1? We have 6 day park tickets, no hopper. Our flight leaves at 11 am on 10/2.

Hi!

I would suggest doing mk the day you get there with wishes at 8pm. Especially because it is your first trip, there is nothing like seeing the castle and watching wishes for your first time on your first day. It sets the magic for your whole vacation. Also I would suggest the same for your last day because then your saying goodbye to castle. Thats what my family does at least. Now after years of going i couldn't imagine starting or ending with a different park. I would do fantasmic the 30th then. Hope that helps with your decision making! otherwise your trip looks great

MK will likely be crowded on Oct. 1st due to the fact that there is a MSEP scheduled that day and there isn't one the day before or after. It's possible that could change, but if it doesn't, I would avoid MK on Oct. 1st. (Unless you want to see the parade, as it looks like that may be your only chance if Disney doesn't add more MSEP to September's schedule.) So, if avoiding crowds is your goal - then definitely do MK on the 30th. If seeing the parade is a goal, then do MK on the 1st. HTH
