Magic Kingdom touring 2 days?

[NicholeB630]

Does it make since to tour Magic Kingdom broken up in two days this way?
First day - Rope Drop
Frontierland
Adventureland
Tomorrowland
Fast Pass - BTM, Splash Mountain & One other?
I would go straight to BTM first so we can ride it twice then make our way back down and then over to tomorrowland then by 11:30ish start Fast passes. Not worried about walking back up towards BTM as I'll need to burn off all my goodies I'll be eating.
That night we will do MNSSHP
Taking break and leaving park to eat at Kona then come back around 3:30 do Pirates league appointment for kids. Hoping to get their latest time slot which I believe is 3:30

Second day
Early morning CP breakfast - Hoping for 8am
Than head straight to Fantasyland.
Hit all the rides we can
Fast Pass - Mine train, Peter Pan and Haunted Mansion
Then just do things that aren't as crowded, meet characters, shows etc.

Years ago, when our DD was 2, that's what we did. MK has a lot of things to do and if you have the time, splitting it into 2 days would make for a fun & not so stressful trip.

We have two full days there. Well the second day we are going on a Party day as well so we'll need to leave by 7 but that will be no problem for us.

Get FPs for the Mine Train on both days. If you hit BTMRR early enough, you can basically walk on multiple times. We did that in June. This year, we're going with Splash, Space, and the Mine Train for our FPs on just about every MK day (we do 3).

We always spend two full days in MK. We go right one day and go left the second day

On party days we tend to relax and sleep in. My kids can't make it that late if they have to be there for RD. I would really recommend taking a break on your party day. What do you think about that? You can enjoy so many of the attractions at the party I really think you could relax a bit. Maybe you don't intend on staying until midnight? or later? maybe your kids are older?

My kids are 4 and 7. Well will be for trip. I don't think we will make it to midnight but I don't know if I can work another MK day in on one of our break days.

I worry that it is too jam packed of a day and that the kids and you will be wrecked the next day. I don't know you or your kids but there is no way we could do your day 1 and go to the party even just staying until Hallowishes and get out of bed the next day - definitely not for an early AM breakfast in the park. I might suggest skipping the party and saving it for another trip when they are a bit older. But you know your family best!

Our next day is a day off from park!! We will sleep in and relax at pool. Second MK day will be later in week!

OH! That makes so much more sense! I would still plan a little less on Day 1 - maybe you will do more but trying to be a little bit more relaxed on that long day will help in the long run.

Hmm Im totally understanding where you're coming from though and maybe I can rework it. Just not sure. Do you think being in the sun and pool earlier in the day though would make them just as tired? I want to make sure we get into MK though by like 3 for a pirates league appointment. This was my original plan for the entire week but maybe I can switch something and then just add another park day one of our off days and it just be half day since we could possibly relax before party. This is pending though when Easywdw calendar comes outs for Sept which days we do what.

Friday - Fly In
Saturday - Epcot all day
Sunday - Off day - Dinner 1900 Park Fair
Monday - AK am till Lunch then Epcot in evening
Tuesday - MK am break at Kona for lunch then MK halloween party
Wednesday - Ohana breakfast (9ish) then break rest of the day - Possible pirates cruise that night
Thursday - Hollywood studios till after lunch then back to hotel
Friday - Crystal palace early breakfast, MK till were ready to leave (7 at the latest)
Saturday - Boma Breakfast, break day
Sunday - Go home

How about this on your Tuesday
Sleep in, Relax have fun at the resort, have lunch at Kona go to MK use FPPs for a few rides until your Pirate's League Appointment then hit Adventureland and Frontierland before the party starts. You should be able to have a very nice late afternoon before the party - we have enjoyed everything in Adventureland and Frontierland between 4:30 and 7ish before MNSSHP. During the party you can still enjoy many attractions with little lines - not sure what your plan is for during the party. Then your Friday you can hit Fantasyland and any other favorites again.

Are you staying at the Poly? If so then I have no concerns about your Wednesday. If you are not - then I'd schedule Ohana after 10 because you'll need some time to get to the resort.

My only concern is I hear it gets crazy busy in MK between 4 and 7 because people trying to get into party and leaving and all the extra people coming in for party will be trying to ride rides too prior to the party. The last appointment for Pirates league is at 3:30 so we'd need to get there by 3 and then after that have time to spare. I just don't think we'd get as much don't as we would want to, compared to what we can do first thing in the morning. We are staying at AKL but my family wakes early even with late nights so I think we'd be fine with the 9/9:30 breakfast at Ohana plus were renting a car so no need to wait for transportation for that. Hmmm I don't know I'm gonna re look at our plan and see what I can do.

I agree go ahead and get to MK earlier than 4 pm for your appointment and other fun. The MK gates get busy with people coming and going but the park gets quite quiet. I think Josh on easywdw has some blogs on afternoons before a party. You know what is right for you and your family much better than I Have fun planning!

Definitely agree to split the park into 2 days. IF I were to change anything I'd take a day as Frontierland and Adventureland primarily (and you can extend if time permits, but the focus is on the 2 lands to assure everything is experienced) and the second day group Tomorrowland with Fantasyland (same approach as day 1, extend if time permits). That's how I typically do it and like it. It's a convenient break down. www.easywdw.com has some good touring plans for this if you care to look.

Not saying I don't like your plan, I do. Just offering an alternate view in case.
