opinions needed re: which park to go to 1st

[iluvdiznee]

We only live 1 1/2 hours from Orlando so we will drive down early Saturday April 9th. We can be @ WDW by 7:30. We plan on staying offsite, Buena Vista Suites with another family. Can't check in till after 4:00 so we will go ahaead to either Epcot or MK.

We are only able to stay for two nights and three days. 2 parks are our goal and maybe DTD on the day we leave. Which would you do first? We were going to do Epcot 1st (Sat) and MK on Sunday. But we will lose an hour in MK if we do it that way. But we were kind of "saving the best for last". I don't know..... Opinions?

We always go to MK first. Last year we went to Epcot first and I felt like our trip didn't start until day two when we went to MK, so we'll not do that again. MK just seems to get you into the magic...

Epcot on Saturday I think you would have better time during MK on Sunday.MK on Saturday the crowds seem to build quickly and stay that way all day.

I honestly think both ways would be great...I like starting my trip with MK, but I also like ending it with MK. On our next trip we're starting with Epcot and ending with MK. I'm a little worried about how much I'm going to go crazy waiting for MK, but I think it'll be ok. Epcot is really cool to start with too.

I've read several places to save MK for last, or the kids will be disappointed that everything else doesn't measure up to the magic at MK. However, I think it depends a lot on the people in your group. My ADHD granddaughter is going to be over-stimulated and kind of glazed over after just one day at WDW, so why not do the best during her first, most attentive day? That's why we'll go to MK first.

We go to MK first. It just seems more magical.
