Leaving for DL today!! a few ?

[beaumont1965]

First trip to DL with m y two DD ages 7 & 9. We have a 5 day hopper pass, one day of EE and tickets for Morning Madness and I also want to take them to breakfast with Minnie. Our days at Disney will be Thursday - Monday. WHat are the best days to do the EE, breakfast and Morning Madness? What parades, fireworks etc are going on during these days.

Thanks for your help.

Are you staying onsite? If so, you can use EE Thursday, Saturday, AND Monday. If not, I recommend using it on Thursday because you won't be as tired, and you will be more willing to wake up early. Use Morning Madness on Friday. I recommend eating breakfast on Sunday because Saturday will be the most crowded and you will want the most time in the park.

Here's the link for the DL calender listing all entertainment.

We are staying at the HoJo. Thursday morning we were thinking of going to Target etc to stock up on water, juice, food and for the girls to pick out a t-shirt, sweatshirt and stuffy as funds are tight so we don't want to purchase anything in Disney.

In that case, I would do EE on Saturday.

Where is the Target located from HOJO? we are also staying there and it would be nice to know where it is located to pick up a few snacks, etc... so we dont have to bring them along with us on the airplane.

I know you want to go to Target early, but Thursday will probably be the least crowded day of your whole trip. If it was me, I'd try to do as much as possible on Thursday, so you can take it easy later in the trip. There's nothing worse than saying we'll do that later, and then never getting to it. JMO.

Since I'm not one who shops for food at Target, I'd like to remind you that there's a Von's (AKA Safeway, a grocery store) nearby.

Also, what about going to the Disney outlet right around there, instead of Target, for sweatshirts etc? It's not a given that they'll have something you want, but it might be a more fun place to start.

Yeah I said that a few times to stuff we never got around to doing. Some of it was in my head so my wife couldn't help remind me.

If you see something you want to do......DO IT right then, or you probably won't get to it.

Thursday is a great day for EE!! I second that suggestion if you can work it in! We just got back and did our EE on Thursday. It was a great day to do it. We were able to do a lot of Fantasy Land rides that got busy later. I think the other days that EE is available while you are there may be busier.

At any rate, have a fantastic trip!!

I would suggest using EE on Thursday and going to Target that afternoon. Maybe leave the park around 12pm to 1pm. Go back to your room for about an hour and then head over to Target.

If you do the EE on Thursday you should be able to get Fantasyland done plus Pirates, Haunted Mansion and Winnie The Pooh by 1pm. I would get a fast pass for Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain to use when you come back to the park. If Thunder Mountain does not have long lines I would do that right after Fantasyland and then head over to Pirates.
