MVMCP or Additional Park Day

[Swartele805]

Looking for an opinion on adding another park day versus MVMCP. We are a family of 2 adults and a 7 year old boy. Currently planning on doing 1 day at AK and Epcot and 2 days each at MK and HS (1 day at each park would be shorter as we would go on a party day and need to leave earlier, the 2nd day we would close each park). For our remaining day we are contemplating either resting then MVMCP or just having another leisurely park day (thinking Epcot again)? Do you think the entertainment, fireworks and parade at the party differ enough from a normal night at MK to make the party and hence a 3rd trip to MK worthwhile or do you feel like there is a better place to spend this extra time and money?
Appreciate all suggestions . Thank you!!

Tentative plan:
Fri - resort hop, character meal
Sat - AK
Sun - MK on party day
Mon- HS on party day
Tues - Epcot
Wed - MK on non party day
Thurs - MVMCP (or HS if not doing party)
Fri- HS (or additional park day at any park if not doing party)

If the budget permits I would choose MVMCP. There’s a large cost difference between adding a 6th day to your ticket vs buying a party ticket.

We live the parties and all that they have to offer.

More entertainment, character meet and greets, free cookies, nighttime parade at parties than regular day

How is your son about a late night ( 7 PM to 12 AM for the MVMCP. ) and then and then a full park day starting the next morning?

He would be fine with the late night and have no problem staying up, but I am bit unsure about how well he would tolerate the next day. The plan would be to have a later start around lunch time the next day. Just not sure if the extras at the party (after having 2 other days at MK) would be worth the extra cost or of we would enjoy an extra day at Epcot more with a significantly lower cost.

MVMCP is fantastic. If it's in the budget and your son can stay up late, I would recommend going. If you are going to do the rides on other days, you could really focus on the party-specific offerings.

Do MVMCP. The reduced attendance and extras are worth the costs. Keep in mind you can access the park at 4pm, so you can relax in the morning and still get 8 hours in the park. MK late on party nights are magical, with decorations and snacks, and you can almost walk on most attractions later in the evening.

Personally an extra day at MK would be my choice. In my opinion the parties are not worth the cost. But then I am very stingy.
