How long in each park?

[maidmarion]

We're going in mid-Dec, so we will have short hours. We are two energetic adults with no kids. I know that we will miss some stuff. How long will it take us to really experience each park? (I mean in hours.)

Thanks in advance for the help!

I'm not sure about exact hours, but you'll need 2 full days for Epcot, a full day (with short hours) for MGM, most of the day for AK (hop over to Epcot in the evening, since they'll be open until 9:00 pm) and at LEAST a full day, if not 2, for Magic Kingdom.

That sounds about right...Don't forget a 1/2 day at Downtown Disney and a 1/2 day at the water parks.

I would be sure to save time for the Candlelight Processional in Epcot. If you don't make PS for dinner and the show, be sure to make time for the wait in line, it could be an hour wait, even more if you're going on a weekend.

Going on Halloween!

2 days for Epcot (including some time for CP)
1-2 days for MK
1 day for MGM
1 day for AK
1/2 day for Downtown Disney (Does this include Disney Quest and Pleasure Island?)
1/2 day for Blizzard beach (TL will be closed when we're there.)

Well, that goes slightly over our time there! Whoops!

You are all great for helping! Can't wait to be there!

well i have been to disney many many times and it has never taken me that long to experience all the attractions at each park, given I always go during the slower times of the year. My fiance and I will go and to MK when it opens at 9 and by 1 we're outta there and back to the hotel or DD. One day we experienced every single attraction at AK in less than 3 hours . Thats given we didnt really have any waits. I guess it depends on how well you know the parks and know what you want to do . I think you could do each park in 1 day if you plan and if crowds are under control.Just know your "must sees" and dont waste time on what you dont really want to. Also if crowds are high take advantage of fast pass.

Hmmm. Must-sees. That's going to be hard because I forced my partner to sit down with me and figure out our must-sees last night per recommendation- let's just say our "Must-sees" would probably take three weeks to complete! Let the pruning begin!

Thanks again everyone!
