One day at WDW with a park hopper - suggestions?

[jepritch]

Hi!

I am going to be in Florida on business and decided to go down a day early and spend the day at Disney. I'm going to stay onsite that night. I'll be arriving on July 13th around 10am. I know that MK has EMH till 1am.

I'm trying to decide on a plan of action. My thoughts are maybe spending the first half of the day at Epcot and then heading over to MK for the evening, but I want to maximize my time. Any suggestions?

I think your plan is a good one. Not sure how the best way to use your fps. You could use your three in epcot then take the monorail over to mk to start your fourth fp(and so on) but you can only get one fp from the first tier which leaves you with two fps for rides that usually don't require them. I still would leave mk as your second park since it will be open till 1am

Depends on what interests you most among the other three parks. Of course you'll end up at MK, so to maximize your time, choose the other park carefully.

Epcot and the Studios have tiers for FP+. Animal Kingdom doesn't. That might be a factor.

Or here's a wild suggestion: do a Greatest Hits tour of all four parks.

DW and I did a one day hopper tour of AK and MK in May. Spur of the moment walk up. No FPs reserved in advance. I wouldn't recommend this in July however.

Have fun
