We would go either 12-3, 12-4, and 12-5 or 12-10, 12-11, and 12-12. We will have 3 day park hopper passes and arrive on the day before our first park use and leave the day after. It needs to be Wed-Sun for school purposes for the kids. We are not intrested in seeing the candlelight pro. as everyone in my family except me would be bored to tears(majority rules). I know the weekend part will be busy, we are planning a long day on Thursday at DL, 1/2 day on Friday, and a long day DC on Saturday. Any advice would be helpful. Also do they do the fireworks nightly during this time or just weekends.
