Help me plan - Quick Dec trip w/MVMCP and a 4 year old girl

Walt Disney World Touring Plans
1

Hi - I am helping a new friend plan a very last minute trip for her little family. They are not WDW newbies but they aren’t big planners and this trip is in less than a month. This family has been through a lot and need this trip so I offered to plan it for them. They are staying offsite and she promised me her daughter can hack it till midnight :rofl:

So far the shell is:

Dec 13 - arrive MCO 1:20pm - After 4pm Epcot

Dec 14 - 1900 Park Fare 11:30am; Monorail tour; MVMCP

Dec 15 - DHS

Dec 16 - MK or Epcot morning (?) Depart MCO 3:42pm

She would like 2 sit-down meals which I obviously need to try and book ASAP. I’m thinking of maybe a late character breakfast on the party day? Do I have them do 2 half days at Epcot or do I send them back to MK? (They did AK on their last visit but not DHS.)

With a 4yo I think it’s easily MK

I also might encourage some resort touring on the DHS day. Later start, resort breakkie (YC? BW?) and then over to DHS for midday through evening time.

This is the same weekend I am taking my Mom! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

My one sadness is that I am unable to figure out how to work in AK at night

That’s a good idea! I am also going to try and get them a Fantasmic dining package for lunch.

Not even the like 3:30pm night that we are having??

I went with a 1:30pm Sci-Fi lunch for Fantasmic.

I will need to find out their plans for transportation given that they may not be able to easily Uber with a 4yo.

To resort tour they could just bus it to HS, skyliner to resorts, and then ferry on back (or ferry over and skyliner back whichever is easier)

From your research, if they get to Epcot at 4, will they be able to do any storytellers?

If they have time while doing this, they could boat/bus from MK to WL to see the Christmas decor. It is some of the best! :heart_eyes:

Looks like they should be able to choose from almost all of them, the exception being China

I was actually thinking that 2.5 hours was going to be too long to “kill time” but that may work out well! Mono from GF to MK and then ferry to/from WL in enough time to be back by like 3:30.

For the party, unless they want to see Jack and Sally, it may be less chaotic and more enjoyable to show up closer to 5 by which time the crush of party rope droppers will have dwindled. Otherwise they should probably be back at MK gates closer to 3.

Oh ok sweet! I remember liking UK and Norway so I’ll try to get those in, but that schedule is clutch!

My two faves from 2 years ago!

Ok thanks! I was thinking of maximizing park time but that’s a good point.

It is looking like they may only be able to do FW or WS at Epcot in the time allotted…

I’m noticing my formatting (12hr vs 24hr) is all over the place - I gotta fix that for my own sanity!
