4 days in the parks

[SandraC]

Hi all! In 1998 we did all four parks with a 3 day hoppers. In 2001 we did 7 park days, 2002 we did 7 park days. As much as I love the parks, we would like to SLOW down and enjoy the resorts. So I'm thinking of buying a 7 day hopper pass and using 4 park days and 2 options at TL and BB and saving 3 park days and 2 options for another trip when my kids are older and I'll add Universal Studios.

Do you think 4 days will be enough? I like going to the parks early, then resting at the resort for a couple of hours in the afternoon then back to the parks for the rest of the night. I', not exactly sure how long we will go for. I think one or two nights at the beach to start, maybe 7 nights at WDW. S

I think it is ok to do four days....we are actually only doing three this time. The only time I would disagree with four days is if you are a first time vacationer, but you are not! have fun!

Hi Sandra,

That's what DD & I are doing next trip...we have 4 days each left over from July (you remember that story ). I think with younger children & the fact that they've been before, 4 days is enough. One thing we always regret when we come home is paying all that $$ (Canadian) and not really taking the time to enjoy the resort. So on our next trip we're hoping to do just that...8 nights in WDW but just 4 days in the parks (if we really get the urge to do another day at MK at the end...we'll just buy a 1-day pass).

Spend some days relaxing and let the kids have fun at the pool/beach...that's what I'd do. Good luck with your planning.

We did four days on our last trip, I was worried about that also. But since we had been there before I did not want any pressure, I just wanted to spend a couple of days out of the parks. We even went in Nov. when the hours are shorter. We did everything we wanted to do in the 4 days in the parks. Our first day we went shopping at DD and had dinner at Chef Mickeys, just wanted to relax a bit before the parks. AK, MGM, and Epcot fireworks, First day in the parks, MKand Epcot second day, Took a break the next day relaxing by the pool, except for Luau and shopping at DD in the late eve. Then Epcot/MK/Epcot the third park day(it saves time to hop with monarail parks). MGM and MK on the fourth day(it was a Sat. so MK was open later and I wanted to see the parade and Tink, we still had time after that to ride SM one more time before our vacation was over. We even saw the water parade while we waited for our bus back to the ASMo)

We will probably do 4 days again this year.
