Our Plan - What do you think?

[sconnell]

We will be in the parks Thursday, May 20 - Sunday, May 23
Thursday - MK - (first impression for friend & my DD2)

Friday - MGM - (for Star Wars, will Fri be less crowded than Sat or Sun?)

Sat - AK w/ dinner at RFC and MK for Spectro & Wishes

Sun - Epcot - prob sleep a little late and take slow (2 under 2) if we get done we might hop to something that we missed or wished we had bought (I have to think about things some times.
)

So, what do you think? Do these days look right? Any suggestions? We are going to be flexible and don't plan to go "commando" since we will have first timers, 2 under 2, and me preggy peggy.

Just a couple of notes:

MK will be PACKED on Saturday night for Wishes/Spectro.

Your scheduled EPCOT day is short (sleep in, hop elsewhere). IMHO, EPCOT usually requires two full days. I think you're cutting it too short.

Have fun!

A few questions...

Are you planning breaks away from the parks for part of the day?
Are you staying on site? (If so - do you have the info. on the extra hour trial during your visit?)
Are you able to park-hop?
Are you making a more specific itinerary to get your favorites in at the right times of day?

With little ones I wouldn't worry about Epcot. Although at least 1.5 days for Epcot is usually about right when the kiddies are a little older.

We are planning breaks in the afternoon.
We are not staying on-site. (Pinchin' pennies.)
But, we aren't trying to "get our money's worth" out of our 4 day PH.
We are going to take it pretty easy and don't have anything that we just have to ride. It's our DD's first time and we don't want to overwhelm her. Yet, it is my friend's first time and I don't want to underwhelm her.
We do have a more detailed schedule for rides that we know we need to do first thing and so forth. I know that Dumbo can line up fast, but honestly I'm not sure if DD will like it or be terrified of it. At AK we are going to try to do the safari first thing and then fit in some shows.
This trip is really going to be about the kids, we can plan another adult trip later. I know we can fit in some of the things that adults want to do, especially our DH's, they can just separate while the kids play or we go back for a nap.
Thank you for your imput! I was really wondering if anyone saw a problem with the days and events or crowds or something that I haven't thought of. I know that Saturday night will be crowded, but it's the only time that they are going to do Spectromagic while we are there and we really want to see that. That's why I figured we would go back to MK early and stake out a spot and relax. Then, because we would have been up so late, sleep in a little on Sunday. ( I mean a little, like 10 or 10:30, we plan to be at park opening other days.)
