Well if you are planning on going to AK EMH for an hour or 2 and then over to Mk I dont think it will be worth it as it may take you an hour to travel between parks, re-enter etc.

Also you may want to take a swim/ nap break every afternoon with your little ones. Sept crowds are usually very very low so you should be able to get alot done. Just make sure that you dont wear out the kids because you wouldnt want them to not enjoy yourself. Hope you have a great trip.Oh and Ill be there too at the WL YAY!!
 
Sorry about that, there should be a space. AK EMH is for Tuesday night. (If they have it)

Good idea about the nap/pool. I planned for it on somedays. I'm hoping the park won't be to crowded and we can do it on the days that don't have it written in.

Thank you. I so nervous that I will make a wrong decision. But then again we will be at Disney, there can't be to wrong a choice. :confused3
 
I have to laugh because our names are almost the same. We are going the same week. And my plans are very similar.

We are doing the same park on Tues-Fri. And even the same meal at the 50's Prime Time (5pm, son's birthday, well not really but hoping for a little something for him) and Garden Grill (5:15pm, son's actual birthday). The difference for us is that we are doing MK on Monday and AK on Sat. Probably see you there!
 

First of all... welcome NCmom2NandC.

Just a couple of notes on your itinerary. Your schedule probably needs a daily down time back at the room. Especially with the ages of your children if you are planning to be at the parks first thing in the morning and stay for fireworks at night, in the September heat it can be a long long day. A trip back to ASM around 1 or 2 for a quick dip in the pool to cool off and then a little nap will make the evening more pleasant for all. Also will have you skipping the hottest part of the day!

The other thing I wanted to mention is your math is a bit off. You have scheduled 15 counter service and 21 table service. Just want you aware if your plan is giving you 18 of each you will be paying for 4 of your TS. You can use the remaining CS on your last day, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Hope you have a wonderfully magical trip! :love:
 
My only concern is your eating plan for the AK day. We were there in late March and had Donald's breakfast at 8:00 (loved it!!). The park is so hot that we left at 2:00 without even eating again. The breakfast is huge so you may not need those CS lunches that day. Don't forget you have snacks, too. Looks like a fun trip. We will be back the next week.
