Originally Posted By Darkbeer So we are talking about Tuesday thru Sunday.... Tuesday thru Thursday, go ride a lot of things, especially Fantasyland and the E tickets.

I would pick this night to watch the Fireworks, trying to get seat in front of the Castle. I would take Saturday off. Then on Sunday, go back to some of your favorites, and end the day watching Fantasmic! at 9 PM. Early Entry is offered Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I would pick Thursday, so you need to be at the gates around 7:40, as Early Entry is from 8 to 9 AM (Park is opening at 9 AM on weekedays now). Head straight to Fantasyland, and ride Dumbo, Peter Pan and the other Fantasyland rides, when you are done in Fantasyland, you can head over to Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear if you have any time left before 9 AM.

Taking Saturday off (shopping and a beach). Sunday - going to San Diego for LL Monday - use early entry especially for Fantasyland then Toontown (for 5 yr old and 8 yr old). Tuesday - DCA or Universal Wednesday - DL Thursday - DCA or Universal Friday - taking the day off for relaxing, as we leave the next day. Trying to figure out best days to make sure we catch fireworks, Fantasmic, Block Party, and Aladdin. I'm thinking that if Friday is too crowded, or my kids too tired, we would come back Sunday night for Fantasmic instead. We also don't have to use all five days of the park hoppers (obtained with reward miles, so $$ cost wasn't an issue). But if we do have the last day left over, might go back Friday the 11th just for a few favourites, seeing that it's going to be a crowded day. Any suggestions you have for how best to work these all in, what days to do each, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

(well, more of it, anyways . . .). I can just imagine arriving at the park an hour early, the gates locked, and my kids and wife looking at me with that "dad blew it again" look . . . : )
