Hey all..........I had originally posted this on the Theme Parks board, but thought maybe some of you Families posters might help. I am so torn about what to do when traveling with my Mom and my daugther. I am debating extra MK time......or just extra rest. I'd love ALL OPINIONS!
We (Me-28, Mom-60, and daugther 2, almost 3) are going to WDW from September 14-21st.
We are arriving late Friday the 14th and departing early Saturday the 21st.
My plans so far are:
Saturday, September 15: MGM Studios. Go at opening and get Tickets for the Playhouse Disney Live! Show. Hit the regular Playhouse Disney show, maybe the Great Movie Ride, Little Mermaid show and Beauty and Beast. Have a late lunch at 50s Prime Time. Other than that, there is not really a whole lot for us to do with a two year old. We also might hit the Honey I shrunk the Kids playground, but really.......I don't know how long we will be there.
Sunday we will hit the Little Ones EMH at the MK. We have ADRs at Crystal Palace. I'm thinking we will leave around 1:00 and head back to POP for a rest. Then, we'll go back to the MK for as long as the little one can handle it.
Monday we are doing AK. We'll be there for EMH early and then hit the Safari, Dinoland, and some of the trails. We are eating at Donald's Restaurantasauras. I am thinking we'll be done here around 1 or 2, head back to POP and then dunno what for the evening.
Tuesday we are doing Epcot. We'll be there for EMH at 8. Try to hit Soarin' (the 2 year old is iffy on her height, so we shall see) if Soarin' is not open we'll do the attractions in the land until Nemo opens, ride Nemo, maybe see Crush, then head over to Norway for the Princess Breakfast. After the breakfast we will hopefully travel the Showcase while the little one sleeps in the stroller. We will probably leave around 3 or so, depending on the nap.
Wednesday and Thursday we are doing MK, with a break for a little rest.
Anyway, I am debating upgrading our Tickets to Hoppers for the MGM, AK, and EPCOT days. We could head to the MK during those evenings. But, then I think......the MGM day I am sure we will be tired from traveling the day before. If I can avoid the 2 year olds nap that day, she will be in bed around 7 or 730 that night and it might be welcome for me and my mom, plus we have to wake up early the next morning. Also with the Epcot and AK days, maybe we would enjoy just playing at the resort and relaxing those evenings. Also, it would cost abuot 90 bucks for the hoppers, which is a nice chunk fo change.
My mom has never been to WDW but has been to DL, but I wanted to show her around. I also debated skipping AK for an extra day at MGM but I would kinda like for her to see it. On the other hand, she hates being hot, and I have heard AK can be miserable. Okay..........as you can see I am very torn. Thoughts and or opinions?
