Tour Dates, could use some expert help

[arthur06]

We will be going to WDW in October, and boy could I use some help...

Here is what I got! (I am making ADR's tomorrow)

traveling will be me (first trip...since April), DW (April), MIL (first trip in about 17 years), DS2 & DS11months (first trips!!!)

Oct 11th - Arrival (flight lands at 1230...staying at SSR) there is EMH at MK, also Columbus Day Weekend, MK 9am to 2am
...thought Magic Kingdom

Oct 12th - Monday...Columbus Day... Hollywood Studios

Oct 13th - AK then , MNSSHP (switching over to AKL)

Oct 14th - Epcot

Oct 15th - Magic Kingdom...then leave for home...flight 3:30pm

Am I foolish for putting MK on both travel days? Should I switch Epcot and MK on arrival day! We didn't do MK at all in April.

I would definitely switch to another park you aren't as interested in for your arrival day. Because on your arrival day, you most likely won't be able to get to MK until about 4pm, realistically. And with little ones, you aren't going to be able to get much done before they get tired. I mean I am going with 2 little ones in Sept. and there is no way I would be interested in the EMH until 2am with them. With 2 little ones, I would definitely try and have a whole day at MK as that is what they would like the best. You can get the most done in the morning, with less crowds and especially with little kids since they are fresh.

I was thinking that if we could make it to 8pm, I would be happy. And MIL would take them to the room and DW and I could have some time. But I know what you mean.

I think that I will switch it, as MK and AK will be our biggest priorities with 2 little ones!
