Help me choose two parks

[bdink921]

Hi all!! We're going on the 4 day Wonder cruise in November and will have 2--only 2 --days at WDW following the cruise. I don't know which parks to choose for those 2 days . It's DS's 8th birthday the day we disembark . I love all of the parks--Magic Kingdom is most likely one of the parks we'll go to. On our last trip DH really loved Epcot--but also got sick at the end of the trip and missed most of DS and AK. Or should we--gasp!--go off site to like Sea World or something ? We're staying somewhere on site--CSR so far for now, but that is subject to change LOL. So come on all you WDW lovers--what do you think???

Day One at Magic Kingdom, day two at Epcot. That's what I'd do!

Day one at MK, day two get a hopper pass and choose Epcot and another park. Be sure to NOT go out of Disney, because I think you'll feel much more rushed that way. This way you could hop and hit all your most favorite park rides and shows, and take advantage of Disney transportaion.

I agree MK is a must and be sure to go to City Hall and let them know about the birthday. Epcot is our families second favorite. My DS - age 8 1/2 chose to skip AK this next trip for 2 days at Epcot. Also Epcot isn't a late night if you need to get up early to travel.

I agree with the other posters, I would choose MK for one day and Epcot for the second. That is not to say that I don't enjoy MGM or AK but if I had to choose only 2 that is what I would do.
Alternately, you could purchase park hoppers and do a full day at MK and split a day between MGM early and Epcot late in the second day. Make an ADR for a WS restaurant and enjoy. It is very easy to do both of these parks in one day because of their close proximity to each other - a short boat ride apart, or if you have the stamina a longish walk away.
Enjoy!

I agree -- MK and Epcot. They are our two favorites also.

Thanks for all of your replies--Magic Kingdom and Epcot were pretty much the ones I was leaning toward

I would do what DisneyDreamingAubreey suggested - purchase a hopper pass for one of the days. If it were me, I'd do a whole day at Epcot and a hopper day for MK and MGM, and then maybe to AK just for FoLK and KS. At MK I like a lot of rides but I'd rather skip some of them than skip my must-dos at Epcot (Maelstrom, SE at least 4 times, Test Track at least 4 times, Living with the Land, Ellen's Universe of Energy, and walking the pavilions).

But it depends on your preferences.

To tell you the truth, what I would do is get park-hopper passes. That way you can hit three or even all four parks over the two days. But if that's not an option then I would go with Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Epcot is the best park all-around in my opinion while a trip to WDW without the Magic Kingdom is like soup without crackers. Just not the same.

I agree with all of the above.

My two parks would be EPCOT and MGM. They are my favorites in all of Florida. EPCOT is my favorite one period. Out of all the parks I have been too.

I think I'd do MK and Ak. Maybe get a hopper pass and when AK closed go to either Epcot or DS.

Wow! I guess I'm the voice of dissent. If DH never really saw AK or MGM, I'd do MK on one of the days (depending on EMH schedule), and do a split AK (or MGM)/Epcot day on the second day, but it really would also depend on the EMH schedule. I'd use that to get the most out of my two days! I might even do an AK/MGM split the second day.

Two days in WDW is almost like torture!
