I wish I could get this thru my SiL head... She still insists on MK on a non party day just so she can see HEA and Starlight.....

So messy. We cut out for a 1900 Park Fair dinner 7:00 (well managed) and then had time to walk to Poly DVC "grass" for non crowded fireworks. Highly recommend - by 6:30 hub and MS a mess for 8pm parade.

@cdlla, I think all October nonparty nights are a zoo. Work on your SiL.

This was discussed in this weeks Disney dish. A total zoo. I would avoid for sure

A compromise for @cdlla's SiL is maybe to do MK on a party day but then go to MK another night just for evening parade and HEA. But be prepared for crowds. It's hard during party season to see HEA!

@cdlla you could probably do just the parade, and enter/exit without dealing with the madness of the hub. I would want to avoid that on a non party night too?

^^ We're planning on doing this in November. Did it the last two years and watched the fireworks from near the train station. Gonna try for the same for parade and fireworks this time. Have no desire to go further into the park!

We will have two party days to actually visit MK and wander.

I'm doing that next week, just heading in for the parade and HEA, but for our Dec trip, my other sister and my other brother have each only been there once -it's been several years for both and she's adamant... They have 4 park day Tix, one per day.

I told her that we need to split LL cost, that's the only way we are going to get anything done that dand she flipped on the extra money (they make twice what I do) and said we can just do rope drop and DAS. I told her I doubt will qualify with new rules

But we'll wait and see until they come back into town and can call when they are at my Mom's and Dad's house with my sister there. I'm dreading this trip. I can't do RD to close any now and I don't my sis is too, so I'll probably take her back for mid day

Wow. Typos. Sorry. Can you tell I'm frustrated, lol?

@cdlla, are you coming to brunch on Oct 24? Bring your SiL and we can have an intervention! Lol!

Lol. I feel like I should apologize for b!tch!ng about this. Some don't have the opportunity to visit every year and would happily take the crowds at any level so I'll just be quiet and time my waits that day,,, I'll have plenty of time to do that :)

Yes @jenny. I have one of the 10 ADR reservations. Are we close enough we should do another head count/reminder or wait until most everyone is there next week?
3:32pm by

Let's wait. Mostly because I am at MCO right now and it's too hard for me to think about, lol.

I want to sit next to you and hear all about your days with SiL!!!

Wait, I just realized I might be there for the brunch!! DH has to be at the office so I'm meeting him there. I'll watch for someone to start a post about it and see if there's room.
