Good day everyone. It has been a while since I have been at WDW and wondering if there is a strategy to choosing which parks to visit now with the park reservations.
Our stay is a Sunday to Sunday one, first full week of June. As of right now all the parks are showing green.

Which days are best for Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom?
We will fill in with AK and Epcot based on when we go to the others.

Is there a strategy now? We are 3 adults, no young children, if that matters> Thank you for any help you can provide.
 
First, make your reservations soon as the allotments will fill especially for DHS and MK. DHS seems to fill every day, so there may not be much a strategy there and I would avoid MK on the weekends. Epcot is also busier on weekends and there are more likely to be people who have had a little too much to drink on Fridays and Saturdays, especially in the evenings.
 
Hollywood is the hardest to get and the most desirable, so if you’d like to get on ROTR maybe more than once, make more reservations for there. Second to that would be the MK.

if you have a doubt about a day, book Hollywood and switch later as you will be less likely to get that one again.

also plan if there are any in park restaurants you want and check ADRs for those as you will only be guaranteed to get to your ADR if you have a park reservation there that day.
 
Thanks Was thinking HS on Tuesday and Thursday / Mk on Monday / Epcot on Friday / AK Saturday. We have park hoppers so can mix / match as we normally don't stay in HS or AK all day. Wanted two days at HS in case we are not able to get Rise of Resistance the first day. Anything you would change? We are early risers so would be there at park penning. I know you can now try for the virtual queue at 7am and will try then.

Do you have APs? Otherwise I see yellow for most of the first 3 weeks in June. In which case, your best DHS day will be whichever one you can get. The other parks all look ok, except MK on a couple of dates but you should be able to work around that. I'd get your park reservations done sooner rather than later. And as you work through plans (dining, etc.) you may be able to swap things around.
 
Personally, I think DHS is a good park to do on the weekends if you can get a reservation because it's the park that always seems to be the busiest and sold out, so the crowds don't fluctuate as much during the week.
