3days in Magic kingdom

[canadianamanda]

Hi! We're going to Disney in May! Going for first time with my 10month old and 5 yr old daughters! We've planned to go to Magic Kingdom three days in a row. I've split up the days by getting fastpasses for different rides/princess meets each day. We also have a bday party for my niece at Cinderellas castle the second day. We are going with grandparents and a set of in laws and their kids. They like to take there time and go slow type of people, and they don't like waiting a long time for anything lol We don't want to rush around, being our stress level is already high travelling with other family members lol and are planning on standing in long lines for rides! Are goal is to go slow, see everything (including all parades, and night time shows) we also want to take advantage of our resort, by spending a chunk of time there mid days in the pool, and possibly going to downtown Disney one afternoon, and even leaving the park around 6 one night so when can get a good night sleep! We don't have park hoppers, only there for 5days, we know which parks were doing the other two days. I'm happy with my decision, and feel it's sounds some what relaxing, knowing that if we have meltdowns, or accidents, or need to leave MK for whatever reason ect we have 3 days to fill in what we missed! Plus I think knowing we have 3 days will keep me calm and will thus lessen any chance of fighting with the hubby haha! However on another forum when I mentioned 3days at MK a lot of ppl said I'm nuts! I figured 3days was a good number, and I already have fastpasses for all the major attractions including Elsa and Anna meet and greet! I just don't want to be stressed out, Or rushed, and with a 10monthold and a 5yr old I feel this is the best option?! Advice?

I just got back from DW with my DH, dd8, and dd6. We did two days in MK, which was perfect for us. Day 1 was Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, and day 2 was Adventureland and Frontierland. We got there at RD both days and was able to do quite a bit in the first hour and a half, then used our FPs and waited on shorter lines. We left by 3:00 each day and returned after dinner for a few hours. For us, this was plenty of time. We rode nearly every ride in the park except for a few my daughters had no interest in.

I think you need to consider how quickly you will get from place to place, how crowded the park will be when you are there, how many of the rides you will really want to go on, and whether or not you will take advantage of rider swap (therefore riding some rides twice). It's a big park, but if you move around efficiently, your third day may end up being a day of repeating your favorite rides again, which can be a lot of fun, too.
