Headed down next week, been trying to keep tabs on this thread the last few months. we got 4 day hoppers, sorted out our big meal reservations immediately.
M - Princess Breakfast at the castle
T - Ohana (100% thanks to this thread
)
W - off day
Th - Be Our Guest
F - Le Cellier
Here's my dilemma. We're not staying on site, and unfortunately most of our reservations ran smack into extra magic hour days (live and learn), so we want to strategically hop into or out of parks around the meal reservations.
M - hop from MK to Epcot after breakfast
T - MK day, Ohana dinner, back to MK
Th - HS day, hop to MK dinner/night
F - AK day, hop to Epcot dinner/night
1). There are a number of crowd calendar sites out there. Are any considered more reliable than others?
2). I've never hopped parks before - how much time does it take between parks? What parks can you use transportation besides a bus? Thinking mostly of AK and HS here since you have to monorails for MK and Epcot
3). I've read you can watch MK fireworks from the Polynesian. What are some cool things to see or do there, since if we decide to stay at Poly after Ohana there'd be 2.5 hours to kill until the fireworks? Or would it make more sense to just go back to MK?
4). Can Hollywood Studios realistically be knocked out by 4 PM-ish, assuming we arrive at rope drop? Thats the only park of the four ive never been to. There will be two young kids in our group (2 and 4) so they won't be doing some of the bigger attractions (R&R, Tower of Terror, Star Tours etc). Hopefully us older folks will still get to do some.
