Disney question. First night.

[quesyrah]

We have always hit at least one park the first night for a few hours (usually Epcot). I say go for it!

[abs]

Do it! We did something similar our first night. No way can we fly to Orlando and not go to MK on our first day there.

[countthestars]

We usually do a park the first day!

[lishie]

With AP? No question I'd do that. I have no problem going to the park for just a few hours...though I'd have a hard time leaving without seeing Wishes

[jeaniebueller]

With annual passes, I can't think of a downside!

[Ashley&Scott]

I would plan it for now. You can always change your plans the day of depending on how you're feeling.

It took us an hour door to gate from CR to AK on the bus, I'm assuming it's similar for AKL to MK.

[curbsideprophet]

Since you have APs I say go for it. If you end up not going or leaving early no big deal.

[Amy]

I'd do it for sure, and I'd take the bus.

[water*drop]

Definitely do it. We got to Orlando midday and went to a park for a few hours that first afternoon, and it was fine...and we paid for tickets vs having an AP, so I'd definitely do it with an AP.

From AKL to MK is it better to do bus or drive? We plan on driving to the other parks (unless we want to drink), but driving to MK is a pain, right?

Driving to MK was NBD. We drove to all of the parks, though, so I don't know if the buses are easier or not. They didn't SOUND easier with a stroller, etc, so we just drove.

[wonderfezz]

I'd take the bus just so I didn't have to bother with the ferry/monorail.

We always rent a car when staying at a non-Monorail or non-epcot resort, and we drive to all the parks except for MK.

Having to go to the TTC and then either monorail or boat takes longer than waiting for the bus. The bus service from AKL was really good in September, and we never waiting for a bus or had issues with it being too crowded.

Take the bus to MK from there. Since you have APs and can decide on the fly, I'd plan on going. We've done it both ways with kids - hit a park ASAP and just lay low. Both have perks but there is something about walking into MK just hours after leaving home.

[CheeringCharm]

I would definitely plan to do that. If she gets too tired, then you can leave without feeling bad because you know you'll be back.
