2 days/which 2 parks

[Mary Diehl]

If you had only two days to do Disney, which two parks would you do for a Thursday and Friday. Can't do the EE because of not staying on property so we want to avoid those parks on those days. We were thinking of doing Epcot on Thursday and MK on Friday. Any thoughts? Also, what number would you call to make ressies for restaurants at those parks?

Which parks I would do would depend a lot on whether I had already experienced them all and how recently and with whom I was traveling.

Can you provide more information?

Our family likes all four parks. This will be our boys fourth time(ages 9, 12 & 15), my 8th, my husband's fifth. Unfortunately, we all want different parks so I told them it would depend on the EE days. Since we can't do EE we want to avoid those parks on Thursday and Friday totally.
I'm afraid if we pick Epcot and Test Track is down that day, we will all be totally bummed. That would be the main reason we'd go to that park. MK has soooo much that I'd feel stressed to get everything done. MGM is my least favorite but it does have RNR. I , personally, would love to do AK because of Dinosaur, Kilimanjari Safari and ITTBAB but the rest of the family didn't agree. I just feel lucky to be able to squeeze these two days into our vacation.

Ha! it sounds as though your family has already decided for you!

With that additional background, I'd lobby for a day at Animal Kingdom and a day at Epcot.

After the Animal Kingdom, I'd have dinner at Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

As for dinner on the Epcot day, there are so many restaurant choices, and I'm sure you've already tried many of them. I'd consider heading over to Spoodles on the BoardWalk. Which Epcot restaurants have you been to on previous trips? Which have you liked best?

(Isn't the phone number for all priority seatings 407-WDW-DINE?)

Our family has chosen to do Epcot and MK. Who knows, we may change our minds again but I do want to make PS arrangements. I already made ressies for Le Cellier which we went to last year and loved it. We also made ressies for the Garden Grill ice cream social which I really know nothing about. I read it on one of the boards and just called and booked it. They didn't have any info because Future World was closed and couldn't transfer me to get info. My 15 yr old son LOVES icecream and can eat a half a gallon by himself. Depending on how this social is set up, we may cancel and do something else. My guess would be that there is alot of interaction with the characters(and that's what we'd be paying for) and my kids are a little too old for this. I'm hoping it's an all-you-can-eat deal. If you have any info on this social($6.99pp) please let me know. As for where we've eaten in the past, San Angel Inn, Coral Reef, Garden Grill, Le Cellier, Sunshine Season Food Fair and some of the fast food areas. Now for MK-don't know yet where to eat. We've done Crystal Palace and the fast food spots. I'd love to do the Hoop-Dee-Do but we're spending more than what we should with adding these two days on as it is.
