What prompted me to rethink things was talk in another thread about the dance party at HS EMH. Plans for May and Oct are set, so figured we’d do it on another trip. Then it occurred to me, in May we’re staying at WL, but future trips will most likely be offsite at a timeshare. It’s now or never. While the dance party may not seem reason enough to switch things around, once I re-worked things between May and Oct., I actually liked it better. Until... no availability to move the dessert party to May 20. I would have to skip the dessert party all together (would do it in May 2012), but could add the Pirate and Pals cruise on May 20 instead (since it’s our last night and want to do something extra). Anyway, here are the pre and post plans. Opinions please… Party is me, DH and DD5.
Original plans, just for the days effected;
Monday, May 16: EP RD-3:00, MK at 7:00, Dessert Party and Fireworks
Friday, May 20: MK RD-parade, 7:15 Hoop Dee Doo (MSEP is now at 10:00 – could go over to MK to see MSEP?)
Wednesday, October 19: HS RD-2, 5:30 ‘Ohana (may skip 'Ohana), Chip ‘n Dale’s Campfire (8:00), Haunted Carriage Ride (9:00 or 9:30)
Revised plans, just for days effected;
Monday, May 16: EPCOT RD-3, HS at 7:00 for EMH and Dance Party
Friday, May 20: MK RD-parade, Whispering Canyon, Pirate and Pals Cruise, or I guess we could go to MK for fireworks and MSEP, without the Dessert Party (will keep trying for Dessert Party).
Wednesday, October 19: HS RD-3:00, 7:15 Hoop Dee Doo, Haunted Carriage Ride (9:30)
The morning after each of these nights is a sleep in, so that’s not an issue.
Pros/cons –
-if we do Pirate & Pals, that means no castle show, MSEP or seeing the fireworks from within MK.
-Don’t know much about the Pirates and Pals – wasn’t on my radar and wasn’t something I was considering. The more I think about it, it may be better to just to go MK for castle show, fireworks and MSEP, even if I can’t get the dessert party. It will have more than enough bang without the dessert party.
-I was really excited for the dessert party, because of the MK focus of the May trip, and the atmosphere.
-I now really like the idea of the whole party atmosphere of HS EMH.
-I like now having HDDR in Oct on carriage ride night because it makes for a nice evening with good flow. But… it would be much more convenient in May, when we're staying at WL – and in Oct., we could always do the campfire on carriage ride night, which gives us something else to do at FW.
So I guess it comes down to Dessert Party (which can done later, but really wanted to do it on this 1st MK focused trip) and the dance party (which can only be done in May). Did I just answer my own question?:confused:
Help, opinions, thoughts…
I’m at 24 days from the May trip, so soon there will be one less trip to obsess over (but then May 2012 will be right around the corner).
(yes, Michael, this is all your fault for posting about the HS EMH dance party):tongue:
