Please give me some feedback on what days for each park

[Whistlebee]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for help with which days to go to which park. Any and all feedback are welcome! Here's the current plan:

-Thursday 3/5- Epcot. This is the 2nd day of the Flower and Garden festival and there is also an after hours party this night. This is the day I'm most unsure about.
-Friday 3/6- Magic Kingdom- considering booking dinner at California Grill or somewhere on the Monorail Loop. Will we have time to go to dinner? We are DL regulars so may skip some of the repeat rides at MK.
-Saturday 3/7- Rest day
-Sunday 3/8- Hollywood Studios, possibly park hopping.
-Monday 3/9- Animal Kingdom. I am most excited about AK so I like the idea of saving it for last. We're also trying to book a tour here. Putting it at the end gives me a better chance of getting it. Could also park hop at the end of the day to another park.
-Tuesday 3/10- Revisit one or two parks to do our favorites again, flight leaves at 6pm.

We will have Park Hoppers (although we aren't planning on park hopping everyday), and we're planning on premier passes for Epcot, MK and HS.
Thank You!

Oops, I thought of more questions. Do I need to be linked to my friends in order to book dining reservations or the Wild Africa Trek at AK for all of us?

I’d link with your friends it will make everything easier. Dining , rides and photos. I’d skip California Grill on a park day. Even though it is so close you still have to come out of the park and get to the contemporary. Wait for your reservation time. Take time to eat. Wait to pay and then go back to the MK and go trough security again. Eat inside the park that day. Way easier.

I would only do Cali Grill if you are planning on leaving the park and not going back. If you plan on ending your evening in MK, I would just stay in the park to eat or, if you really want a break, do a more casual meal like Steakhouse 71.

First off, as a general tip, everything just takes longer at Disney World over Disneyland because everything is so much more spread out. Just be prepared for that. Allow for extra time.

If you are most excited about Animal Kingdom, do it on Day 1 so you can go back more if you want.

I would suggest doing Epcot on Day 2. Epcot is the most grueling park because of the amount of walking required, so a rest day after it will be welcome.

Are you staying at a deluxe resort? It so you could have access to any Extended Evening Hours. Those are nice to take advantage of, if available.

As someone else said, California Grill is great for your rest day. Leaving the park takes more time than you may think and you may not want to leave when you have to.

Have fun!

I would recommend doing the monorail loop and dining at one of the resorts on the loop on your rest day. Going out of the park to eat takes more time than people think and going on a rest day allows time to soak it all in without missing park time.

I’d actually just head over to Disney Springs on the final day… you have airport security and baggage to handle, don’t want to use up energy and smell funky.

So you would suggest we do Epcot on a Friday instead of Thursday? I was concerned that would be a really busy day since it is the first weekend of the flower and garden festival? Or maybe it'll be crowded both days so it doesn't make a big difference?
