No park hopper. Staying onsite. 1 day per each park this trip and maybe 1 extra day. MK and Epcot days are set so the options are Monday Dec 15 and Friday Dec 19. Crowd calendar is HS 4 and AK 5 both days. Monday will be easier to get up for early entry for AK (not rope drop front of line). Monday also seems better for HS to see fantasmic without dining package or waiting forever (great seats not important) because MK is open late. Friday we will be too tired to do Early entry in either park or stay 9-9 at HS. DH hates leaving park for breaks. I am planning MLL and Rise SPL/ FOP SPL but not MLL for AK. The main reason to choose HS for Friday would be better LL availability at 12 days out vs 8 days. But MK closes early so maybe more crowded for Fantasmic? What would you choose?
Since AK opens so early and closes so early, I would pick a day where it’s easier to wake up early.
That makes sense. I just wonder how much worse Fantasmic will be that Friday. I haven’t seen it in 15ish years.
Fantasmic has a really large venue, to be honest. If you’re really worried, get a Fantasmic dinner package?
