Can't decide what parks to visit!!!!

[tiff211]

We are going to WDW with DD 2, 4 and 13 next month. MK is a given but we can't decide on what other two parks. I am thinking Epcot and AK. We have been to MGM 4 yrs ago. I don't think there is much there for the younger set except Playhouse Disney. Is it worth it just for that? Help me, please!

Playhouse Disney is SUCH a great show for little ones.

Plus dont forget the Muppets, the shows, the great movie ride, the characters there, etc.

It really is a fun park.

Are you limited on your days? I mean do you only have 3 days?

I think there is more for the little ones at MGM than Epcot. But I guess its personal preference too.

If we had to skip a park, we'd skip MGM - did last time too, except for Fantasmic - and we had seven days. But you could consider hopping - spend the morning/afternoon at MGM - let the little ones see playhouse Disney while your teen does the thrill rides, move to Epcot for the evening. Same thing on your AK day - morning early afternoon at AK/ evening at Epcot.

My 2.25 year old's favorite parks were MGM and Animal Kingdom. He was sooo into the characters, and saw so many with short or no lines at those two parks. Plus MGM has a lot of good shows for the younger set - Playhouse Disney, Little Mermaid, Muppets, to name a few! I vote for MGM over Epcot, definitely.

I'd skip Epcot. Either that or make the tickets park hoppers and do MGM in the morning, EPCOT after the naps.

We love MK and MGM and would skip the other two. Epcot and AK didn't have much for our little ones. MGM on the other had has Ariel show, Beauty and the Beast show, Playhouse Disney show, the parade, Great Movie ride, Muppet 3D, Honey I shrunk the Kids playground, and to top it all off, Fantasmic!

When we went in January our kids (DD-6 and DS3) favorite two parks were MK and EPCOT. DH and I were SHOCKED!!! Usually when we go we only spend about half of a day at EPCOT, but this year DD was tall enough to ride Mission Space (her favorite) and DS was tall enough to ride Test Track (his favorite), so they rode those rides over and over again. The also had an AWESOME time doing the Kidcot masks.

Incidentally, I assumed we'd spend a lot of time at MGM, but for some reason the kids didn't really want to be there. They kept on asking when we were going back to EPCOT

With just three parks I too would skip MGM. If anyway you can park hop I might try to divide the one day between MGM and AK. NO way would I skip Epcot. It has always been DS's 2nd favorite park after MK. Another idea if you can hop is to do MK, AK, and MGM in the day and hit Epcot each evening. It closes later than other parks.
