Which morning to sleep in?

[donmil723]

My DH, DD, her fiancee and myself will be spending 3 1/2 days at DLR. We'll have 4 day PH passes. We arrive on Sunday and plan to go into the theme parks in the early afternoon. We'll also be going into the parks on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This is June 6-9. I know we won't want to get up early all three mornings so which morning would you skip DL and wait for CA to open at 10 a.m.? Thanks!

I would use my Magic Morning (included with your 4-day PH) on Tuesday (the only day of your trip you can since you get to the parks Sunday afternoon). Then I'd probably sleep in on Wednesday, since it will likely be the least crowded day, and you will still have the energy to wake up early on Monday, but likely won't on Wednesday

What we've done our two last trips is:

*Start our trip with the intention of always arriving at DL's opening
*In summer (when it's hot and crowded), take mid-afternoon breaks; if we're not tired, then don't
*Wake up totally exhausted that last full day before our departure (we spend a part-day in the parks on departure day) and say, "You know, starting out at DCA one morning is a perfectly legitimate plan..." Then we roll over and go back to sleep for a bit.

Not sure what will happen, but we never PLAN a day where we do DCA first, and we manage anyway.

In general the best day to do a sleep in is when your trip covers two Magic Mornings and you only have one. Then I would use MM on one day and sleep in on the other MM day.

In the OP's case since she is arriving Sunday then Tuesday is the only MM day while she is there and that is when she should use her MM. Therefore that leaves either Monday or Wednesday to sleep in. On Monday I would expect she and her party would be raring to get going, so that leaves Wednesday for sleep in.
