Best day to go to MK

[ltribble31021]

We will be in Orlando from Saturday June 28 to Saturday July 5. We are planning to go to MK either Sunday 29th or Monday 30th. Which day do you think would be the best to go, and do you think we can do MK with a 7 y/o in one day?

Friday is a good day for any park in my view. But many people have different views on this.

Sunday - Magic Kingdom
Monday - Animal Kingdom
Tuesday - Disney's MGM Studios
Wednesday - Epcot
Thursday - Magic Kingdom
Friday - Animal Kingdom
Saturday - Disney's MGM Studios

If you like early mornings, I would go to the MK on Sunday Morning for EE and then circa 11/11:30 when things are getting busy go to another park and then come back to MK another day - perhaps the Thursday to tackle the rest

In my opinion, 1 day is not sufficient for the MK

Thanks

I guess I should have posted that we were not staying on-site, so I we will not be eligible for EE. We do plan to be there at opening though. I guess that means that Monday may be the better day then.

Monday/Tuesday should work best at MK for you with no EE

Thanks

I think I read in Birnbaum's that Mondays were the most crowded in MK.

I'm pretty sure that was printed when EE was on Monday for MK. According to my info, Tuesday & Wednesday are lowest attendance days, with Monday, Tuesday & Friday having average attendance.

Actually, this was in the 2003 edition of Birnbaum's and it was printed when the EE was not in effect. Anyway, you'll be in the MK. What's not to love! LOL!

"Part One - Planning Before You Leave Home

(Page 38) In the "Our Recommendations" section, the best days to visit the Magic Kingdom are Wednesday and Friday in summer, and Tuesday and Wednesday are least crowded during the rest of the year.
During off-season at Disney-MGM Studios, try Monday and Wednesday.

For Epcot, Monday and Thursday are least crowded from January through May.

During high- or low-season, visit the Animal Kingdom on Tuesday or Sunday."
