Planning Help - Festival of the Arts - Only Weekend Hours?

[Frankiemack]

Hi all! I'm digging in to the planning process for our daddy/daughter (DD10) trip - 1/19 to 1/24 and could use some advice. We're doing Base Tickets, 1 park a day for 4 days 1/20 through 1/23 and I want to plan out our FP+ plans. We're closing in on the 60 day mark and need to nail down a park schedule!

Although MK has been a staple on our first park day, and it is a recommended park on Sunday the 20th, I can't convince myself it will be tolerable as it is Sunday of MLK weekend. So, rather than first, I switched it to last day of our trip - which also happens to be an EMH day. My original thoughts/plans are:

Sunday, 1/20: AK
Monday, 1/21: HS
Tuesday, 1/22: EP
Wednesday, 1/23: MK (EMH 8pm - 10pm)

BUT - it looks like Disney is listing hours for Festival of the Arts on the weekend only! I know Disney on Broadway is daily now however having never been for FOA, I'm curious if we will miss out on other features/experiences if we do not go on the weekend?

Any thoughts on my park plans and/or insight into FOA experiences on weekends vs weekdays would be greatly appreciated!

• Art on Demand
• Festival merchandise
• Figment’s Brush with the Masters Scavenger Hunt

Thanks for the info and suggestion. I think my DD10 would like to see and participate in some of the FOA activities so may have to swap my plan as you suggest.
