several questions on upcoming trip

[kel3420]

We will be arriving 11/21 at 11 am and staying at BCV for four nights before heading off to Vero for another four nights. There will be seven of us, myself, dh, ds, dd, dd, mom and niece. We have all been to Disney before, so I feel like we really don't need to have a rushed park trip. But then again, we are only there from Thur morning until Monday evening. What are your thoughts on this?

Would you go to a park the first day? We are throwing around this option of using a ticket for this day or not. If not, we would hang around the pool and probably eat dinner at the Flying Fish, my favorite restaurant. If we went to a park, we would go to Epcot.

I have heard that if you purchase a 100 year mug, you can use it both at BCV's and at Vero, instead of buying two different ones. Can someone confirm this?

Thanks for any thoughts,
Kelly

Hi Kelly!

As far as if you should go to a park the first day or not --

Do you only plan to do a day or 2 during your 4 days at BCV's? If so, I would skip the day you check-in since you will be taking time that day to check in and get settled and you could always spend the majority of that day at SAB if the weather is good. Plus, what time of the day would you be arriving at WDW? Would you get an entire day in to make buying a park ticket for that day worth it?

If you plan to go more than a day or 2 and want to park hop, you'll need to get a 4 day park hopper and would be able to go all 4 days you are there anyway.

Just some things to consider. Hope this helps!

Mugs are only good at the resort you purchase them at for the length of stay.

I have a little different idea on this. I would go Thursday and Friday because the parks are quite crowded on weekends this time of year, but empty during the week. Saturday's can be unbearable in the MK! On our next trip, we are skipping the parks on Saturday to avoid the crowds.
