We will be visiting Disney World - staying onsite, the week of Thanksgiving this year (Sat-Sat). Dates are firm as they are tied to another event. Myself, husband and 13 yo daughter who has never been to Disney. We will not start visiting parks until Monday due to another event.
We understand it will be crowded, I have researched LL strategies etc. The entire thing sounds miserable! Haha. I was seriously considering splurging for the LL Premier pass for MK on Monday, but after further research am now concerned that the LL Premier could sell out before our window to purchase opens. After thinking on this, I realized that I could likely buy Mickey Xmas and Jollywood tickets BOTH for the same range as one day of LL Premier.
My thought would now be to visit MK and Hollywood on the party days. Still going for LLSP and LLMP to increase our chances for getting rides and then we could use the party time to either ride things we were unable to ride or just be able to relax and enjoy the park/party instead of running around chasing slots. The added bonus is that my daughter loves Christmas more than your average human, so she would be in heaven.
My next thought is that with the extended party hours we avoid trying to early entry/rope drop. Have a bit more of a leisurely morning - getting to those parks around 10:30 (depending on how our LL bookings work). Then we could save our early ams for Epcot and AK.
Is this crazy? Somewhat doable? Advice?
Plan would be:
M: Hollywood + Jollywood (start late morning)
T: MK + Mickey Xmas (start late morning)
W: Rest/Water Park/Disney Springs - weather/energy depending
Th (Thanksgiving!): Epcot (early entry)
F: Animal Kingdom (early entry) - AK on the last day as we'll have to drive home earlier on Saturday am.
Thoughts?
