Hi All,
This is my first post to this forum- need thoughtful advice on what's best for our short trip in Oct.
Here's my dilemma. My sister and I are going to WDW with our two 7 yo sons over Colombus Day weekend. My sis and I haven't been since 1975 (!) and it will be a first trip for our sons. We arrive in the aft of Sat., and leave Wed. AM. So, we have three full days, and an extra park evening on Sat (I think for MK and SpectroMagic). I am the "planner," and feel a responsibility to come up with the best itinerary, cost-wise and parks-exposure-wise.
I keep going back and forth between doing MNSSHP and not doing it. Here's my dilemma. If we do the party on Tuesday the 12th, we definitely will take the AM off from the parks, toodle around and rest. So we "lose" a park AM. But if the lines at the party aren't too long, maybe it's worth it? The Unofficial Guide says not to do it for the attractions, to do it for the extra stuff. But as it's our first visit, maybe we don't need the extra stuff? And then others say the lines are short, so it *would* be good for the attractions. Hmmmm.
If I knew the boys could last til the end (skip the first parade and just do rides then, and catch the second parade, for example), I'd be more willing to give up the AM park. Ahrg, I know this isn't a big decision, but somehow I can't make it!
Thanks for any advice,
Erica
