Need opinions about my itinerary

[LoveMyLAP-BAND]

Hi everyone. My question for this post really is about the three days that I have NOT sceduled a break. Do you think, based upon my itinerary, that those non-break days are okay? We are going first week of December with DS9, DS5 and DD4 and we will have strollers.


Saturday- arrive, pool
Sunday- MK from opening until around 1pm, break, Epcot from 6 until after IllumiNations
Monday- MGM from opening until after the Osborne Lights at 6pm (not staying for Fantasmic) and most of my plans for the day are the shows. Do you think it's okay to stay the whole day. Plans after leaving are just to chill at the hotel.
Tuesday- Epcot from opening until around 1:00, break, MVMCPy from 6 until midnight
Wednesday- sleep in, pool, dinner at 1900 Park Fare
Thursday-AK from opening until closing with no break. Do you think that is okay? I can't see how to get everything in and still take a break since the park closes at 5. Dinner plans are Boma at AKL- if the kids are up to it.
Friday- EPCOT from opening until 5:00- again no break. The reason I did this was to see Living Seas and then WS without crowds. Dinner at 5:00 at the Garden Grill, then back to the hotel to chill. Do you think we should take the break and do WS in the evening?
Saturday- MK from opening until 1:30, break, back to MK for just Wishes and Spectro
Sunday- go home :-(

We never go back for breaks. But we dont tour commando all the time. If we are tired we sit down or take a nice long lunch and just sit and talk about our day or we go on some attractions and shows where we can sit.

To me, it sounds like it will be fine but we are all adults and we dont have any kids. That may be where your problem will be. Sometimes kids need breaks. But if they are anything like me when I was that age, I would wear you out and not the other way around

It seems that the long days have free nights so that may work out ok, depending on your kids. I have never managed to stay an entire day at AK so you may finish earlier than closing. My only comments would be on the MK days - it seems that you will not be there very long, about 3 hours. That will go by very fast and out of all the parks, that will probably be the most fun for the kids. Also, when I was at MVMCP this past Dec, it was very crowded and cold. We only stayed until 9:30. Since you will see the fireworks during the MVMCP, maybe spend more time the last day at MK without the return at night. If it's sunny and warm during the day, I would take advantage of that.

It depends on your kids. After your first full day, you may find out it would be a bad idea to do the 2nd two. There have been times where a slower period in the afternoon was okay for us, instead of going back to the resort for a break, and there were times that there was no way we could skip going back to the room if we had plans later in the evening. We try to schedule some flexibility.

I would suggest breaking up Friday. Two full days back to back may prove to be difficult.
