Hi Everyone!
We are working on planning our upcoming trip in November! We will be there 11/17-11/19 (Sun-Tues). There will be 4 adults who plan to spend all three full days in the park(s) and a family with 2 adults and 2 kids (one will have just turned 3, the other is almost 6). The family doesn’t want to spend 3 full days in the parks. That leaves us with a couple (or more?) different options.
1) they take a full day off and the 4 adults spend that day in Epcot (food and wine fest). The remaining two days will be 1 full day at MK and a day spent doing AK/HS.
2) Disney is currently offering half day tickets that allow entry to the park at noon. Would it be easier for the family to do 3 single park afternoon tickets to do AK, MK, and HS? Then the adults using the 3 day park hopper can do Epcot split up across the 3 days in the morning and meet the family in the designated park in the afternoon?
The concern I have with option 1 is that trying to fit AK and HS will be too much with the kids and the transfer between parks.
The concern I have with option 2 is that it will be too hard to split Epcot into small segments in the morning and that we will waste rope drops at other parks everyday! Accounting for the transfer between parks is he morning going to be worth it? But will planning a fast pass at the right time in the afternoon make up for that? But it does eliminate the need to transfer parks with the kids.
During this time there is the very Merry Christmas party two of the nights and MK after hours on the third. Is there a good way to take advantage of one of those that makes it worth the extra cost?
We are hoping that this week will be a little slower since it is in between the race and thanksgiving but you never can predict!
Sorry for the brain dump but I’m very torn between these options! Any advice is appreciated!!
Thanks!
