Night time Itinerary Help

[placeela]

You guys have been so great with all your help for my DL trip. I have one more thing that I am getting a little stuck on. We (DH, me, DS11, DD9) have 3 day military park hoppers. We will be in the parks Wednesday May 25th, Thursday May 26th, and Saturday May 28th. Wednesday is a grad nite. We would like to see WOC one night and PtN and Fireworks the other night. I am trying to decide which night to do which activity. I would like to plan something Wednesday and also Thursday and use Saturday as a backup if something is cancelled. I need to decide because I want to make lunch reservation at Carthay Circle with a WOC fastpass. I am just not sure how grad nite plays into this. Should I see WOC on a grad nite (don't they get their own show late that night)? Or should I do WOC on Thursday (not a grad nite)? I am not sure if the seniors tend to stay at DL to see that nighttime show and then come to DCA or if they come to DCA earlier. Thanks for your help!

On the 2 grad nites I was there last year the seniors stuck around DL through the first parade and fireworks and even later. Therefore, I would do WOC on a grad nite!

(Ok... full disclosure I was scarred by our attempt to watch PTN and fireworks on a grad nite. We arrived by monorail and the family was so miserable by the time we made our way through Tomorrowland, in a never ending sea of people most of whom were very rude seniors that particular night, that we ducked into the plaza inn patio and literally hunkered down around a table for the next 2 hours. And even there it was crazy. So my experience isn't necessarily the norm lol!)

Sorry you had a bad experience! What you are describing is what I was imagining might happen. I was thinking they might hang out in DL for awhile so I think I will plan to see WOC on a grad nite and PTN the next day. Thanks for your insights!
