Plan of attack for presidnet's week

[kilee]

We are going next week. It is turning to peak season that week and I am hoping to avoid massive crowds with this plan of attack. We will be staying off site for a week but are only doing the parks for 3 days. I picked Sunday 2/16 for Epcot, Monday (president's day) for MGM, and Tuesday for MK. I tried to avoid each park on EE. Usually it seems like MK is the most crowded. I am hoping that by Tuesday some of the crowds will of thinned out there. What do you think? I have been worrying so much (dh doesn't do well in huge crowds).

I'll be there the same time but we're planning to go to Epcot on Monday, 2/17, since it's larger so we thought it might handle the President's Day crowds better. I'm sure it will be crowded the whole time we're there, but maybe more on Monday since many people have the day off and locals will probably come.

We are there all week and I noticed that MK cuts it's hours after Tuesday. I really wanted to catch Spectromagic and Tuesday it the last day for it on this trip.

I think Tuesday would be good for MK since I think it'll be most crowded on Sunday and Monday so maybe most people will do other parks on Tuesday.

See you all there!!! We are planning Spectro Magc for Tuesday. We are doing MGM Mon. AM & TOD in the PM followed by an Illuminations cruise.

Can't Wait

President's week was something I was blissfully unaware of, as I am Canadian. I went during the flood in 2001, and didn't know I was visiting during a busy time until I returned home and realised it was that week. I just used common sense and I was fine. Lots of rides, lots of fun, just make sure that you think every day that there are a lot of people there with an agenda of their own.

The longest wait time we had was 45 min at The (not-so) Great Movie Ride. We just visited the parks on their least busy days (thanks Unofficial Guide!!!!), used fastpass and stayed OUT of the parks in the mid afternoon. Nothin' for ya then.

At any rate: have fun and don't fret, nothing is as bad as the Christmas holidays.

We will be arriving on Wednesday Morning, looking forward to my Disney Vacation. I really have not planned too much. I figure if a park becomes over crowded. We will just visit another park.

We will be at Disney until the 18th. Then we are going to Cocoa Beach for the remainder of the week.

After the snowy, frigid weather we've been having here in New England. Even crowds are a blessing.

<center>To Everyone Visiting During Presidents Week. Have a Magical Trip. I know I plan too.

We are going that week too (2/15 - 2/22). I have been worried about the crowds but I read somewhere that Sunday shouldn't be too crowded...is that possible?? Also where should I fit AK in there?

We aren't doing AK, dh doesn't care for it. I have to admit, I am sitting here thinking there is no reason we couldn't leave tonight or tomorrow morning. I am becoming so anxious. It would be easy to manage with mine and dh's work! We are staying off site so the reservations wouldn't be hard to change. We are even driving so that would be easy too. I don't know maybe I am going crazy, but I bet the crowds this Monday, Tuesday,ect would be less than next week.

How will the week following be? We are starting on the 23rd (Sunday) at MK then following the unofficial guide on parks for the rest of the days depending on what my son wants.

We, too, are leaving Weds. We are doing Epcot and MGM on Thursday, and MK on Friday. Hopefully things won't pick up until Saturday. Sunday we'll be at AK with in laws. Maybe we'll do Universal on Tuesday.

Now, let's hope for good weather up here in the snow belt so that we can get the heck out of here on time!

Our family will be there from 2/15-3/1. I am hoping that the crowds will not be that bad. I am on a mission to get all the characters pictures! We leave in less than a week!!!!
