We will be visiting the parks Sat thru Wed before Thanksgiving. I'm trying to decide on a strategy for which park on what day that will keeps us ahead of the holiday crowds as much as possible. This is our 4 yo's first trip to WDW so we need quite a bit of time at MK. We will buy park hoppers, be at one of the parks for opening each day, and plan on taking an afternoon break to catch a nap on days that we plan to be out late in the evening. Here is what I'm thinking about:
Sat: MGM during the day and hop to MK for evening
Sun MK
Mon MK, can always hop elsewhere if we get enough time at MK
Tue Epcot
Wed AK & hop back to catch whatever we have missed, maybe Fantasmic.
Here is why: Sat might be less crowded at MGM than MK plus my son loves Toy Story and I thought a great way to start our trip would be for him to meet his hero Buzz. I thought Sun & Mon might be the best days for MK. That way we can stay away from MK as Thanksgiving gets closer. I thought AK might be the best choice for the day before the holiday.
Someone on another board suggested that we do MK every morning and hop to a different park when things start to get crowded. I think that is too much hopping with a 4 yo.
