Have 3 days at Disney, which parks should we do?

[lazermom]

We're taking our 3 kids - 2 boys ages 3 and 8 and 1 girl age 6. Which 3 parks should we do? We're going at the end of April.

We'll definitely do Magic Kingdom - other than that, I'm not sure.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I would suggest Animal Kingdom and MGM since you have 3 children. Epcot can be a disappointment for kids because a lot of it is educational. Unless you do Epcot the first day. If you do MK they may find Epcot very disappointing. If they like animals, and what kids don't, they will enjoy animal kingdom.

It's all a matter of you'r taste. No matter what 3 parks you decide on - you won't be disappointed.

Welcome to the boards

i disagree... epcot is awesome (i realize i am not helping the o/p much!) for young and old alike... my kids have always loved it!

will you have park hopppers? if so, i'd do AK in the morning (if there is an early entry day aka extra magic hour) that's a huge plus and epcot in the evening, saving a full day for MK and maybe also combine a little epcot w/mgm another day... epcot is like two parks in one imo...

Welcome!


Will you have park-hopping feature? If not I would say to skip AK since there is probably not enogh there to warrant a full day for your family. With three days -and with young kids -I would recommend two days at MK and one day at MGM. MK is just unparalled for the magic it will bring to your family, and you rellay can't tour it well in one day. MGM has lots of shows and a handful of rides that will appeal to most families. Plus, with MGM you get to stick around for Fantasmic. There is no nightshow like that at AK

Get park hoppers and do all 4.

Or maybe one day at epcot, one day at MK and then get a hooper one day and split MGM and AK.

We've got 2 kids (4 and 18mo), every trip we've done, we do Epcot first. My kids both like it, we do AK the second day (DS's fav) and then MK and MGM last. If I had to drop one, it would be MGM. But I like the idea of park hopping on an EMH day with AK and MGM. If one of the parks had EMH, we could definately do both in one day.

I'd get hoppers and do all 4 parks. I'd do my first day at AK then head to MGM, 2nd day at MK, 3rd day at Epcot and then have the option of revisiting any of the parks that I felt the need to go back to on the Epcot day. DD4 and I usually spend the least amount of time at MGM.

I'd also get hoppers. Most kids don't like the WS as much as FW so you could do both Future World in Epcot and the AK in the same day. AK has never taken me longer than 3:00 in the afternoon if I start at opening time. (Kilimanjaro Safaris, Dinosaur, Primeval Whirl, Lion King, and Tarzan Rocks)
