Mike, these work just fine with no hopping. The only bad day you’ve picked is the 21st at MK, but that’s also the best night to see wishes and the evening parade…
Dave, looking at the park opening times for my Nov14-21 touring dates as compared to last year at the same time, I notice that last year opening time at MK changed from 9am to 8am for days that included MVMCP. In your opinion, is that likely to happen again this year?
Dave,
Reservation are as follows:
11/14 Tusker House 6:00
11/15 Hoop Dee Doo Review 6:15
11/18 Askershus 11:55 am
11/20 Cinderella’s Table 8:00 am
11/21 Crystal Palace 6:00
11/22 Chef Mickeys 8:00 am
Thanks!
Tammy, my itineraries assume certain operating schedule features which that week doesn’t follow. So the swap is aimed at sending you to lower-crowd parks during a week when the schedule is differ than the one the itinerary is built to take advantage of.
Hi Dave , the Nov 14 arrival itinerary asks to switch first Sunday and Wed which puts MK on the first full day with Epcot on the second full day ( which is also last day of wine festival) – are you still okay with the suggested swaps? Can I ask why it was suggested to swap those days?
