Two Days at WDW (well, maybe 1 and a half): What do you recommend?

[JohnD]

I'll be in the Central Florida area 11/8-12. I have other plans through the morning of Sunday 11/10. I got great rates for a Disney resort so checking in Sunday 11/10, stay through Veteran's Day, and check out the morning of Tuesday 11/12.

What do you recommend for Sunday 11/10 and Monday 11/11?

Here's some factors to help you help me:

• I'm definitely attending MVMCP on 11/11.
• Was back at WDW several weeks ago. The focus then was MK and Epcot. Want to experience more of HS and AK this time. (Visited all four parks at my "regular" vacation 9/29-10/5).
• Was thinking AK on Sunday and HS on Monday (before MVMCP). But would like to see Osborne Lights. So maybe HS Sunday and AK Monday? What about squeezing in last of F&W Festival?
• MK EMH hours from 12am - 2am the "night" of 11/10 (early morning 11/11).
• Park arrival on Sunday is contingent on leaving other area in Central Florida an hour away at a reasonable time. Could always check in to the hotel later and drive straight to the park.
• Because of compressed time, I purposely haven't made any ADRs. Better to "wing" it, I think.

It's a holiday weekend so crowds will be higher. Also it's the food and wine half marathon weekend. November 10, touring plans has Magic Kingdom at a five and all other parts at a seven. On November 11, touring plans has Magic Kingdom at a five, Epcot at a seven, Hollywood Studios at an eight, and Animal Kingdom at a six. Maybe that will help you plan.

So... you got your FP+ picked out ?

I would go HS Sunday, AK Monday morning-afternoon, and then MK at night for MVMCP. Have a nice time!

Well, yes, and no. Here's the thing. I'm a Florida Resident and have the Weekday Select Pass. Sunday is already blocked out for me. I made FP+ picks for HS on Monday but may switch it to AK. I'm planning on upgrading to the Seasonal pass when I get down there. Until then, cannot make FP+ picks for Sunday.

Sounds like a plan. I stated in another reply that I have the Weekday Select Pass but can't make FP+ picks for Sunday until I upgrade my pass to the seasonal at a Guest Relations at WDW.

Yeah, thought so. Well, I'll just roll with it. Thanks.

Okay, I changed AK to Monday. FP+ selections are: Safaris (9:05-10:05); Everest (10:05-11:05); Dinosaur (11:05-12:05). Will have to play HS on Sunday "by ear". The sooner I arrive at WDW that day the better.
