What would you do? Planning advice

[TTFNTigger]

We have 5 day park hoppers and FP booking is approaching soon. Have all days planned except our middle day and I'm having a very hard time deciding where I want book FP for this night.
Day 1: AK in am, HS in pm
Day 2: EP in am, MK in pm
Day 3: leaving am open for group to rest, swim, shop, explore on their own. Where to go this evening? (It's a Monday)
Day 4: MK in am, EP in pm
Day 5: MK all day

Thanks!

When are you going? April or May? If AK has started their expanded evening hours by then, I would think you'd want to hit that to check out the evening entertainment.

You're in MK the evening before and the morning after with another whole day planned at the end, so scratch that off the list. Since you're going in the evening, and since you've got Epcot in two other days already, you can probably scratch Epcot. That leaves DHS and AK.

It really depends on what you like to do. You've got a half day planned in each of those parks. Have you sensed any regret or concern about not being able to get to certain things you want to do in either park? If not, it may come down to whether the new evening activities have started at AK and whether you can book FPs in the evening there when your window opens. If both of those are true, I'd lean that direction. Or you could book FPs there for late afternoon in case the night stuff is added for that date later. They may be harder to get once the night stuff is confirmed.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a bad move to book some FPs in DHS just in case, since some of those can be harder to get closer to the date if you change plans.

you don't list the rough demographic of your group or when you will be attending - though i would assume at least 2 months from now.

For us - we spend every evening at Epcot munching around the world with our hoppers, but I would plan on going to Animal Kingdom for Rivers of Light, an book FP+ there with the understanding that one of them would change as soon as ROL availability was locked down (unless it costs $300/person to watch and $200 for audio only - who knows?!)

If it's after April 22nd, I would do AK, so you can do ROL, evening safari, see the entertainment etc

That was my first thought, too.

Thanks all! Looking like it will be a full day at HS and afternoon/evening at AK based on everyone's wish list. Hope it's the right choice. Fingers crossed Disney makes a decision about early summer hours and new experiences at three of their parks soon so I can finish all this planning. Fast Pass booking date is a week away!

I'm planning to go to mk allot as well. This would be a good plan for me and my family. I would say leave availability open on day 3 if your going the end of April beginning of May and head for animal kingdoms new rivers of light spectacular. I hear it's not to be missed
