MK Days back to back?

[newestkg06]

We'll (Me, DH, DS 7, DS 4) be going in September (20-27) and I'm curious what people think about the distribution of the parks. I've been looking at crowd calendars, but MNSSHP is totally messing with things.

Sat - arrive and go to DD
Sun - AK
Mon- Epcot
Tues - MK Day 1 (its a MNSSHP night)
Wed - HS
Thurs - MK Day 2 (It's a EMH morning with 2 MSEP's and Wishes)
Fri- SeaWorld
Sat - Legoland

I'm really looking forward to our Tues at MK because it's rated a crowd level 2 and should be really nice touring. I'm worried that even though Thurs is also a level 2, it's one of the few nights with Wishes and with EMH (which we would definitely take advantage of!) it will be busy and just generally more crowded and not fun. SO....I'm think of swapping things around and going on Wed, but then we're doing MK two days in a row. Which seems overwhelming to me. I don't know. Am I just being stupid? I also don't really like front loading Disney so much, but that seems to follow the crowd calendars the best. Any ideas? Or should I just relax that we are going during a less crowded time and follow a good touring plan?

1. I'm think of swapping things around and going on Wed, but then we're doing MK two days in a row. Which seems overwhelming to me.

2. Or should I just relax...

1. Thousands of guests go to the same park on back-to-back days.

2. Yes, that.

 

[newestkg06]

Yes, I know. Relax. Deep breaths. I'm sure they won't even remember what day we did what.

I like back to backs. I make Day 1 more gung Ho, hitting all rides so day 2 I can kick back relax, meet some characters etc.

If things stay the same MK will be open till late on Saturdays. At the end of August MK is open till 2:00 am on Saturdays. Why not go there on day one after DD and make it a late night?

What crowd calendar are you using? If touringplans.com they recently updated their predictions for that week. (I know because my DD and I are going the same week.)

We were going to do MK on Thursday but it is now rated a 6 so we are doing back to back on Tues+MNSSHP/Wed. (rated- Tues-1 and Wed-4)

Also, I believe the electric light parade and wishes is on Wed.

I usually compare touring plans to easyWDW and take a blend of their recommendations. Just another idea for you.

Good luck and we'll see you there!

BTW, you may also want to verify the EMH schedule too. I've heard it have recently changed too... not sure if it affects your days because I usually don't attend the extra hours.

 

[newestkg06]

I like the idea of doing one commando day followed by a more relaxed day, and that schedule will lend itself to that.
I'm following EasyWDW and I think he has the more updated EMH hours and parade schedules. But, who knows, they may switch stuff up again, right?
All I can say is that I am so grateful to have two boys who don't need to meet Anna and Elsa (or any other princess). We'll meet Mickey and a few others, but so much less stress. I feel for you princesses!
