Need Advice for 3rd week of Nov. please

[thr33boys]

I cannot come up with a touring plan I'm set on for the first half of our trip. If you're up to the challenge, what touring plan would you pick for Nov 16-19? We have 5 day + bonus tickets. I'm not opposed to upgrading to hoppers if they will be of use to us. I've looked at Josh's recommendations and I'm still undecided.

The 2 options that are obvious to me are;

Nov 16 - EP, hop to MK for evening
Nov 17 - HS - closes at 4pm (expecting low crowds and being able to get lots done)
Nov 18 - Blizzard Beach
Nov 19 - MK - closes at 7pm

If we got hoppers, I would hop to HS later in the week for the Osborne Lights/Fantasmic

Nov 16 - HS
Nov 17 - MK - closes at 7pm
Nov 18 - EP, hop to MK for evening
Nov 19 - Blizzard Beach


Any insight is greatly appreciated as my 180+10 opened yesterday. Epcot is only a half day park for us and I'm saving AK for our last day. I know I'm in the minority but I want to save FOTLK for the end, love that show!

I'm sorry, but what questions are you asking?

What dates are the first half of your trip?
What dates are the second half of your trip?
When are you going to AK?
I am 100% lost.

Haha, in my head it's all very clear. Above post is the first part of my trip. I didn't include the 2nd part because it would be the same in either scenario.

the 2nd half is

Nov 20 - resort day
Nov 21 - things we want to redo or things we missed
Nov 22 - AK

What I am asking is, which of the two scenarios in my original post would be the better plan to follow?

You know you've picked a low crowd week when the parks are closing at 7pm or 8pm every night, so you have that going for you.

You didn't mention MVMCP so I'm guessing you aren't doing that? You also didn't mention fireworks at all? If you don't care about fireworks, then theoretically you'd want to do MK on a MVMCP party day. But if you do want to see fireworks, then a non-party is your best bet, but park might be busier that day.

You have 5 day ticket with the water park add-on? Note that with a 5-day ticket, you can add additional days for only $10 each. I don't know exactly how much it is for a park hopper add on for a ticket with water park admission, but I'm sure it's more than $10. Meaning instead of hopping to see Osbourne lights at HS, you could skip the hoppers, and go on your resort day or Blizzard Beach day and save money.

If you're going to spend an entire day hanging out at the resort, I would switch that to Saturday, and do a park on Friday, just because the parks will be busier in general on the weekends.
