AK or 2nd day at MK?

[becalubob]

After MUCH scheduling and re-scheduling, I finally have set dates for my girls trip. Unfortunately, this will be during summer break with crowds being 8's. Short trip, 3 days (coming in Saturday and hitting the parks Sun-Tues, then leaving Wed). Originally, I figured we would do AK on Sun, EPCOT Mon and MK Tues. The more I think about it, the more I'm wondering if I should forego AK and add another MK day. I'm doing a princess meal, but the 6 year old is also going to want to meet Repunzle, Tinkerbell, Elsa and Anna, and Merida. Add to that, that this is my first time using FastPass+, and she enjoys rides... I'm just nervous I can't get everything done in one day! I thought about adding the hopper to do AK in the morning and MK after lunch, but I don't know.... on the one hand, I can use FastPass+ in the afternoon, but I like getting there at ropedrop and getting as much done as possible in the morning... Any thoughts or suggestions?

What time do you arrive Sat? Adding a fourth day to the tickets isnt too expensive-the first 3 days are the most expensive.

Around 9pm... going to check in and hit the hay.

It will be tough fitting in seeing all of those characters and riding rides in one day, especially during the busy summer months. I would change it to a second day at MK unless you really love AK. AK happens to be my oldest daughter's favorite park, so I couldn't skip it. In your case, you'll be hard pressed to get all you want to do done in one day at MK. I don't think park hoppers for such a short trip would be worth it. Good luck with your decision! I change my plans multiple times before the trip. It's a headache and fun all at the same time.

Yeah, I really didn't want to upgrade to hoppers, for only one "hop". I do like AK, and think the 6 year old would as well, but just no time this trip... something new for the next one!

Skip AK. Great Park but you will never get it all done. AK will be there later. Your girl being 6 and wanting to do those meets may eventually go by the way side.
