My Turn-Need Plan for 3.5 days in the parks

[happily single]

I am planning my first ever "adult only" trip, this will be a quick 3.5 day trip. We are staying at POFQ and will not have a rental car. Right now we are only interested in going to EPCOT and Magic Kingdom. We also plan on spending time at Disney Springs. I was hoping to only do 2 or 3 days in the park, not 3.5 days.

We arrive at appx 10:00 a.m. on June 10th and leave at apprx. 6:00 p.m. on the 13th.

Right now we only have one dinner reservation at EPCOT on the 11th which we could change/re-schedule.

We are undecided on whether we want park-hoppers. The cost makes me say no, but I am open to hopping between parks.

Any suggestions on which park we do on which day?

My last 10 day trip was the 1st time I did 1 park per day tickets. And it worked for me. I left the option to add park hopper if I needed. It was $60 no matter how many days I had left on the ticket. You can add it if you want at any parks. This last trip I also stayed at POFQ. Loved the boat to Disney Springs.

Which day for each park is subjective. I am an early riser, so I picked EMH early days. Then I'm out by early afternoon to relax at the resort.

When are you going? What attractions are a must see? How do you want to spend the day and evening?

There are no real "must sees". Also I believe *just our luck* that the EMH do not apply to the parks we are interested in. We arrive on June 10th and leave on the 13th

There are no EMH, but on the 11th they have "Early Morning Magic" in Fantasyland. You get food and early entry. I think I would try this if I was taking a short trip.

I'm a big fan of the park hopper, have never done a trip without them. For a short trip like that, I'd probably try to do two parks on one day, maybe AK and HS then on day two maybe Epcot/MK. I'm a huge Epcot fan but since MK is known for extending hours in the summer, I'd probably plan on MK in the morning then over to Epcot and if they extend MK hours, finish up in MK. That gives you that full day at DS. Or alternatively, you could do a full MK day, a full Epcot day and 1/2 day at either AK or HS, not have PHs and you are still only doing 2.5 days.

It makes sense to get the hopper on a short trip. I have to go to DS for TSM, but that is about all that is a "must" for me. AK is optional for length of trip. MK would be 2 days, and Epcot would be 1 day. I've heard Saturday has higher attendance at MK than Sunday, but don't have 1st hand knowledge.
