Planning help needed

[CindyZMomof3]

OK, time to start making PS next week, so I better get my act together and plan out park days. I will be in WDW 8/24 - 8/27; but not going to parks on 8/27....so Tues, Wed, Thurs in the parks. I want to spend the majority of our time in MK and EPcot. I think I could split the last day between MGM and Animal Kingdom. (believe me...i surely wish i had more time...but 3 days is way better than no days )

I will be staying on property, so I'll have access to early entry and such...

Do you think that I should just stay in one park all day or park hop? I was thinking that transportation between parks might take up too much time....although since it's August we really should go back to hotel for awhile...rather than commando style!

If you had only 3 days in the parks...would you consider skipping a park altogether, and just concentrate on 2? or 3? I think we could live without MGM the most. My son is a bit of a chicken so we would not be doing TOT or Rock N' Roller Coaster


Maybe I should do EE and then back to hotel for awhile then another less crowded park....

Oh gee, advice please

Thank you,

I definitely suggest that you do the Early Mornings. Stay a few hours until the crowds get too big and then get out of that park. Either head to another park or back to the hotel for a break. Whichever you choose, it is a good idea to leave the park having Early Morning before it gets too crowded to enjoy.
You might want to also take advantage of E-nights if they are offered when you go.
Enjoy!!!!!

I agree with wdwgoofeeee --- do the EMH, then head to your hotel for a break if you need one. Depending on the age(s) of your kid(s), they may enjoy an hour at the hotel pool as much as anything else you do at DW (this was true of my son who was a bit of a chicken on our first trip when he was 7). I would say, do the morning at MK, MGM or AK, then spend your evenings at Epcot.

If you can risk missing the big Epcot rides like test track or mission, which are best with an early fastpass and which your son may not enjoy anyway, then don't bother coming to Epcot in the morning. World Showcase doesn't open till 11 anyway.

That way, you can get the other three parks and Epcot too. Or you could do two mornings at MK, if you just didnt' get your fill on the first, and then one at AK. AK closes relatively early anway. And Epcot has so many choices for dinner, you can easily eat there every night of your stay and get a completely different experience each time.

have a great trip!! we're leaving on ours in two days!!!
