Ok, so im staying offsite and want to avoid EE and busy days, which of these 2 itineries is better for my trip this Oct/Nov

wed 22 Seaworld
thur 23 MGM
fri 24 Free Day
sat 25 MK (can get really busy on Sat but open til 10:00)
sun 26 Free Day
mon 27 IOA (only day open till 6.00 b'cos of horror nights)

2)

mon 20 Arrive
tue 21 Freeday shopping/Downtown Disney etc
wed 22 MK (open till 8:30, less crowded)
thur 23 Seaworld
fri 24 MGM (Not an EE day so lighter crowds and till 7:30)
sat 25 Free Day (all parks seem busy on a Sat)
sun 26 Epcot
mon 27 IOA (only day open till 6.00 b'cos of horror nights)

The 2nd itinery avoids EE and generally does the parks on their less crowded days (i think) but uses all but 1 of the disney days in the 1st week !

thx for helping !!

You might want to pen, in a park for your first day(MK or Epcot)as you will be on brit time still, it would be a shame to waste all that energy!!

I'm with Jules - I'd use day one as a park day, as you'll be up early. I'd suggest building in a 'gentle' park, in case you're a bit tired, but make sure its one that opens at 9.00am to make full use of the early rising.

And if you choose one that's closing fairly early anyway, you wont miss anything if you want to dip out at tea time. Seaworld or AK fit the bill from that point of view.

We'll be there at the same time: we're doing SW day one then IOA day 2 (closes at 6pm), then MK for a late night to 8.30, Epcot day 4 til 9 - so building up to the later evenings.

Might see you there!

We could not avoid going to a park on the first day; it is why you made all the effort to come, after all.
