4 parks in 3 days?

[Kylej29]

My girlfriend and I going to WDW 12/29 to 1/1. So we have 3 days to play. I'd like to hit all 4 parks but not sure if it's doable? We're staying at Wilderness Lodge for what it's worth. My only half made plans were hit MK the day we get there because it's easy to hop on the boat and Epcot for NYE festivities. But any suggestions?

you could do HS in the am, then hop to Epcot on NYE. MK and AK on the other two days. MK on the 30th might be worth it for the fireworks.

Keep in mind MK closes at 6PM for the Mickey holiday thing on both 11/29 and 11/30.

I only know this because I'll be there the same days as you.

The OP’s dates are over New Year’s.

Yep, that's enough internet for me....

Carry on, nothing to see here....

It's doable, but more complicated because of the NYE crowds. Just do what you are planning and split the days in half if you want (that is what I do); hit a park early then switch around midday. It's all a matter of personal preference where you go when depending on what you want to see and/or when/where you want your FP's, ropedropping, or park closing (always check the hours for all parks for all your dates as well).

Are you flying back home on 1/1 in the evening or 1/2 in the morning? That's an important part of the equation.

Sure .. but:
1) Park hoppers are prohibitively expensive for short trips and almost not worth it.
2) Doing 4 parks in 3 days is fine, but considering it will be busy, it will be hard to get it "all" done by hopping.

I've hopped on short trips (because I had flexible tickets that had hopper built in) and it is great to do a LITTLE bit of a few parks.

Is this your first trip if so I would just pick 3 Parks and do them are going at a very busy time.

We did 4 parks in 2 days before and hit everything we wanted to do, but it was tiring and the parks wouldn't be as busy as when you're going. Go in with reasonable expectations and be prepared to go go go.

We are doing a 3 day/ 4 park trip 1/1-1/5 (arriving on NYDay)!

Our proposed plans:
1/2: MK rope drop
Hop to Epcot for the evening
1/3: DHS rope drop
Hop to MK in the evening / HEA dessert party
1/4: AK rope drop
Hop to DHS in the evening/ Fantasmic! dining package at Mama Melrose

I think a park hopper, despite the cost, is totally worth it for a short trip. We would never be able to pick a park we didn’t want to visit once. We also don’t mind rope dropping in order to get more rides in. Of course going over NYE complicates things b/c of the crowds.
