Trailsend timing

[cgh]

In a few weeks, I scheduled my son's first haircut at 4, and a 5 dinner at trailsend. I want to return to the park for the electric parade at 7. Is this doable? Would you suggest eating elsewhere? How are the parade crowds in January? (it's I think a 3 day on crowds)

I'm not sure about the parade crowds, but I don't think you could make a 5pm dinner at Trails End if you have your son's haircut at 4 at MK. That would be cutting it way too close, having to check in 15min. early.

Haircut at MK takes about 20 minutes, I would get there a little early and head straight to the boats/bus when done to get to Trails end, should make it in time

Seems tight to me - supper usually takes us an hour to an hour and a half, then you still have to get back to MK and over to the parade.

If you have another MK day that you can switch meals around, I'd do Trail's End that day and eat in the park on the parade day.

Too tight for me. The boat ride e to FW is a good 20 minutes each way once you are on it. You are way underestimating distances & travel times at WDW

I would weigh out which is more important, the meal at TE or The EP. If parade is more important, stay in park and eat. Even going to a resort on monorail line can take awhile. Transportation is something you have no control over and the stress wouldnt be worth it. Can you schedule haircut 1 hr sooner, TE 1 hr sooner? If so, this may be doable

okay, thanks, that is all helpful. I had originally wanted to do an 11 am haircut but they were booked. (booked haircut after I booked restaurant) I was thinking it was too tight, but wanted to see. I'll see if I could do dinner at Crystal Palace instead and save Trailsend for a later trip. DS has food allergies too so meals are a bit longer.

We are only in the MK For 1 day. It's a quick trip.
