December 2016 Question?

[MIDISNEYFREAK]

We (Myself, Wife, 20yr Daughter, 15yr Son, 12yr Son, 9yr Son, & 2yr Daughter) are going to Disney for two days between 12/18 & 12/22. Here is our dilemma...


One Day is for sure at EPCOT...Parents Vote...LOL.


Day two we are trying to decide between Hollywood Studios and The Magic Kingdom. All the kids are big Star Wars fans, while it looks like there are a few new attractions, it looks to me like there is more overall subtractions right now than additions.


We were just in all four parks in June of 2015.


Which park should we visit for our second day Hollywood Studios or Magic Kingdom?


Thanks in Advance!!!

MK hands down! Although I love HS, there is soooooo much more to do in MK!
Especially with your many children!

HS. Tower of Terror, Rock N Roll Coaster, Sci-Fi Dine in Theatre, Star Wars. The 2 year old would be the only one likely more 'bored' than the others.

We actually like HS a bit more, but my sons are Star Wars Fans. Any chance you can spring for Park Hoppers and do MK in the morning and HS afternoon and night? We have day planned split between the two this December. Our kids are often done with what they want to do in MK by lunch or so, but we don't ride Space Mountain or Splash.

The Star Wars fireworks won't be going on nor the daily Star Wars parade (I think). So you'll have the launch bay and the Star Tours ride. Other than the thrill rides of the Roller Coaster and Tower. Toy Story isn't really a ride for 2 year olds. Also, everything else is a show, Little Mermaid, Disney Jr, Indiana Jones, Beauty and the Beast. That is an awful lot of sitting for a 2 year old. I know as mine is now 3. But there will be a new Christmas Fireworks show and of course Fantasmic (another 27 minute long show).

Do Magic Kingdom. More attractions for the whole family. Better park layout. More dining. Sure the electrical light parade is gone, but you'll have wishes. Just be aware of the Christmas Party nights which is a separate ticketed event..

If it's ever MK or anything on a short trip, I'm going to vote MK. There's so much there that you can just do your favorites. Also, you're already doing Epcot where I assume you will want to do World Showcase and (I also assume) that's why it was parents' vote so you can do MK the next day for a ride heavy day, which HS wouldn't be.

How could you not go to MK on a trip.

They just announced nighttime Christmas festivities at DHS - check it out. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...ollywood-studios-at-walt-disney-world-resort/

why not just add on the PH option? do both

Since you've been there, How about you let the kids pick and split up? I was going around wdw with my sister when we were at their age. You can go where your daughter wants to go and the 9 year old might follow, he's going to be the question mark in this.

The MK without question. DHS has so few attractions now it's not a full day park and there's not so much there for your littlest one.

If you feel like you spent so much time at the MK your last trip and saw very little of DHS then perhaps - but still no....lol! There's so so so much more to ride and do at the MK. Adding on the park hopper and letting your kids split up (even on the Epcot day) would solve the problem as well.

Definitely MK

I have to agree with the majority, I would do MK. It has a lot more to offer and enough to keep everyone in your party both busy and happy.
