Some things we need to know in order to help you:

Are you staying onsite?
Do you have park hoppers?
What are the ages of the people in your party?
Are you early morning people?
Do you prefer late nights?

 

[Erin Sims]

We are staying in the park. All Sports.
We Do have park hoppers. We have four children: one girl, 7; three boys, aged 11, 12, and 12. More early morning than late nights, but really could do either. We like it when it's cool!!

June on the whole is pretty busy so it really dosnt matter what days you do when..some people have crowd calendars to help but honestly...book your fastpasses and you will be fine. Parks with Extra magic hours tend to be a bit busier than others but totally manageable so dont let that put you off. You will have a blast whatever you choose , hope you get plenty pixie dust on your first visit

We really enjoy the early morning hours. On the 5th AK has an early EMH of 7 am. IF you can get up and get there by 7 am, you'll probably have the park almost to yourself for at least an hour and low crowds until about 10 or 11 am. The other perk to that is it will be much cooler during the morning hours. After getting up that early, I'd do a late breakfast/early lunch in AK and then head back to the resort for a nap. After nap, I suggest HS in order to do either F! or the Star Wars Spectacular. I would probably make my FP+ for HS for late afternoon, early evening.

I'm going to skip to your Thur and Fri. EP has early EMH on Thur at 8 am. I'd head there if Frozen Ever After is a priority. Make FP+ for Test Trak. Tour until after lunch then head back for some rest. For the evening, perhaps MK.

Fri has early EMH at MK at 8 am. Evening I'd spend at either AK or HS. You need two nights at HS if you want to see both F! and the Star Wars Spectacular and you need an evening at AK for the new Pandora. AK has late EMH every night you are there until 1 am. Just be sure if you use it, to plan a late morning the next day.

Tues I would start at either MK or HS. Don't do EP at all this day, so evening could be at any of the other three.
Wed start at any of the parks, and end up at EP in the evening for Illuminations.

We are going the same week and doing this:
Sunday, June 4th - MK
Monday - DHS
Tues - AK
Wed - EP
Thursday - EP
Friday - MK

I looked at a variety of websites crowd recommendations to work these days out. Kenny the pirate is a good one. I am going to avoid parks that have EMH this trip, to see if it really affects crowds that much. I also planned our days based on where we were staying though - the latter part of the trip, we will be at Beach Club, so I left Epcot until we got there.

We've been many times the first week of June and have found the crowds to be very manageable. We are not rope droppers, but try to get there shortly after opening, stay until lunchtime and then head back to the resort for a swim/rest break; then we head back to the parks in the evening. June is hot, so using this strategy,we are out of the parks during the hottest time of the day.

Thank you!!! This helps tremendously!!!

See Post #8 in the FP FAQ, or the "Priorities & Tiers" link in my signature below.

Welcome to Disboards! I just want to warn you...I have been in June several times, and the weather will not be "cool." Not even at night. In the early morning and the evening will be the coolest, but you are still looking at possible high 70's and 80's during the evening and early mornings. Make sure you hydrate and drink plenty of water.

you might be a bit late to the party, as some of the "must do" rides might have limited availability but there are plenty of posts on the best rides. Depending upon your travelling party, the answer will vary tremendously!
