EDIT: our original plan was Poly 4/11-44/15 then BW 4/15-4/17, but now a waitlist request for BW 4/11-4/15 I forgot I made just came through. I guess I’m happy we don’t have to move now, but I was really warming up to the idea of Poly, and having macadamia nut pancakes basically at my doorstep. We have 6-day hoppers. We arrive after 7pm on 4/11, and we leave at 6:45pm on 4/17. We may be joined by a friend on the last day.
In both of my MK plans it basically looks like nothing except SDMT is expected to be open before official park opening time… is that really the case?
Sunday - late arrival at Poly, probably just collect groceries and maybe go to the pool if it’s hot
Monday - sleep in a bit, Captain Cook’s breakfast, then Epcot & HS 4/12 Epcot , 4/12 hop 2 HS
Tuesday - MK, with a long pool time break in the middle of the day 4/13 MK
Wednesday - earlyish take out from Kona, Epcot & HS 4/14 Epcot
Thursday - light breakfast & check out of Poly, MK then go to BW and probably just hang out at the pool unless a good Epcot or HS dinner ADR comes up between then and now. 4/15 MK
I think so… it was a 4 hour break with some wiggle room on the return. It also doesn’t need to be as long because we’re going to have the same pool the whole time now.
Despair. And maybe a butter butter sandwich from Boardwalk Bakery. Those are tasty. And I suppose we could get up at the butt crack of dawn one morning to get Kona carryout still.
I was going to suggest heading over to Poly on whatever morning you do Epcot. This would give you time to hit Kona before heading to Epcot. Trick is transportation. You could always Uber/Lyft there for certainty. Or, walk to HS and hop on a bus from there back to Poly directly.
Looks like you have that planned for now on Wednesday. You could also try it on Saturday.
I thought of going on one of the later mornings, but then it really makes it not actually a later morning. It just occurred to me, though, that if my friend comes to play on Saturday she’ll have her car, and we could drive to Poly if she arrives early or if she comes Friday night.
@ryan1 and @PrincipalTinker do either of you have any insight on the TP thing at MK where it’s timing all attractions as if they won’t start running until 8:00 except 7DMT? It’s literally every attraction except that one (I tried them all). I was hoping to start the day with Pirates on our second MK day, and if need be I will just ignore the suggestion that we’ll arrive there at 7:30 and then have to stand around until 8:00.
I don’t think it is. On my MK day last week, it didn’t show as open on TP until about 20 min early, at which point we went to it, and it did seem like they were just letting people into the queue. But without physically having been there earlier, I can’t rule out that it was running a little earlier than that, and TP could be behind.
