One day at AK and MK

[wxnerdz]

Hello everyone! Looking for a little advice for our trip to WDW on Thursday, April 21. We've been to Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios several times but we want to hit up Animal Kingdom this time around. We will have a one-day park hopper pass.

Below is the list of rides we DEFINITELY want to ride during the span of our one day.

I'm trying to figure out which park to start at and how to use our fast passes. Any advice would be appreciated!

Magic Kingdom
Seven dwarfs mine train
Space Mountain
Big thunder mountain railroad
Splash mountain

Animal Kingdom
Dinosaur
Expedition Everest
Kali river rapids
Safari (maybe)

Hollywood Studios
Rock N roller Coaster (probably will save this for last if we have time and use single rider line)

You want to do all those rides in one day?

Totally doable considering the time of year. You can have Magic Kingdom done by lunch and the others done by 5-6 PM which leaves just enough time to hop again.

Unless they already have an early Fastpass for Seven Dwarfs, then they should ride that one first at rope drop. Immediately following they need to hit up Space Mountain and could probably ride both of those in the first half hour if Space doesn't have a long line yet, otherwise Fastpassing Space and riding Big Thunder immediately after Seven Dwarfs is the way to go. Those three rides can be down before 10 AM if you time it right.

I was literally going to write exactly what you wrote. This is what I would follow for certain.

Also I would purchase that pass for the bus that brings you gate to gate and allows you to skip the line? I don't know much about it but have heard a lot of positive things.

Totally doable considering the time of year.

Easter is on 4/16. I would think a lot of schools will still be on break the week prior and week after and when schools are on break, the parks are quite crowded.

The day of the week could really matter here - you say Thursday, April 21. April 21 is actually a Friday, Thursday is April 20. Thursday MK EMH's start at 7AM, Friday MK EMH's start at 8AM, per the current calendar.

My bad! It's April 20.
