Best Ways to Maximize a Quick Trip?

[Emme]

Give me your best input ideas/suggestions on how to get the most out of a quick 4 1/2 day trip. We have always gone for a week or more and this time our time allows (because of driving from NY) only about 4 full park days.

We have AP's so hopping is fine but we are staying offsite so forget EMH .

I have PS for a few meals we really want to enjoy... Any tips for getting the most out of the day without feeling rushed to pieces? MK and Epcot are our must due parks.

I guess I am just feeling a bit overwhelmed and crunched for time. Thanks so much for any tips .

If your favorite parks are MK and EPCOT I would only plan on going there and only visit the other parks if you have time. I would have everyone in your party write down there top 5 must do's at each park. You can read the lists and configure one unltimate list consisting of 7 or 8 things (probably will be less at EPCOT because there are less rides there). But keep everyones suggestions that didn't make the plan because if you do get time you can still do it. I normally don't suggest planning too much but since your short on time I would suggest more planning.

HAVE A GREAT TRIP

We have done short trips in the past and I would definitely do some planning.

The best tip I can offer is get to the Parks when they open, you can do so much more if you are there in the morning. You will also get more use out of FastPass by being there before lunch. For FastPass send someone from your group (teenager) with everyone's tickets to get the FastPasses. That will save time and walking for the rest of the group. As soon as the time comes up for your FastPass get one for another attraction.

If it's not a crazy time of year, you'll be fine. Have a good time !
