Labor Day 2015 - Please critique my plan!

[BlondeAppetit]

Next September we will be traveling to WDW for Labor Day weekend.

We will be staying one night at Wilderness Lodge (we like to stay somewhere different on our travel day and I just pack a small overnight bag with PJs, bathing suits, change of clothes) and the remainder of the trip at the Poly - Club Level.

This will be the first trip for our entire family - as our 2 year old daughter will be joining us this year! Our other daughter will be six at the time of the trip. Both girls will be celebrating their late Summer birthdays.

We will be driving down from SC. Please review my tentative plan. We will not be on the dining plan.

We were just there this past Labor Day for the long weekend. We were surprised at how low the crowds were for a holiday weekend. DHS had more people due to the Frozen events.

Your plan sounds great, especially with mid-day breaks for you and the kids. We absolutely love MNSSHP and surely you will, too! Keep in mind, there are late EMH hours I believe from Friday night until Sunday night until 2am in MK! We didn't stay that late with DD but it is great to get on rides without long standby lines at night. Most people leave after the fireworks. Since you are staying at Poly for the majority or your trip, coming back to the park for the evening wouldn't be that bad with the monorail.
