I am staying off-site and am trying to plan out what parks I should go to on what days. We decided to get the 10 day pass but I don't have the park hopper option because we got the water park option. My brother is also only going to be with us 5 of the days so it's even harder. I don't want to miss a thing so how should I plan this out. Should I go to the parks early in the morning that don't have the extra morning hours? Do you think then it would be less crowded since there arent already guest in the park.

Yes, that's what I would suggest. If you can look at The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World — TouringPlans.com, it will tell you which park each day would be best to visit and crowd levels.

If your brother is there the first 5 days I would hit the parks hard those days. I'd plan on going first thing in the morning and stay as long as needed. For the water park I'd plan 1 day for it, and if you could, try to hit both the same day, an if not I'd hit the water park his last day, and go to his favorite park later that afternoon. After he leaves I'd slow the pace down for you who are staying, and do what you enjoyed the most. 10 days is alot there (we do 10 days each year) and you will get tired and will need to relax.

I would go to the parks that do not have either am nor pm emh!

Yes, the general consensus is that if you don't have park hoppers and are staying offsite and can't take advantage of emh, then it's best to avoid the parks that have emh that day. It might not be too bad, but if it is then you are stuck with it because you can't hop.

However, if you're trying to fit in certain parks on certain days while your brother is there, you might be forced to visit a park that has either morning or evening emh one day, just because of the way the emh's might be scheduled. In that case, go with the one that has evening emh. The crowds will pick up in the afternoon, as more people hop to that park for emh to begin, but by then you should have been able to see most of what you want to see anyway. Definitely don't go to one that has morning emh because people will have been going through the gates for a whole hour before you arrive. Do this as a last resort.

Have a great trip!

Your plan sounds like a good one to me.

Always get there at park opening. You can get quite a lot done in a short amount of time!!

Defiantly avoid morning EMH. Get there 20-30 min before rope drop and try to hit the big rides first. Then once you have tried them all try for FP's for your favs. I like the suggestion of the water part the last day. Make sure to be there at opening too.

I like the touringplans.com crowd calendar too. Aviod EMH parks, and get there 20 - 30 min before park opening. I also like the touring plans on touringplans,com Have fun planning.

Great thinking! Going first thing to the park without EMH is a good plan! I can do MK Fantasyland in an hour on those mornings!

Have fun!
