WWYD on a day you have MNSSHP?

[JacksGirlz]

Our first MNSSHP we were at MK the whole day, with a short trip back to the hotel for costumes, then back for the party. It was exhausting! My DD was 9 at the time.

The next year we slept in, went to a water park for a few hours, changed into costumes then on to MNSSHP. We are planning to do the same this year for the MVMCP.

Much more relaxing and no complaints of "my feet hurt" by the end of the day.

To me, that ends up being a really, really long day. I don't usually do too many TS meals (usually one 3 or 4 during a 7-day trip), so my style is to grab a quick bite when I feel like eating.

My advice is to sleep in, maybe head to DTD and bum around a little or have some pool time at the resort, then head over to MK in the early afternoon. If you want a TS meal, do an early dinner/late lunch (around 3:00?).

I've been to MNSSHP three times, but always had at least one other, separate MK day. There's lots to do at the party, but I would be afraid I would be so burnt out on MK stuff by the time the party starts, I'd want to leave early. Remember, the rides at the party are pretty much walk-ons, so you can get a lot of rides done at the party and still do all of the "special" party events.

our plan is different as we are all adults but we plan to sleep in, do lunch at 1:30, rest/relax before we hit the party.

I think your DD is young enough that some rest in the afternoon will make her fresh for the evening. I get cranky without my nap!

We are going to do a pool day, we will be at SSR so maybe go to Planet Hollywood for a later lunch and then head over to MK. I wanted to do Chef Mickey but couldn't get in.

We're doing MNSSHP on the 28th too. We're going to AK that day. We will be 4 adults and it doesn't take us long to do AK.

We are three adults and will be doing the same thing ! We have ADRs at Tusker House that morning (which is partly why we're doing AK, it's the only date I could get Tusker House). I figure we'll stay 3-4 hours in the park at the most, then head back to CSR to relax & get ready for the party.

We did a MNSSHP with our nieces, then age 3 and 9 and I made the mistake of doing too much that day and it tuckered them out and I dont think they enjoyed the party as much.

If I do it again I would do breakfast at our resort go to any other park and spend a few hours there, go back to the resort for rest and pool time and eat CS for lunch, have a TS dinner at 5 in MK and then hit the party at 7pm

We're doing the Christmas party this year instead, so what we're doing is: going to Boma for breakfast having a look around the AKL resort for a little while, going back to our resort, having lunch there, taking a nap or sitting on the beach, then going to party at 4 and grabbing a quick dinner at either Cosmic Ray's or Casey's.
