Would YOU do MNSSHP on a Sunday & then home on Monday?

We are thinking of trying to do a little getaway for the Oct Thanksgiving weekend, leaving on the Friday and returning on the Monday. Having said that, I would love to fit the MNNSHP in but it seems history dictates the tickets are usually for Fri, Sun, Tues, and I think Thurs. So we could really only go on Sun night. We have kids, 6 and 8. They did the Christmas Party no problem 2 years ago but boy were they crabby the next day. Here is my question, would you do it? We would also like to try the new Expedition Everest on the Saturday. Is it too much, do I stick to just one or the other? My hubby cannot get any more time off work this calendar year as he just took 2 weeks off, so I cannot extend by a day, etc. What would you do?

It runs really late. We did it on a Thursday last year and it was perfect. Only you know your kids the best and for me if it meant not going at all I'd likely do it. We drive down so it would possible mean a quieter ride home. It really is worth it.

We did MNSSHP on Friday last year and left on Saturday. We were driving home too and all worked out fine. We did do a late check out mainly because of all the packing up to do, but really, all my kids were fine. We had a blast at the party so I do really recommend it. I would go!

The MNSSHP is alot of fun!!!!! BUT I would be careful about doing it on a Friday night and then leaving the very next day UNLESS you let them sleep in as we did not get back to our hotel room until 12:30-1:00 am and definately we all slept in pretty good. Ultimately you know your own kids and what they can handle and go with that.

I would do it. You don't have to stay right until midnight either. Your ticket will get you ib around 4 and you can get alot of rides done before the party starts. Then catch the first parade and leave shortly after.

You guys are all so cool, thanks for your advice. I was kinda thinking along these lines but just wanted reassurance! You only live once!
