days to hit USF & WDW

[muffyn]

I am asking this group, hope you don't mind, because most of you seem tolerant about people going to BOTH parks( where some WDW goers think those that go to USF are just horrible)
anyway we are heading to the parks in early nov. 'we' have been many times to all the parks, but we will have someone with us who has never been to Orlando. we ONLY have 3 days to do 5 parks (yikes). I am at a quandary what day to DO USF/IOA. we have thurs/fri/sat to do the parks > USF/IOA, magic kingdom, epcot, Mgm. we can't do MGM on sat as there is soap weekend there( can you say HUGE crowd?). I was going to combine MGM/epcot..OR epcot/magic kingdom. ( I will skip all shows & only go for 'important rides').
so anyway,,which park is best for saturday? (also fri/sat is wine food festival at epcot) ( & possibly the late nights open friday at magic kingdom, which we want to avoid).
what parks do the LOCALS hit on saturday?

I would say combine MGM/Epcot rather than Epcot/MK because Magic Kingdom is just .. "THE" park in my opinion. I would probably say avoid the weekends, since you have Thurs/Fri/Sat and it seems ou are combining US/IOA then you should use Thursday for IOA/USF because it would take longer and I'm pretty sure weekends would just increase the crowd. so that would put MGM/Epcot on Friday and Saturday for Magic Kingdom since you'd want to avoid the late nights on Friday @ MK and Soap Weekend is at MGM on Saturday.
