Help! I Have Never Park Hopped Before

[SarahKathleen2006]

Hey guys I am plannin' a trip from 10-15 with just me and my grandmother! We have everything planed besides what parks to visit and when. We have the park hopper option but have never used it before. We only have four days because one day we are going to the spa and Victoria and Albert's. We all of are ADRs are made for around six and we are eating in MGM once Epcot twice and the CG on our park days. Any advice on how to plan multiple park days? THANKS!

Are you staying on site? If so, I would plan according to the EMH schedule. We like the evening EMH-- so we planned on going to a non-evening EMH park during the day, and then we would hed to the evening EMH park around 6-7pm.

You might also want to plan on spending some time at your resort in between parks to relax.

Have fun

Hi fellow Hoosier! If you are early morning people, go to the early entry park. Then, when it starts to get crowded, hop over to the park you are eating dinner. (You also might want a little rest before going to your second park.)
If you are not early risers, avoid the early entry park. I've heard that you should go to the park that had late night hours the prior evening because people will not be going to it that morning. Am I making sense? Have fun!

We have found that any park is great the first few hours of opening, so we get there at opening. It starts to get crowded by 11, and that is when we have lunch (ADR) and then head out to the resort for a break. We usually head back to the parks around dinner time and expect to get less "done", but enjoy dinner and the surroundings as well as the fireworks. It works well for us.
Good luck! Enjoy!

I would recommend that you plan on being in the park where you will be having your dinner. This will save you time trying to get around. After dinner you can then stay in that park or hop over to another. If you want to get from Epcot to the Disney Studios there is boat service throughout the day. The Friendship boats run between the two parks stopping along the way at the Swan/Dolphin, Boardwalk and Yacht/Beach clubs. The Epcot resort area has numerous stores and restaurants you may find enjoyable.
