2 parks or 1 park a day???

With the "magic your way" package, would it be best to spend a day at one park or split the day with 2 parks (epcot first half of the day/MK the second half)?

We just got back from Disney and did a couple of days half a day in one park and half in another. I would just do one park a day if I were to do it all over again. The transportation takes away time that you can spend at either park. The only exception would be to go to another park in the evening if they have extended hours or special parades. We went to AK on valentine's Day and the lines were short & it was pretty easy to get around...I heard MK was really busy. It isn't always best to go to the park that has extended hours....it usually means more people! Good Luck!

We ALWAYS split up the days. Start in AK and after a few hours head to MGM or MK. Start in MK and then head over to Epcot. We don't mind the break traveling to another park by driving or by monorail. It allows us to catch our breath a little and relax.

Everyone is going to have their own opinion on this, but my family rarely park hops. We have Premium Annual Passes, so it has always been an option, but I think we have only done it twice. On the upcoming trip, we will be there for 11 days and I think we plan on hopping once.

We do sometimes however leave the park for a nap/swim/meal and return to the same park for the evening.

On our last trip, we usually ended up going to more than one park in one day. The first day we did MK during the day, but because it was December, the park closed early for MVMCP... so, we left, ate dinner at the hotel, then went over to Epcot for Illuminations. I don't think I could put limitations on myself of only being able to do one park each day.

if you have been at the parks before then split the days .
we usually have specific things at each park that a must do.
if we see and do what we want then we move on .
it really depends on the day--do we need a break--the weather--the lines.
we take it as it comes--sometimes not being on a schedule works best

Thanks for everyones point of views! I think what I'm trying to do is trying to detail every minute of the trip since were so excited, and the best bet might be to just go with the flow......
Just get to the park early, hit all the places that we want to see........and then if we want then maybe go to another park. In some cases there are some parks (blizzard beach, AK) that close earlier than some, and those I definitely will hop to two parks! Thanks again!
