One day in Disney - what would you do?

MK. Pure Disney magic and so much to easily do even without 60 day FP.

As much as I love Animal Kingdom, speaking from my spring break trip this year, I would suggest MK if you are planning on utilizing fast passes. AK was a 10/10 for crowds on both days we visited, which might be a realistic expectation for Easter Sunday and it was the park we had the hardest time with for fast passes. If you don't mind waiting standby, that might not play into your decision, but maybe something to consider. We did lots of refreshing but got very little.

Keep in mind he is a grumpy old man and has no sense of whimsy and was just as happy staying in RV with the dog or riding the golf cart around the Fort.

Are we married to the same man??

I didn't think of this since the OP since the daughters weren't interested in characters, but I re-read and saw they liked Tangled so nice suggestion.

To the OP - If you did opt for this meal & went to EPCOT, I would actually recommend doing a late breakfast/early lunch. This kind of helps split up Future World for the mornings and World Showcase in the afternoon sine the latter isn't fully open until 11. The restaurant is a really short walk from the International Gateway entrance of the park as well. It's one of the few times I can recommend a table service for a one day visit just because EPCOT typically can be explored in one day even after a nice break.

The only issue with the breakfast is that they're going on Easter and for only 1 day. I can't imagine they'll be able to get a breakfast anywhere early enough (most if not all parks will probably open early due to extended hrs. from crowds) to also do rope drop and with only 1 day and it being Easter; I def. wouldn't skip rope drop.

If we only had 1 day; it would have to be MK. If we didn't visit MK; it would kinda be like we didn't go to Disney. Not that we don't love the others, but MK is Disney in many ways.

Breakfast at Trattoria lasts until 12. My recommendation had the OP decided on EPCOT was doing Future World in the morning. Use Trattoria for a Brunch type meal with a late morning ADR. Then explore World Showcase.

Yes, I saw that...I was actually trying to agree with you in response to the poster you had quoted (looking back I see that really wasn't clear and I don't know why I didn't just quote the post with the early breakfast lol,) but yes I agree, if they're wanting to do that breakfast; I'd get it as late as possible.

For my 24 year old son (We have one day before a cruise in February), despite having been so many times, for him one day means the classical Magic Kingdom park, so that's what we are doing.

If your daughters are interested in researching and picking, have them look and choose one of the four Disney parks that will work with your points. All of them are fun and worth doing, so there really isn't a bad choice.

For one day, I would have to say MK if it was just up to me. And it has more rides to ride than the other parks and you would have a better chance of getting same day fastpasses. But when I was last in WDW with just my daughter and myself, we ended up spending two whole days in AK and that was before Pandora but then she is a HUGE animal fan and we rode the safari multiple times each day. We did not ride Everest nor Dinosaur. I would have your girls sit down with you and look at the rides/experiences at AK and MK and decide.
