I know this may be hard to answer but we will be taking our girls in Novmeber for the first time. They will be 4 &6. How many days, half days... do you think for each park? I know MK will be where most our time is spent but not sure how long on the others.
Thank you in advance!
 
How many days are you going to be there? I would plan on visiting every park, especially if you don't go to WDW often. I'd plan on MK twice if time allows. I also like to take break days swimming/shopping between every 2 days of parks or so. I typically prefer not to take hotel breaks in the afternoon. It just takes so much time away from the park. Perhaps if the parks are really busy would I consider it. However, November is a slow time so the crowds should be good. At your kids ages, I think they would also enjoy Sea World.

We will be there for 8 days. We are staying at POFQ.
 
I would plan at least 2 full days for MK and Epcot, AK can be done in a day. MGM we used to do in 1 day, but it's gotten a lot better in the last few years, so maybe 1 1/2 - 2 days. It also depends on whether you take breaks in the afternoon. We never do. It just wastes so much time when you could be in the parks.
 

Im planning on 2 per park. Dinner around 5, then either me or DH taking dd 2 to the room to be bathed and put to bed. Then whoever didnt take the baby that day, can go to the park w emh evening hours :yay:
 
We have DD5 and DS1 and usually spend 2 days at MK, 1 MGM, 1 AK and 2 at Epcot. We do take afternoon breaks most days for lunch & swimming. We even take a day off to spend at Hotel and possibly some DTD shopping. We have not taken the kids to Sae world yet but are going this time. MGM we get there when it opens and usually leave around 4 or 5 pm, when we go off peak like you are. going in November is great! Nice weather and low crowds and your kids won't have to wait long to see characters and for rides. Have a goo trip!
 
We would do MK, AK & MGM till around 2 or 3 oclock and go back & relax and shower the kids. Then we would use the evenings to do epcot and the kids were happy just relaxing in the strollers. We found this worked great.
 
I like Kaysmommie's plans. However, you may not need an entire 2 days at Epcot. If you have a park hopper you can split a MK/Epcot day. However, if not, it won't hurt to enjoy 2 full days at each park. It will allow you time to stop and smell the roses!

We are doing the hopper. I'm glad I'm asking because I originaly thought I would need only one day at Epcot, MGM & AK. Not sure how much for my girls? I appreciate all of your advice!
 
I have done Epcot in 1 day but we only went in 4 attactions in Future world and walked through the World showcase to get the passport stamp in each country and rushed through them instead of really looking around and seeing all the attractions or sampling food during food & wine festival. It would be alot of cramming to see most of epcot in 1 day. My DD loved epcot at 3 so your DD's might like it too. some kids find it boring though (me included).
