Park days to schedule weekends vs. Extended Evening Hours

[stephaniepotato]

I've been planning my family's upcoming trip in April (traveling with two small children) and I had planned the below schedule. However, I just found out both my MK day AND my EPCOT day are going to be Extended Evening Hours days and we are NOT staying at a Deluxe Resort. How big of an impact would this be on crowd levels potentially? Should I re-arrange my park days. We're staying 5 nights at CBR and skipping HS for this trip.

• Saturday - Check in
• Sunday - Animal Kingdom
• Monday - EPCOT
• Tuesday - Resort Day / Rest
• Wednesday - Magic Kingdom
• Thursday - Check out

I'm wondering if I should do Magic Kingdom on Sunday now or just keep it on the Wednesday with Extended Evening hours? Does EEH impact crowd levels enough to switch park days to a Sunday?

Appreciate any and all advice. Thanks!

EEH have very little, if any impact on daytime crowds. You should be jut fine! IF you want to swap you could swap your MK and Epcot days but when my DD was younger I liked ending in the MK as there was so much for her to do there.

Now she'll be 15 on our next trip and her choice is we must always start and end in the MK.

What did you decide to do, I have the same scenario in May.

We’re keeping our MK on the Wednesday with extended evening hours. I wanted to do MK as our last park day. We’ll see!
