Our trip is 2 wks away!! Which park/which day would you choose?

[DaisyDuck88]

We have park hopper passes and will use them for Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon in the parks. Which park would you go to first each morning and why? We are offsite and I don't know how to factor EE into our planning!!

This is my plan right now:
5/30 Start in DL at 9 am (because it has a low crowd level and we just like going there on first day!)
5/31 not sure….enter DL early for Magic morning or go to DCA which opens at 9am and won’t have EE crowds????
6/1 start in DL at 8 am and go to DCA in evening
6/2 start at DCA at 8 am (the EE crowd will be there, DL evening)

A little info:
We are staying off-site and have MM for Saturday with our tickets. I plan to go to DCA each day to get fastpasses for RSR so we can ride it hopefully early afternoon or late evening each day.

This is the info I used to "strategize"

5/30 Friday
DL opens 9 am (crowd level 4) DCA opens 9 am (EE and Grad Night, level 8)

5/31 Sat.
DL opens 9 (we could use MM at 8, level 6) DCA opens 9 am (Grad Night, level 5)

6/1 Sunday
DL opens 8 (level 5) DCA opens 8 (EE and crowd level 8)

6/2 Monday
DL opens 8 am (level 6) DCA opens 8 am (EE and level 5)

THanks!

If I were offsite and did not have early entry as an option I would go to the park that does not have early entry to start off my day.

Have you checked out the Early Admission Superthread for tips yet? If not then check out the section titled-"I don't have EA!!!" for some good tips.

I agree completely with the PP. It sounds like you don't have park hoppers, so staying out of the park with EE is important.

Thanks for the input! I forgot to mention we do have park hoppers. DCA has early entry for every day we are there except Saturday. But that is MM at DL which we do have. So, I can't decide where to start that day. I thought about going to DL MM at 8 am and then trying to make DCA for opening at 9am...would that be crazy?

It would not be crazy, BUT....if it were me, I would start your day at DCA on that Sat. Why? It seems like everything I read lately is that MM have become more and more crowded on the 8am and 9am MM days. If you had a 7am MM I would maybe try to use it and then hop to DCA. I would want at least one day of my trip to start at DCA when you are not behind the EE guests.

If you REALLY want to use your MM, then I would only plan on using about 40-45 mins. of it so you can get to DCA before Rope Drop there.
