Hello: You've got opinions and I want them, please! I am pondering and pondering and need some external insight because I am spinning my wheels. I would like some thoughts on the scheduling of Disney parks.
Here's the plan for our trip which includes two adults and a one year old and a 4 year old.
Coronado Springs
11/26/18-12/1/18
Long Story:
We arrive 7:00 PM in Orlando, so we'll get to CS at, what...9:30 PM? 10:00 PM?
What I currently have scheduled is:
Tuesday, Nov. 27th
Hollywood Studios
(Because we like Disney Junior ... and because of process of elimination between Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. However, I am also wondering if it's the 'right' park to choose)
Wednesday, Nov. 28th
Magic Kingdom (because hours are 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM + EMH until 11:00 PM)
Thursday, Nov. 29th
Break Day - Minnie's Beach Bash Breakfast @ Beach Club & chill
Friday, Nov. 30th
Magic Kingdom (because, well, it's MK!)
Saturday, Dec. 1st fly home

Short Story (If you don't want to read all the above)
HOW does one choose which parks to go to in terms of Extra Magic Hours and MVMCP? We are not attending MVMCP, by the way.
Are parks really that much busier on EMH days? What about days with MVMCP?
I'm starting to think I should do MK on Tuesday, and then Hollywood Studios on Wednesday so that we aren't doing MK back-to-back park wise. I had thought Magic Kingdom on the long Wednesday would be good in case we need a mid-day nap, or in case we get a late start. I also don't know what mood my one year old will be in so I am trying to plan around him, but that equals a million hypotheticals. Magic Kingdom on a 9am-6pm day -- is that too short? Or, maybe it'll be less crowded because it's a MVMCP day.
Our Fast Passes are booked according to HS, MK and MK, but we aren't going for any high-demand rides, so those can easily be changed. Dining has also been booked, but those can be changed, too as we're not making plans around food.
Ahh...decisions, decisions...
