Ok I need some advice. Today they released the tix for P&PP on April 1st. So we called and booked that!
Heres the problem. Since we are getting base tix we are gonna wait until 4pm and go to MK on the 1st so we dont waste a days ticket. So the day we arrive we can go to a theme park. Our question which one do U need 2 days in?!
Here is what we have planned for now:
3/27: Arrival (8:30am)
NEED PLANS for the day!
3/28: Animal Kingdom
ADR: WCC @ Wilderness Lodge (dinner)
3/29: MK
ADR: CRT (Breakfast)
3/30: Epcot
Behind The Seeds Tour
ADR: Le Cellier (Dinner)
3/31: MGM (Hollywood Studios)
ADR: Sci-Fi Drive In (Lunch)
4/1: DTD (P&PP)
ADR: CP (Dinner before party)
4/2: Departure (5:30)
DTD & resort
So I need a another park to go to the first day and a good place to eat there!

Definitely Epcot! How about Rose and Crown--we enjoyed it, but they have changed the menu some this past year. Or try Garden Grill--if you have kids with you, you see Mickey and pals without having to wait in those terrible lines!

I agree on Epcot! It is such a big park, it definitely takes 2 days to see it all! As for meals, we love the Biergarten in Germany. There is something on the buffet for everyone.

Or we have just gotten CS meals in several different countries and shared. That is fun and lets you sample many different foods.

Depending on the age of your kids, you may want to do 2 days (or at least a day and a half) in MK. We used to limit this to one day and it was crazy to try to hit all of my children's favorite attractions. Now, we always do 2 days in MK and it makes touring the MK such a pleasure.

I definitely agree with everything you just said. MK depending on the ages of the children. Mine are 16 and 9 and we always do 2 days at the MK. EPCOT is a big park and we absolutely love it, but MK can be overwhelming to try and squeeze into one day.

We are doing 2 days at mk already so we are gonna add 2 days to epcot also. then 1 day at aniaml kingdom and 1 day at hollywood studios!

I would eat BEFORE entering MK you don't get in until 4pm, why waste an hour or two sitting and eating a TS meal? Try 1900 Park Fare (Grand Floridian and should have Pooh/Tigger) or Chef Mickey's(Contemporary) for a late breakfast after 11am and use that as your big meal of the day. We had an 11:10 ADR at Chef Mickey's. The buffet was extensive, hot and fresh during our leisurely meal. The characters were awesome too. You can grab something later at Cosmic Ray's, Peco Bill's or other CS during the party. We grabbed food from Peco Bill's and sat along the parade route and ate.

Sounds like you've done some homework, but be sure to look at the parade and firework schedule to make sure you get to see the shows you want. That may influence your park decision too. We also had our Epcot plans changed twice due to rain so keep that in mind too. On one day we spent the morning at the pool, afternoon at AK 'til closing, Epcot for Illuminations after dinner then went to MK for EMH. I chalk that up as a great day at Disney. We missed Illuminations earlier in the trip and were glad to be able to make it up.

Finally, its a one time flat rate to make a ticket a Hopper, $45 and can be done anytime on a valid ticket. Just in case you decided to make a change on the fly. We had quite a plan, but with rain altering plans and the daily request of a 6yo for MK and Goofy's Barnstormer we were glad for park hoppers!
