Park Strategy

IS IT POSSIBLE TO COVER A PARK IN ONE DAY? ANY STRATEGY??

For me, it depends upon which park. I can get through either AK or MGM in one day. I usually need 2 days in EPCOT and about 1 1/2 days in MK. But it really depends upon you and your traveling companions.

You're going to get a TON of responses on this & all different ones at that! OF COURSE you can do each park in one day - well I guess it depends on how many in your party, and the ages of the kids (if any). Little ones may need an afternoon break or an early night. IN MY OPINION you can do AK easily in a few hours (which is good since they generally close at 5pm), MGM can be done as well in a few hours. It takes us almost all day for Epcot, and we often do skip half of World Showcase because my kids are younger & just aren't into it. We head there later in the morning, around 10 or 11am & stay thru Illuminations. MK can be done in a full day - but we always allow a 2nd day there - just because to us MK is what Disney is all about, it's the original park with the most rides & attractions that my kids love. But yes, each park can be done in a day! It also depends on crowds - if it's a busy time of year you will spend a lot of your day in lines waiting - so keep that in mind as you plan your days as well. Most importantly - go with the flow!!!

You might want to do some research to see what appeals to you. Yes, you can see a lot of each park in one day for each, but if you have the time, you'll have a better trip if you allow more time than that. We've been on two long trips in the past year, and still have missed some stuff in the main 4 parks, and we haven't gone to a water park at all. You can see the highlights for your group in a day, but not all the shows and rides. And there are always things you want to do more than once. And if you do character visits and table service meals, it would be hard to "do" any park in a day.
No matter how well you plan, be aware that you can't do it all. WDW is HUGE!
