Which day for MK?

[JulieEck]

OK, I keep debating this in my head and just can't decide. Which day is the best day for us to go to MK?

We will be arriving by lunch on Sunday 12/4 and leaving around lunchtime on Thursday 12/8. We are not planning on going to the parks on Thursday.

Sunday has MVMCP and is a weekend day. Is there still parade taping too or is that just Friday/Saturday?

Monday - I've heard to avoid MK on Mondays period. Not exactly sure why other than being a typical busy day for that park?

Tuesday has MVMCP.

Wednesday has evening EMH.

We are dh, me and dd3. We plan on doing a break back at CSR most days. DD can push through without a nap ok, but I don't want to do that every day we are there. We do have park hoppers so we can spllit days if we feel we need to. I wish there was a morning EMH at MK while we were there. DD is always up early so that would fit well with us. Oh well. Maybe next time. Oh and we do not have any ADRs as we do not plan to go to any table service restaurants.

TIA for all of your help!

If possible, open the park on Tuesday, and make it an all day affair. We have been on the Tuesday of this week in the past few years, and it has served us well. The MVMCP people "can" get in at 4PM, but most will arrive later than that. If you are not attending MVMCP this trip, try to fit it in another time, it's pretty awesome. Have a great trip!

Thanks for the tips guys!
I think I have decided on the Tuesday. I guess I was thinking that people who would be attending the MVMCP would be there all day as well, but maybe not. If we are up to doing more park time after 6pm then we'll hop over to another park after that. Or maybe we'll go to DTD. I want to make sure I get to the Once Upon a Toy Store that is there.
I thought about attending MVMCP, but it's hard to cough up the extra money for it. Is it really worth it? Maybe when dd is older and can stay up later then sleep in later. Right now it doesn't matter what time she goes to sleep - 8pm, 9pm or 10pm - she'll be up sometime between 6:20 and 6:40 in the morning!
