Keeping it simple

Ok we are doing a small stop at wdw for a 3night 4 day stay. After the stay at wdw heading to the universal parks followed by a disney cruise. So I'm trying hard not to over do my stay at wdw. I have it set for 2 day base tickets. No mnsshp. Myself, dh and ds7. So far I'm leaning towards mk and ak. Resort and pool/putt putt one day and disney springs one day. Debating on hopper add on. I haven't used it much in the past and when I did I felt it took to long. Main reason being I suppose would be dining. Play at the parks then dine over to epcot. We have a lunch ressie for yak an yeti which we do like. Then over to mk I have bog for lunch and plaza for dinner. Thinking of passing on bog and have plaza for lunch then head to epcot for dinner on both park days. I'm over thinking these four days for sure! Opinions?

Also looking at the 'maybe' of rivers of light at ak and fireworks at mk.

I personally wouldn't get too crazy with dining. But that's because we like the food at Universal more, and DCL will have tons of food all included. When we're at the parks we get more and more full as the days go on, and getting onto a cruise ship while full just isn't fun for us. (this would be worse if we actually *liked* food on cruises all that much LOL)

But for us we *would* hit the parks pretty hard. We love Universal more, so we would leave WDW for Uni early and spend the moving-day at Uni, but I probably wouldn't spend much time at Disney Springs. If doing minigolf we would likely save it for Citywalk, because their courses are soooo cool. (full disclosure, though- we haven't played at the WDW courses yet) Depending on the time of year, Universal might have pretty short hours, which means evenings are free for things like minigolf.

I wouldn't hop to EP to dine unless you want to see the rest of the park. Especially with the new nighttime entertainment at AK, I would plan to spend a whole day there. I, then, wouldn't spend the money to hop on only one day. On your MK day, if you would like to eat outside of the park, how about at one of the MK resorts? O'hana is fun! Whispering Canyon, too. Or head over to Trail's End and enjoy the playground and stables for a little bit. The Wave at CR and GF Cafe are also good. Then head back to MK for Wishes. Again, I wouldn't go to EP just to eat, but if you are interested in doing other things there, then I would consider the hopper.

Definitely trying to keep focus on universal since we haven't been. Staying at royal pacific 11/2-11/6. Planning the golf course there!

The only thing we would do at epcot would me nemo and new soar in and with Hollywood studios toy story that's why I've chose mk and ak. Ak evening would be really only day worth hopping and that yet to be seen about rol. Thanks I'm definitely trying to talk myself down not add to much!
