March itinerary

[kbkids]

Is this "doable" - is that a word? - the week of March 15th (Spring Break for Orlando schools, and mine too)?

Tuesday - take advantage of EMH for MGM - knock out the big rides (TOT, RnRC, Muppets, and Star Tours)
Then leave and go to AK until closing. I'm estimating getting to AK at 10:00 - am I kidding myself?
Leave AK after the parade and go back to resort for dinner.
Epcot around 7:00 - Test Track, Ice Station Cool, Illuminations.

Wednesday - MK

Thursday - hang out at resort in the morning, have lunch, then spend afternoon and evening at MGM (Parade, Playhouse Disney, Fantasmic)

Wednesday and Thursday, I'm not real concerned about. I've just never been during peak season, and I don't know if I'm kidding myself about Tuesday's schedule.

With using your time for EMH on that day I think it sounds doable but just be prepared for looooong lines during Spring Break during regular hours! You might just want to go to Epcot from AK and pick up some dinner ,maybe at one of the walk up eateriers.China is good and so are the fish n chips in Great Britian.

You'll really need to get to Fantasmic an hour or more before showtime to get a seat that evening.

Have a great trip!

I don't think you'll get to AK by 10:00 am. Give yourself about 30 minutes to get to the next park. This includes walking to the front of MGM, waiting for a bus to AK (or walking to your car), and getting through the turnstiles and security check point for AK. This means you'll need to have done all 4 attractions by 9:30 or only 1 1/2 hours. While it's possible things will all fall into place with you I've often found things take a little longer than originally planned. You might have a small line for TOT or RnR which causes you to miss the first Muppet show. You'll then have to wait about 30 mins for the next show. Someone may need a bathroom break, etc. And if you're going with kids I think it will take longer.

Still, I think you can be at AK by 11:00 am. However, are you staying at AK till closing or just until the parade. I think the parade is at 3:00 pm. I haven't checked the hours but I think AK is usually open until 5:00 pm. If you stay until closing you should be able to get most things done, but it will take some planning. Lines will be long for the safari and Kali River Rapids. Use FP. Also, check the schedule for show times and plan around that.

As for TT at Epcot, the FPs will probably be long gone by 7:00 pm. You may want to try the singles line. Grab a spot for Illuminations early if you want a good view.

Good luck.

Now, I had not thought about FPs being gone by that evening. See, I told you I wasn't used to peak season. That does create a problem, as Test Track is a must for my DD.

AK, she could take it or leave it, so if we miss some of the rides, she won't care. She likes the Rapids and playing in the Boneyard, but other than that, she's not a big AK fan. I love ITTBAB, and everyone just has to suffer through it for my sake.

Oh, and we're planning on leaving after the parade, so I'm assuming that will be at closing time. They don't have AK on the calendar yet, but looking at February's schedule, they're doing the parade at 4:00.

I guess we could do Epcot (Test Track) on check out day (Friday morning), since that is literally the only thing she wants to do there. Then we wouldn't be as rushed getting from AK to Epcot for Illuminations. I know I still need to be there by 8:00, at the latest.
