to do or not to do, 2 erides?

[rebelmom]

My family and I dh, ds 10 and dd 5 are taking our first trip to Disney Aug 2-9. My question is this should we do the erides on both tues and fri? we have the hoop dee do booked for 7:15 on tues, would this give us enough time to get to MK by 10 when e night starts? also we leave on sat we need to leave the resort ASMo by 10am to get to the airport. Should we do both? if only one which one would you choose? Thanks in advance.

I would vote no for two e-rides, just because you can get so much done in one, and they are so tiring. I think I'd do the Tuesday one, and sleep in on Wednesday. I think you'll have plenty of time, if you get your wristband before hoop-de-doo.

Thanks for your reply. Any other opinions? anyone done both?

We're planning on doing it the end of July. We did it in June, but it was two different weeks.

we were also able to do a lot on the e-night 7/1. The kids were exhausted the next day, so take that into consideration. Have fun!!!!!!

Last year we did two ERIDE nights in the same week. We were tired but it was definately worth it. Keep in mind it was just me and my 11 yr old daughter. We were able to adjust our schedules on the next day according to our energy level.

We're planning on doing it again this July-only 14 more days!

If you stay for the whole enight your kids will be exhausted. We did two last summer. Our youngest was 6 at the time and he couldn't last through the second one. Also the second one was at the end of our trip and they were tired already. Also, on the first enight which was friday for us there were no lines at all. It was great. On the second enight which was a Tuesday the lines were horrible. We did more during the day using fast passes. I was very disappointed about spending that much extra money to stand in very long lines. I would do one enight early in your stay. Don't plan on getting to the parks until noon the next day!

Something else to consider the tues eride will be the 4th day of our trip, and on wed we plan on driving to clearwater to spend a relaxing day at the beach. the friday eride will be the last night of our trip our flight leaves at 12:40 on sat. If any of that makes a difference.

 

[Deb & Bill]

Do it. Everyone will have fun. Sleep a little later the next day. We follow up our e night with DQ the next day. And that doesn't open until 11:30. We had a great time at our two e-nights in June. And we're doing it again the end of July.

If your 5 yr old gets tired, you can always leave the park with him and go back to the hotel. One adult can stay with the older kiddo.

DW and I will be doing two MNSSHPs while we're there - Friday and Sunday. Although we're two 40-somethings who'll probably be dead-tired ::Halloween Pun::, any chance to get extra night-time hours at the MK is a plus for us!

Do the Tuesday one, then wait until Friday to see whether you want to do another one. We always do this . . . and seem to always end up doing two e-nights!
