Hello Liners, I’m looking for advice/thoughts/suggestions/feedback on my plans!
FastPass Day is still 28 days away, but I need to advise my parents and in-laws on their ticket purchase. We have ours; we chose Park Hoppers. “We” are myself, DH, DD9, DS7, DS2.9, and DS1 at time of travel. Obviously traveling with both sets of grandparents as well, who at times in the past 5 years have dealt with various knee/hamstring/back/feet issues.
Friday
Check-in to All Star-Sports, Boma dinner, AKL activities or early bed
Saturday
Legoland, food court dinner at AoA or AS-S
Sunday
Morning at Magic Kingdom 11/13 Sun am: MK - Tom
Break at hotel
After break, Epcot 11/13 Sun pm: Ep (this is last day of Food and Wine)
Monday
All day at Magic Kingdom Disney and Universal Touring Plans, with hotel break, coming “back” from break starting with dinner at 'Ohana
Tuesday
All day at Hollywood Studios 11/15 Tue: DHS, with in park break (this one was hard! I couldn’t get the times for shows and JTA to work with an out of park break). We want to do JTA when it’s dark-ish for maximum light saber effect. We’ll do Star Wars fireworks if they’re available.
Wednesday
Morning at Epcot 11/16 Wed am: Ep
Break at hotel
After break, Magic Kingdom 11/16 Wed pm: MK - Fant
Thursday
This is our “free plan” day. Epcot has EMH at 8, MK closes at 4:30, Illuminations is at 9pm. Our only scheduled activities are haircuts for the kids at Harmony Barborshop at 1pm and MBYBBQ at 5:30. I was thinking Epcot or DHS (kids choice, ok to split group) in morning, early afternoon fast passes at MK around haircut time and staying at MK til BBQ, then an after-dinner break and then go to Illuminations. The after dinner break may mean we don’t make it back to Illuminations, but I can’t figure out a better time for a break or a better day for Illuminations. I wanted morning haircuts but 1pm were the earliest I could get when I called.
Friday
Checkout, and KSC
TIA for any thoughts!
ETA: I also still don’t get how child rider swap helps, either saving time or keeping party together. It really just let’s some ride twice, right? But there’s still a wait for the child plus the two rides, and the group has to split, so might as well take the non-rider somewhere to do something else? I haven’t used it in my plans cause I just don’t see the benefit. But it might be that I’m still not understanding it.
