How would you divide up 6 park days without hopping?

[Gentry2004]

Trip is December 16-23, with 6 park days 17-22. We generally don't do much park hopping, even the year we had AP's we only hopped maybe 5 times in the 28 park days we had that year.

I have two daughters 14 and 11 who have been to WDW many times, and like all rides. My inital thought was 2 days at MK and DHS and 1 day at Epcot and AK.

My only hesitation is will the Guardians ride make EP hard to manage in one day due to crowds? Would you divide the days up differently? Pay for park hoppers even if we would only use them once or twice?

where are you staying? will you have deluxe evening hours? if so than you might not need 2 days at MK. Personally my go to is to morning rope drop MK/HS than hop to EP/AK in the evening after a good mid day lunch or break back at the room/swim.

Do you plan to use genie+ at all? Hopping might be better with genie+ so you can get 1-2 in the morning than start stacking for night hops.

We always do 6 days without hopping. Always 2 days at MK and decide on the other park to go to twice depending on what our boys want to do. Last trip we did two HS days to increase our chances of getting a ROTR boarding pass.

Unsure if we are staying on or offsite, but we will not have extended evening hours either way. Definitely planning to use Genie+ most/all days, may do a split stay on/offsite if that is the only way to get to ride Guardians. Onsite hotels are nuts during our week. Pop is $335.

I imagine we will need 2 days at HS because we haven't been to Galaxy's Edge and also my DD's love RNR and ToT. I think AK is an obvious 1 day park. So I guess its just a question of two days at MK because, well, MK, or does EP need a second day? I guess I've mostly answered my own question. Thanks!

6 days is our norm also. (Me and 13yo DD). 2 MK, 2 EP, 1 DHS and 1 AK but we can easily fill 2 at DHS now too so it would be personal decision.

If you purchase ILL for Guaridans and Remy, and purchase G+ so you can LL either Test Track or Frozen (and rope drop the other), then you shoujld be able to do Epcot in one day without much waiting in lines.

Except we don't know for sure yet that Guardians will have ILL option.
