Picking Days of Week

[scrappinginontario]

We have a few traditions: 1st and last days - MK. 2nd day Epcot. Other days are decided using Touring Plans as I find their information accurate and helpful.

The secret of success is not what day you go. It's what TIME of day you go.

OK. It used to be just me and my husband, but now I have 4 grandchildren, and we are planning way differently now. I was going to go on Tuesday, but I saw they have the EMH where you pay the extra money and I thought that is going to make the park extra busy.

Early Morning Magic has zero effect on crowds.

EMH does not cost extra. You have access to that if you stay onsite. This time of year, the crowds on Tuesday are lower than other days because of the after-hours Halloween party. MK closes at 6 on party days.

I pick based on...

- when and where I was able to snag high-demand FPs, like FOP.
- morning EMH. We utilize it, and then park hop later if it gets crowded.
- if MK is having a party. We avoid non-party days.
- or whatever my wife wants.

I think I read on another site that Sunday and Tuesday, the week I am going is having the Early Morning Magic hours, where you get a breakfast and only Fantasy Land is open, and the cost is an extra $79 on top of your daily ticket.

I think I read on another site that Sunday and Tuesday, the week I am going is having the Magical morning hours, where you get a breakfast and only Fantasy Land is open, and the cost is an extra $79 on top of your daily ticket.

It’s called Early Morning Magic. It’s not the same as Extra Magic Hours.

I liked this analysis from Josh

https://www.easywdw.com/easy/blog/d...e-week-you-visit-disney-worlds-magic-kingdom/

and apparently my second link is banned, but here's the info that relates to you...

• Animal Kingdom is typically least busy on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. It’s busiest on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, particularly on days with morning Extra Magic Hours.
• Epcot is generally least busy on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Saturdays are typically busiest with most Tuesdays and Thursdays seeing longer waits than other weekdays.
• Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays are usually best for Hollywood Studios. Sundays and Fridays typically see higher attendance.
• Magic Kingdom is typically least busy on Tuesdays and Thursdays and busiest on Saturdays and Mondays.

Although in the end, it's good planning that will mater more than anything, ie picking priority fastpasses, using either rope drop or the end of the night properly, knowing which rides will build lines faster.

That’s funny. That’s almost exactly how I planned our upcoming trip.

Me too!
Just feel like that MK is the park we want to start and end and our vacation. We'll see if I keep to that plan when I make FP+; we have not been since FoP and SDD opened so those are the priorities over everything else.

I am using Touring Plans, worth every penny IMO for what you get.
