park hopping thoughts

[dez1978]

I have 2 days... I'd like to end the days at HS and Epcot as I've never seen any of their evening shows. Which park would you pick to do in the moring with HS?

Also on a 3rd non park day, I have xmas party tickets so I'll see all the nighttime stuff at MK then

If you mean Fantasmic at HS, it's still closed and has no reopen date.

no, I was thinking the TOT display and such

I’d not sweat hopping to DHS to see the “nighttime stuff” (such as it is) if, instead, going there first-thing would get you aboard some A-list DHS attractions. You COULD spend the entire day there.

We want to see galaxies edge lit up at night and the tot projections. We've been a few times with the kids and ridden the fancy rides. We are trying to take advantage of this trip to do/see the things we can't with kids. The only park we've ever managed to stay in past dinner is MK bc the kids are too tired. The other night is Epcot to see their fireworks. It's just 2 of us, so I will buy the ILL for ROTR and we can singler rider line RNRC and MFSR. That just leaves SDD as a "big" ride and without kids while I'd still like to ride it, it's not going to break my heart if we can't. I will try to snag a LL for it tho.

Hmmmm, two days and you want to end at HS and Epcot? You say you have party tickets for MK so you have night covered there but you don't mention day there.

What I would do. On HS day go to AK in the morning, it tends to close down early anyway so you can more than likely get everything you want to do there in 1/2 to 3/4 of a day (I love AK and tend to spend parts of more than one day there during my trip). Maybe hit Nomad Lounge for a light lunch/drinks while you are at AK. That morning you can book your LL or Genie + for HS later in the day, heck you might even be able to get SDD if you hit it right at 7. Personally, if I were going for relaxed I'd skip the LL and Genie + and just do stand by, night time at HS will slow down some.

Do the morning at MK on your Epcot day, since you have a party there at night you can hit a few rides then so you could easily just do MK until 2 when you are eligible to hop. Then spend the afternoon/evening at Epcot. You should be able to hit a few rides in the afternoon, graze at the holiday booths in WS and see the night time show. All four parks are hit, you aren't really rushing through any of them since you are not worrying about hitting all the "must dos" and are aiming for a relaxing trip.

That was exactly my plan, ak/hs and mk/epcot. But then I stress and second guess myself lol and wanted to see what others would do. AK I think I could just get thru on stand by and early entry for the most part and start stacking LL for later in the day at HS. Tho we are staying at the Hilton in DS so while we get early entry, I can't book LL until 9 (right?)

This is 100% different than my normal trips of rushing to get everything done in the morning and having to work around kids wants and needs so I feel lost lol.
