Option 2 is my vote. AK is not our favorite park either, but I can't imagine skipping it altogether. Focus on the things the kiddos can do and enjoy!

I like option 2 as well... though my son LOVES AK and we couldn't skip it.

thanks for the opinions. My kids love Magic Kingdom and had 2.5 days last year in September. I wonder if 3 days will be enough during the more crowded June months.

Is POR worth the alotted "resort time" ?

Yes lots to do at the resort. surrey bikes, evening carriage rides, fishing, main pool and then quiet pools, Piano player in the lounge movie in the evening on the lawn(offered last year when we visited).
