4 parks and only 2 days

So we are going to Disney World over Labor Day weekend. We only have 2 days to spend at the parks and I'm having a hard time figuring out which ones to hit. ADVICE please!

If you get park hoppers you could do 2 parks a day. If not, my choice would be Magic Kingdom for sure, and then it gets really hard. I think I would pick Animal Kingdom, but if the new Soarin' ride is open at Epcot I would have to go there. If it was up to me and I could afford the extra cost I might just have to do a full day Magic Kingdom, and split the second day between Animal Kingdom and Epcot.

depends on your group and what they like to do... We would choose MK and then either AK, as we love it, the rides and the atmosphere or EP as we enjoy "drinking and eating around the world"

Who is in your party?

4 parks in 2 days is actually very manageable. I did that over Christmas in 2014. We might not have chosen to fit all four in, but my Dad was with us and we wanted to show him all 4 parks. We did some highlights in each park, took a relaxed pace, and had a great time. Also depends on what kind of tickets you have. For us, we have non-expiring hoppers. Since hopping is already included, it wasn't a financial cost to hop. Last month, my nieces chose to do MK and AK with 2 day base tickets. They would have liked the other 2 parks, but their must-dos were concentrated in those 2 parks. They had the time to hop, but the add-on cost was high and they decided it wasn't worth it.

I would suggest talking to the kids and asking their must-dos. Once you see everyone's must-dos, you can make your plans accordingly.

Then after that, be flexible when putting together your plans. Our last trip, my must-do was Star Wars fireworks. We only had one park day and I started off planning to do all 4 parks in one day. But Star Wars fireworks kept stalling my dinner plans. Finally, DH decided that a relaxing dinner with our nieces (who weren't going to be able to go to the fireworks) was more important. So I cancelled our DHS plans. DD was a bit bummed about missing RnRC, but it ended up being a great call and we had a wonderful dinner.

With your kids I would suggest a full day for MK, its so much more magical rather than rushing through. The second day could be a park hopper day, pick 2 parks! AK can be done quickly and is so much fun, but it would be hard for me to pick between EP and HS. EP is huge and hard to get around simply because of how spread out it is, but HS also has a lot of shows that take up some time. Is your family more into rides or shows?
