How many MK days with toddlers?

[Picabo]

We'll be there 8nts, staying at the Poly. Is 2 days at MK enough and 1 day each at the other parks? (Trying to build in a day or 2 of non-park days to recooperate!) I'm so afraid we'll regret only 2 MK days but not sure how else to fit it all in and still have down time!

Thanks!!!

Thats what we usually do. We usually only spend a 3/4 of a day at AK and DHS with our young kids. We have gone to disney with toddlers four times and that was our plan every time - no regrets.
Remember if you miss something it will just give you a reason to return for another trip.

we spent minimal time at epcot when kids were 4 and 2, i would have a minimum of 2 mornings at MK and 2 evenings, that way u don't have to rush and the kids can see it at their speed. Make sure u leave at noonish every day for a swim/nap break

Honestly, we always do 3 days at MK and 1 at each of the others. I think you'd be fine doing only 2, but since you're staying on the monorail you could probably very easily plan on 3 and go back to your resort if you need to ect.

For our 7 days, we're doing MK 4 times, each of the other 3 parks 1 times. We're doing this because our kids are 3, 2, and 2 and this is the only park that we KNOW they are going to ABSOLUTELY love. Epcot is for us, not them.....but we'll go anyway.....DHS will be fun because of the Pixar and Playhouse Disney stuff (both of which our kids like/enjoy).....AK will have the dinos......but nothing worth spending much more than a day.....

MK has all the fun kid-friendly rides and attractions.

That's our plan, at least.....

I only planned 2 park days at MK the first time with a 2 and 6 yo. I left our off day open - we slept in, swam, had lunch, napped, and then went to MK, which our 6 yo requested (more MK!). I think that as long as you leave that day open and "read" your kids (do they want another day at MK or would they rather just hang out all day?), you should be good.

There is stuff for small kids to see at the other parks, but you could consider skipping one if it doesn't appeal to you/there isn't much to see for small kids. I personally wouldn't skip Epcot, because I love it, or AK, because everyone in our family loves animals, but I could have skipped DHS even with the PHD characters.

We also did a 9 day vacation. My DS (5) and DD (2 1/2). We did 1 full day, and two 1/2 days at MK. It was definately enough, but we also did not have long wait times on any of the rides. We did all 4 parks, then took a day off. I think one day off was enough. My kids favorite parks ended up being Epcot and AK. So, that is where we went back to on our last days. We also didn't rush in the parks. We took our time. We definately didn't see everything, but they were clueless to what they missed and had a great vacation.
Good luck and have a great vacation!

We were there for eight days and went to MK five times. My kids could go to that park every day and be happy.
