Anyone still working on touring plans? I think I have MGM down and EPCOT. For EPCOT we are doing 1 day of FW and 1 day of WS. I hate the plans that make you jump back and forth. For the MK, I am still working and same with AK.
Regarding
MNSSHP, how many rides do you usually go on while attending? I read somewhere that lines are short but it is easy to get caught up on the rides and not enjoy the rest of the stuff. Since MNSSHP ticket holders can start entering at 4pm, can we also start riding rides then? Then at 7p when the party
YES! I'm still working on all our touring plans...I figured I'd really finalize them next week to build up the excitement for myself in between packing (I hate packing). We're still trying to decide, too, if we're going to do the Backstage Magic tour we signed up for...or if we want to cancel that and do a water park instead that day. And we're not spending as much time at MK as I'd like...so I dunno!
I may completely re-do our plans before I'm through!
For MNSSHP, last year (our first time attending), we did BTM once and held the stuff while the family and kids did it two more times...that was about 6:45pm. Once the party started, I wasted time waiting in line for Uptown Jewelers to open (they were late) to get pins, and then we had a heck of a time finding the rest of the family, so that blew almost an hour.
We did some trick-or-treating, saw SW and the 7Ds, Hallowishes, and then more characters. I was getting Grumpy at this point because I didn't feel like we were doing what we wanted to do, so DH and I split from the family for a while. Then my camera battery died, I dissolved into tears (it was a bad night), we bought a $20 disposable camera which helped my tears, and saw a couple more characters before the night was over! Oh, and we saw the parade in there, too, LOL! I felt like we didn't have NEARLY enough time, which is why we're (a) going alone this year and (b) attending two parties!
SO - this year, we'll be there about 4:30pm, and plan to hit some rides (unless I'm in my Belle dress, in which case we won't be doing ANY rides that night, because, well, the dress won't fit
) and then grab a quick CS meal. I really want to catch all the characters during the party (I collect character photos), and we'll see the parade at least twice so DH can get some good video to edit. We'll see the fireworks both nights, too. So, yes, before the party : rides -- during the party : party stuff. Does that answer the original question?
it's DHs car, mine is the van! he drives 120miles a day round trip to work 
so we needed something with GREAT gas mileage!
TMI...probably!
I think that sounds like a plan. 3 hours should allow some time to hit a few rides then off to the party! I would not want to waste the ticket money on doing things I can easily do with my hoppers!
