Planning and Stressed

[5happycampers]

Well, I procrastinated in planning my upcoming trip to the Fort and now I am trying to hastily figure out which days I will be at which Park so I can decide which ADR's I want to make.

I am thinking that I want to make the earliest possible ADR for breakfast at the Crystal Palace. However, I am wondering if we can catch a boat early enough to get us over to the Magic Kingdom before it opens?

Last trip we made to the Fort was 4 years ago and I did the Tour Guide Mike Planner and that helped so much. Trying to figure out which days for which parks on my own this time.

I will be up bright and early in the morning to jump online to make my dining reservations. Hopefully I can get this all figured out.

If anyone has any hints/tips for how to plan which days to go to which park, I would love to hear it. We have a few days there before Memorial Day weekend and I imagine crowd levels will go up and stay up then.

Thanks! We are so excited to be going back to the Fort.

I did mine last time by which park had the best EMH for what I wanted to do. Granted I do not know nearly as much as the others here. Some sent me this link in another thread. I am unsure if this will help...but it can't hurt.

Yes, you can get to the MK very early. You just need to take the small launch that goes to the Contemporary. It starts at 6:45am. Then you just walk over to the MK.

Unfortunately the larger boat does not start till about 30 minutes before park opening.

In general, avoid the parks on Saturdays! Lots of locals plus your weekend visitors.

EMH are good by design but that also usually means that the park with EMH will be more crowded. We actually avoid the parks in their EMH day. We find that you can "lose" the extra time waiting in line and fighting crowds.
