October trip questions?

[chrissy92972]

Hi! We have a trip planned from Wednesday October 11th until Tuesday October 17th. We are staying in the suites at All Star Music. Family of 6 with 3 year old triplets and 7 year old ds. We have 5 day hoppers non water.

Do these days for the parks make sense or is it better to goto the park with the Early Entry Hours on that day?

Thursday MK hours 9-6 early AM
Friday MGM hours 9-7:30
Saturday Epcot regular hours
Sunday AK 9-5 and MK for parade and Wishes
Monday tbd

We will not be doing the Halloween Party, will not have the dining plan and the only reservations we have are for Rainforest at Downtown Disney on arrival day and for Rainforest for my ds's birthday on Sunday at AK.

Since we won the JIF trip we cannot have the dining plan. We won 4 nights and are paying for the extra two.


Thanks!
Chrissy

If you go to www.touringplans.com, you can see which parks will have the lowest attendance for which days and plan around that. The only EMH I recommend is the MK. It is awesome for getting all the Fantasy Land rides done for the lttle ones. That EMH is on Thursday so that should work out fine. Also you might want to switch EPCOT to Friday or Monday. It will be really crowded on the weekend due to locals attending the Food & Wine Festival.

I'm a big fan of going to EE mornings especially at MK. You can get SO much done by 11:00a - 12:00p and then you can take a break and do another park in the afternoon.

I also try and avoid the EMH evenings, especially at MK.

If you have any other questions, just ask!

Hi!
I'm not sure what you're looking for but I'll give it a go!

Are you planning on going to the moring EMH at the MK on Thursday? If so I'd only stay until it got crowded. With kids the ages of yours you'll love the extra time in Fantasyland! It might get too crowded for you in the afternoon so you may want to hop to another park. It might be a nice evening for Epcot since you'll probably want to avoid the World Showcase on the weekends. The Food and Wine Festival will be going on and it's VERY popular with the locals and all of Epcot is busier on the weekends due to this. I'd see Epcot during the weekdays, maybe Thursday night and on your Monday TBD day. When my kids were little we found we did best with a morning in the parks, lunch and a rest at the resort and an evening in a different park.

Also, I think kids the ages of yours would love a character meal! Eating in the castle has gotten very $$$ but Chef Mickey's and Crystal Palace are both really fun and cost quite a bit less.

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for your help. We will goto MK for EMH on Thursday, Epcot on Friday, MGM on Saturday, and AK on Sunday. I think we will also park hop to Epcot Thursday night for a while and then on Friday night park hop to MK for fireworks. I really appreciate everyones great advice.
