You CAN go park to park on buses. However, be aware Of times when preparing to transfer between parks.

For example, on one of our trips we decided to use buses to get from MK to MGM then from MGM to Epcot. We are used to having our car and usually the only park to park transportation we use is the monorail between MK & Epcot. Well, we left MK just as Spectro was getting ready to start and we had to wait about 20 minutes for a bus (since it was a "slow" time to leave MK, there was a lot of wait time between buses). Then, we left MGM right after Fantasmic ended to head to Epcot when Epcot was the only remaining park open. We had to wait in line through 3 or 4 buses to load. The buses did come right after another since it was a "busy" time, but it took a while and it took us at least an hour to get from MGM to Epcot.

Therefore, busy AND slow times can be a problem when transferring between parks.

Hi there!

Sounds like a fun schedule to me. :)

I think you may be cutting it close making it to the 4 pm parade that first day, but I hope you make it!

I know the midday break is very popular, but we've never done it. By the time our kids were 4 years old, we could go all day - open to close - without a problem. We just take breaks in the parks when we need them. Find a place to sit and hang out for a bit. That is enough of a recharge for us. You'll be able to play it by ear, see how your kids are doing. They might surprise you this time.

Have so much fun! I hope if it is Soap Weekend, it isn't a bother for you.
