Need Some Help with my Itinerary

[decker96]

We (me, DH, DD8, DS5, DD2) are going to Disney Oct. 19-24 and staying at the Poly.
I've got the first few days of our itinerary down, but I'm looking for some advice on our last two days.

Here's what I have so far.

Wed. Oct. 19
Arrival --early evening
7:30 PS at Ohana

Thurs. Oct 20 (my parents are joining us on this day)
8:00 Char. Break. at Chef Mickey's
Morning -- Magic Kingdom until after lunch (counter service)
Back to hotel for nap/swim
Evening -- Epcot
PS at Biergarten 5:45

Fri. Oct 21
Morning -- MGM
Afternoon -- naps for everyone
Evening -- MNSSHP (my parents are joining us for this too)
PS at CRT -- 4:45

Sat. Oct. 22
Sleep in
Head to DTD mid to late morning
Shop and then meet my parents and grandma for lunch

Now is where I need some help. We still want to do AK and go back to Epcot and maybe MGM.

Right now I'm thinking maybe we should do Epcot in the afternoon/evening on Sat. and then go to AK on Sunday do everything we want to do there and then head over to MGM later on. But, Sunday is evening EMH for MGM so I'm concerned about crowds.
We could also go to MGM on Sat. afternoon/evening and then do AK on Sunday with Epcot when we get done.

What do you suggest?

Our plane leaves at 1:15 Monday afternoon, so we won't be doing any parks that day.

I would go with MGM Saturday afternoon. You should try to catch Fantasmic and really would catch Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Muppets, maybe Playhouse Disney for the little ones. That should work out fine.

Sunday, I would do AK and an evening at Epcot. If Sunday is EMH at MGM, I'd stay away from what I have heard. Plus, I don't think they have too much going on for the kids during EMH at MGM.

You won't see everything at AK in half a day, but you'll get a good feel for it and it'll make you want to see more NEXT time!!!

Thanks for your input! I had also read that evening EMH at MGM was VERY crowded so I think we will definitely stay away from that!
