3 days visit: 2 days at MK and 3rd day.. where?

[Veera]

Hi! We are a couple with a toddler (22 months). We will be having a 3-days visit after Easter, and I have planned to spend the first 2 days at MK, and the original plan was to spend the third day at AK, but now I am having second thoughts. My husband and I have spent only one day at MK years ago, so this will be practically our first visit to WDW. Which park should we visit the third day? Should we go back to MK also then? Going with our toddler we surely need to take it easy anyway. We will be visiting zoos this summer elsewhere so seeing the animals maybe isn't that special for us (as a reason to choose AK).

My vote would be EPCOT.

My vote would be Hollywood Studios or Epcot. We love HS though Our DD(5) has been able to ride Star Tours and TOT since she was three and since those are two of our favorite rides, we couldn't miss them during a trip to the World...even a short trip. We aren't that fond of AK and we are actually skipping it all together on our next trip in September and were going for a week. AK is a slower paced park and it is beautiful...however it is our least favorite and we'd rather have more time at HS or Epcot on our next trip. I wouldn't write AK off completely as everyone feels differently about it; however that is what I would do if it were me.

I would vote AK or Epcot. AK would be more child friendly but Epcot has more too see and do for mom and dad plus Illuminations is amazing. If it were me, I would personally sandwich the other park day in between MK days. If you expect MK to be your favorite park, why not spend your last moments there?

Personally, I would do HS or Epcot. I agree with PP that I would sandwich it between MK days.

I am guessing that the 22 month olds aren't 40 inches.

AK is a wonderful animal park, better than our local zoo (ZooAtlanta), but if I only had 3 park days, it would never make the cut (no matter the ages). For 22 month olds, there is even less to catch their interests, IMO.

HS has Toy Story Mania (assuming you can get a FP+ for it) and maybe you can do a rider swap on something else (ToT, RnRC, Star Tours). There is also the H&V character meals and some nice shows. There is also a good area to meet Toy Story characters, you can see Mater and Lightning McQueen, we met Handy Manny, etc.

Thank you all for your opinions, we decided to go to Epcot . Our daughter loves princesses and there are lots of meet and greet options. Also I bet that the dancing fountains will be a hit. She is under all of the height limits, but I got FastPass for Soarin and Test Track for me and my husband with baby swap. Bad news is that Epcot shows to be crowd level 10 but what can you do..
