Please help with picking parks

[lovemy2girls4eva]

I have 3 day park hopper tickets and I’m having a hard time picking which parks to go to. I want to go to all 4 parks but not sure how to combine them. My plan is going to one park in morning, having a pool break and going back to another park in evening. I’m going with a 3 year old and teen and staying at The Beach Club. Please help. Thanks!!

For us, we'd do a full day at Epcot and DHS and AK in the morning with MK in the afternoon. Having said that, with a 3 year old; it's probably best to do a full day at MK and probably morning at AK and afternoon/evening at DHS.

Animal Kingdom, particularly the safari, is a hit with both of our little kids (5, 1). But there’s not an obscene amount to do there and a lot of folks go for half a day.

Teen may prefer Epcot and / or HS.

Sample: 1 day at MK, 1 day at AK combined with HS, 1 day Epcot. Once the main draws for your family are hit at each, remainder of day at pool.

Really there’s so many variables. What might be a pretty darn good itinerary for family A could be horrible for family B.

Are there any night shows you want to see? MK fireworks, Luminous, Fantasmic…

What month and what days of the week are you planning your park days?

We are doing the 3 day park hopper and this is our plan. Day 1 - Animal Kingdom (this is one we can do in a few hours - we don't do shows or walk trails etc. Strictly do rides. Depends what you want to do but can usually be done in 1/2 day. Then we are hopping to Magic Kingdom.

Day 2 - HS in the am - we do rope drop and can do everything we want by 2 or so; then we are hopping to Epcot which for us has extended evening hours that night.

Day 3 - MK in the am then hop to Epcot and then back to MK for extended evening hours.

In my opinion if you are buying the park hopper you might as well use it every day if possible and except for Animal Kingdom switching between the parks is easy. You are traveling with kids though - the teen will be fine - the 3 year old it might be too much so a break for a few hours in the afternoon would probably be best. We are going from rope drop to closing but have rest days in between (plus my kids are older).

You are staying at the Boardwalk - which is a deluxe so you will get the extended evening hours at Epcot (which are on Monday's and at Magic Kingdom on Wednesday) so that will help a lot. Plus you can walk to Epcot so factor that in also.

Best of luck with your plan - just enjoy what you can!

Magic Kingdom and Luminous.

The Halloween party at MK starts mid Aug. Typically it will be on Tues with MK closing at 6pm (likely on Aug 18 and 25, 2026). Mon and Wed should be fine to see Happily Ever After fireworks at MK.

Or will you be visiting before Aug 16th?

Another thing is Epcot EEH on Monday night. Will you want to take advantage of that since you’re staying at Beach Club?

Likewise, there will likely be EEH at MK on Wed night.
