Hello Friends,
So being from central Alabama, we have the perk of being less than a day drive from Florida and Tennessee. We just came back from a trip to Gatlinburg where we spent a day at Dollywood. My daughters birthday is coming up in September and I usually give her the option of doing a birthday party with friends or a weekend trip somewhere fun. She told me that she wanted to do Dollywood since she had such a fun time. I started pricing hotels for the 2 nights, admission, meals, and a few rounds of minigolf, when it hit me, why don't we just drive down to Orlando? We won't be back for a full vacation at the World until November of next year, so we really would like to do the MNSSHP. This is something that we have wanted to do in the past, but the timing never worked out. Here is my idea....
Friday morning drive into Orlando hopefully getting there around 2 EST. Checking into All Star Sports, and heading over to MK for 4p.m. entry. Staying until end of party. Saturday morning do a late breakfast at Cape May and then go back to All Star for pool time and maybe head over to Disney Springs. We will leave Sunday morning for our drive back to reality.
We were going to do a full park day at MK on Sunday, but spending an extra $400 for the 3 of us, I decided against it. How would you do the Halloween Party in order to make the most of your time in MK. We are definitely watching the parade, and I would really like to watch the Hocus Pocus show. How are the crowds compared to a normal busy day in MK?
Any and all tips are appreciated!
