    Just wondering why you said to avoid the Cretan parks in 5/7 and 5/8-is it because those parks have magic hours those days? We will be there 4-9and I was planning on using each days magic hours-and now I am nervous. Thanks!!!!!

      Hi Stephanie, morning EMH is one of several reasons that parks get crowded. See this. You can certainly make EMH days work, if you have an early night the day before, arrive well before they start, and have a good plan for the day!

    I am wondering what your suggestions on an itinerary might be for only 5 days in the parks from May 6-10, 2018? We will be arriving on May 5th and departing on May 11th but will only have park passes for 5 days from May 6-10. It’s our youngest 1st trip (she’s 7) and our oldest 2nd trip (she’ll be turning 11 while we are there – her bday is May 10th).

    Any advice, tips and itinerary planning help are much appreciated. We’ve only been once before almost 7 years ago and I am way behind on my planning and scheduling since we recently booked the trip. We’ll be staying at the Contemporary.

    Many Thanks in Advance!

      Hi Jennifer!
      May 6 avoid MK and HS
      5/7 avoid MK
      5/8 avoid Epcot
      5/9 avoid AK
      5/10 avoid Epcot
      5/11 avoid MK

      I don’t have daily plans on this site for such a short trip, but you can find one and two day park plans in my book.
