How long do we need to do all 4 parks?

[essmom]

Ok, we are thinking about coming back in late July- I know it'll be crowded but that's how our schedules work. I want to go to all 4 parks- can we do 2 in one day? Maybe Epcot/MGM? We have been to all but Epcot but it was 6 years ago when kids were 5 and 7 they are now 11 and 13 and want to come back. any thoughts???We plan to stay at Fort Wilderness Lodge. Thanks

To really enjoy Epcot you really need two days alone for this park.....two days for MK. MGM/DS is pretty much a one day park and DAK can usually be done in just half a day.

For just the four parks only (no DTD or water parks):

MK 1.0 day
MGM 1.0 day
Epcot 1.5 days
AK .5 day

At least four days.

Last year, I did :

MK in a day and a half - not nearly enough time
EPCOT in a day - not enough time
MGM in a day - just about enough time
AK in a day - plenty of time

This year, I will do:

MK in two days
EPCOT in a day and a half
MGM in a day
AK in a half day

I guess it depends a lot on what you want to do in each park, but I like to have:
MK: 2 days
Epcot: 2 days (1 day being a sleep in day and then visiting World Showcase which opens at 11 am)
AK: 1 day
MGM: 1 day (and depending on what shows you want to see, you may need another 1/2 day here, because of conflicting show times)

Good luck!

My preferred trip is no less than 5 days. That gives you one day for each park and one day to go back and do something you missed. Keep in mind that AK closes earlier than the other parks, so if you have hopper passes you can go over to another park on that day. We tend to go to AK and then hop over to Epcot, since the World Showcase is open late.

Thanks for the replies- I'm assuming these times are if you do everything in the park- I am thinking we will not do everything so I'm thinking one day for Epcot, one for MK and maybe MGM/ AK same day!!! Mine want to go to Universal too- went 2 years ago so I need to factor in 2 days there. So that'll be 5 days- it makes me tired just thinking about it all. Any good websites where I can find maps, top attractions etc. Thanks again
