Brett, in my itineraries days are days–so Monday means “Monday,” not day 3. So they don;t adjust well to different dates. Tell me the ages of your kids and I can advise on which parks which days. HS closes at 4 that day because there’s a cast member party there in the evening.
Hi, we are planning a 7 night trip from 11/10-11/17. How would you adjust the itinerary you recommended for the weeks that overlap my trip? Lastly, HS closes at 4pm on my last day. Why so early? Thanks for all the help.
Thsnks for answering my questions!! This is the best site!! So much info! We have only stayed at Bay lake so excited to stay at the Poly!! I saw you are going to be at Epcot have fun!
Thanks Stephanie!!
MK will be fine the 20th, especially if you arrive before the morning EMH starts. Major construction at the Poly–except perhaps the East Pool–will be over by then.
Hi Dave!
Love your site! My family will be at Disney the week of Nov-16-21. I Have researched enough (I think) to hope that I have picked a low crowed time? Just worried about our last day the 20th . I have planned to be at MK is this a good idea?
We are staying at the Polynesian hoping construction will be done?
