Need expert itin planners to help me work in Spectro and Illuminations

[ccgegg]

I just keep scratching my head at our itinerary, wondering how we'll work in Spectromagic and Illuminations. Maybe someone can help? (please?)
Our group includes me, DW, DD5, DS2, Mom66 staying at BWV.

Sun, Dec 11 early flight to MCO, check-in, walk to Epcot, CP dinner pkg (eat then 6:45 show)-- I don't think DS2 will make it til 9:30 this night
Mon, Dec 12 MGM with FDP (F! likely at 7pm)-- Perhaps take the boat to Epcot for 9:30 Illum??
Tue, Dec 13 MK with MVMCP
Wed, Dec 14 AK in the am, lunch, then head to Epcot
Thu, Dec 15 MK, then DTD in the eve
Fri, Dec 16 Epcot, then late afternoon flight home

I'm anticipating Spectro will run on non-MVMCP nights again this year. That only gives us Mon and Wed as options.

I'm begging the itin gods to help me figure out how to see Spectro. Is there something in my itin that we could re-work? The best option I see is to monorail to MK on Wed (Spectro should start at 6 or 7pm), but I'd rather avoid hitting MK just for Spectro. At least Wed night is currently EMH at MK... which we typically avoid, but at least it gives us more incentive to head over to MK.

Why not stay at MK on Thurs. the 15 and watch SpecrtoMagic then head over to DTD? If you don't want to go to MK just to see Spectro Magic. You could head over to DTD after that. If your little one is sleepy and your bringing a stroller then just push him around. It will make shopping easier this way! Or you could go over to DTD on your first night? I know from experience that my little one (2 at time) really didn't fall asleep all that early on our trip. She took a mid-afternoon nap in her stroller while we took a break under a tree and had a snack and it seemed to revive her. Hope this helps!

They won't have Spectro on Thu, Dec 15 because that's a MVMCP night. Mon and Wed are our only options. And I really want to do MGM on Mon because it's likely the day after its evening EMH. I'm a big fan of that strategy.
