Hi all!! I have just planned a trip for me and 5 friends to go to WDW (some of them for their first time) over MLK weekend. Arriving late Friday night (13th) and leaving on Tuesday (17th). We are purchasing 3 day park hopper tickets as we only have 3 days for parks but want to be able to go to all 4 and jump around.
I am having trouble planning what days to dedicate to which parks.. I wonder if anyone could help me strategize this? Me and my bf who are arranging it are sun up to sun down all day in the parks with no rest kind of people. We're all fairly young and fit and have no children so it's doable for us.. I also realize this weekend will be crowded since its a holiday weekend. Can anyone give me any tips on this? TIA!!
We will be there that weekend. We are leaving the kids at home and taking a short adults only trip. I might not be the best person to ask, because I pretty much ignore the crowd calendars, we don't do rope drop, we never do EMH in the morning, and we always do MK EMH at night, so we ignore all the convential wisdom. LOL.
We arrive on Wednesday morning and leave on Sunday night.
Wednesday: arrive at MCO around 11AM, ME to the resort, drop stuff in the room and head to HS. FP at HS from 1:50 to 3:50 (first FP is a throwaway that we don't care about just in case we don't make it there in time) Maybe go back to the room for a couple hours, then hop to MK and stay for EMH. Normally we always go to MK first, but we want to do just a couple of hours in HS this trip so we can ride RnRC together, which we normally don't do because DS hates it.
Thursday: MK in the morning (FP starting at 10:05 until 12:30), back to room for a rest. In the afternoon we will either do a monorail bar crawl or hop to Epcot, and end the night at Epcot.
Friday: MK all day, our FP are all in the evening starting at 6:40. If we didn't do our bar crawl on Thursday, we will do it Friday afternoon.
Saturday: Epcot all day, with a room break in the afternoon. We plan to enjoy the new art festival thing that was just announced. I also have FP for Frozen, which has opened since we were last there.
Sunday: MK in the morning with FP from 9:10-1:00. Back to the resort and on ME around 3:45.
The only wrench in our plans is Rivers of Light. If Rivers of Light is open by the time we go, we will likely hit Animal Kingdom on Thursday night instead of Epcot. Otherwise, we are going to skip AK this trip, since DS13 is the big fan of AK, and he won't be with us.
