Am I crazy? planning epic day solo with two kids - advice welcome!

Walt Disney World Trip Reports
1

I’m planning a family trip to Universal for Memorial Day weekend and we are doing two days at Universal. For that portion my husband will be with us. But I can’t go all the way to Florida and not do Disney! So on the Tuesday I will be taking my two sons (7 and 10) to Disney solo for an epic day. My 10 yo DS has a lot of stamina (see epic day 2 from my past trip report and my 7 yo DS can hike mts all day long, so I think they will be fine… but what do you all think of this plan???

Tuesday May 31st
Epcot early entry 8:30
6:30 buy Genie +
6:55 be in line for Epcot bus
7:00 make LL selection for Space Mt
7:12-720 make ILL selection for FOP (7pm)
7:30 waiting at Epcot main gate to rope drop Test Track
Test Track → Soarin → Mission Space → Turtle Talk with Crush → The Seas (all standby)
Guardians Coaster! (BG?? ILL??)
11:00 make LL selection for Splash Mt
11:35 lunch reservation at Coral Reef
1:00 make LL selection for Big Thunder Mt
1:00 head to Magic Kingdom
1:45 able to enter park a little early?
3:00 make LL selection for Everest, watch parade from Frontier Land do Splash, BTM, Space, PM
4:30 head to Animal Kingdom via Lyft (anyone know can I get a Lyft from Contemporary if I’m not a guest?? I know you can’t get a Lyft INTO a resort without being a guest…)
5:30 LL Everest then make LL HS for TSM or ST if kids aren’t wrecked (give them caffeine? lol)
Join Nomad Lounge walk up list at 5:30 to eat at 6:30
7:30pm ILL FOP
If kids have stamina head to HS via Lyft - do standby RnRC single rider then LL TSM or Star Tours and SDD entering line at 8:59
PHEW! Think we can do it??? I am an excellent park navigator and Genie + user , but haven’t been to the parks since January so hoping it won’t be so crazy crowded that we give up halfway through the day!

1:47pm is the earliest that you can actually scan in when hopping. Don’t ask, just walk up and tap in like you know what you’re doing. You were close!

Awesome thanks! Just like for when you’re late for a LL… 12 minutes past the time window, don’t say a thing to CM and you’re still good to go bc it turns green!

Looks amazing. One potential hiccup is getting all your LLs to be at/near the times youre planning them to be. We just did a few days with G+ and based on our experience, getting all those MK LLs to fall between 2 and 4pm could take a minor miracle.

Yes I know! It would totally be a minor miracle. But… My boys really only NEED space mt so if we only do that and people mover (they are already Disney nerds :rofl:) they will be happy - I’ll maneuver day of LLs accordingly. It’s more the whole just going to all four parks thing that makes me think I’m being a bit nutty… but I think using Lyft will make it easier.
