Do you go to the parks in the same order every visit?

We always do MK the first day. I never feel like I'm truely there unless I walk down Main street and see the castle. Last day is also MK so we can properly say good bye. In between, the days go by what days have night time extra magic hours We only get to go every couple of years, so I try to cram in as much park time as possible.
 
We do it the same way every year. we love the EMH and use them if it falls in with our plans, but we don't schedule around them.

*Day of Arrival: DTD for dinner and then take a bus to Epcot and ride the monorail to MK so we can catch a glimpse of the castle.
*Day1: DHS - my least favorite park so we like to get it out of the way, plus I LOVE Fantasmic and feel like it kind of gears me up
*Day 2: EPCOT FW. We stay in FW all day, strolling over to WS for lunch and then back to FW till park closing. We will usually leave long enough to have dinner at AoA food court.
*Day 3: EPCOT WS. On this day we sleep in (sleeping til 7 a.m. is late for us) and get to FW around 9:30 and then head straight to WS a few minutes before 11. We spend an entire day country hopping and stick around for Illuminations.
*Day 4: AK. We usually stay most of the day, but this is a day we like to take our time, go back to our room early, and pick another resort to hop to and enjoy a meal or eat at our own food court and then relax by the pool.
*Day5: MK. We do the Fantasylands, all our character M&G's and Tomorowland. On this day we do parades and shows.
*Day6: MK. We do Adventureland, Frontierland and Liberty Square, and then any repeats we want to do in the other lands + shopping. We save Wishes for our last night.
 
No tend to jump around. We usually walk through the gates of MK first but that's only because it's one monorail stop away and we need to purchase a new TiW card from City Hall on Main Street.
 

No, we plan around the crowd calendars but we try to go to MK as soon as it is recommended.
 
We never do the same order and rarely do the same order second time around on one trip. Between forecasted crowd levels , dining reservations, and late EMH each trip ends up different.
 
I use a crowd calendar + dates for MVMCP + staying at EPCOT resort as factors. Since I go about the same time each year, it usually works out to same order.
EPCOT on arrival and departure days + Saturday
MK on MVMCP Thursday and Sunday.
DHS on Friday
Mondays I leave open for resort visits or tours or whatever.
 
I usually head to MK the first day, but if it's a "red" park for crowd level then we'll head somewhere else. I just usually don't really feel "home" til I see that castle! :rotfl:

As for the last day, we ALWAYS park hop through 3-4 of the parks and end the night off at MK to say good bye to Disney
 
I pick parks based on parades and shows and then add ADR's. In other words our order is all over the place depending on convenience and what we wish to do.
 
We partly go by crowd levels to schedule dining reservations and therefore the parks. So its usually not the same. A lot of times though we will hold off on our favorite park til our 2nd full day. We usually hit MK upon arrival and spend a few hours there. Then HS or AK next day and Epcot the next.
