Recommended park rotation

[Fargoman2]

We leave in 12 days for our 5th consecutive summer trip to WDW. You'd think by now we'd have the park rotation plan down by now. But actually I could use your opinions. We hit all the parks...and will also do Typhoon. So..given the advent of EMH evening style and anything else that might impact touring crowds, could you give me a recommended rotation for the parks, beginning with a first day FRiday? We will be there 8 days..so there's no super rush and of course, we'll hit some parks more than once.

Thanks!

We always break our days up into 1/2 days, with AK being the 1 exception (we spend our first whole day there and top it off with leaving around 3pm for a couple hours at TL). But we also never go during peak season. Whatever you choose,best of luck! Just thought I'd throw that out there !

Someone posted on here a list of the days NOT to go to each park -- the historical list of busy days. I think it came from Tour Guide Mike, but I don't remember.

Maybe someone reading this can post the list.

Anyway, I made a schedule where we went to each park on the slower days.

I didn't plan for any parades or fireworks, just parks.

Since Animal Kingdom closes early we use the evening to catch Illuminations or Spectro Magic/wishes.

It worked out really well.

We tend to avoid EMH except at Magic Kingdom (if you stay on site). In general, the other parks lack enough to utilize EMH while MK gives you Tomorrowland and Fantasy Land.

Hope that helps.

I guess I'm just looking for the latest conventional wisdom as to which days to hit what parks. E.g. (for illustration only-have no idea what the rotation should be) Friday-Epcot, Saturday MK, Sunday AK, etc. whatever the wisdom might be.

Thanks again for letting me budge in here.

Scroll down to the calendar & check what dates you will be there. You can see what park is recommended on which day & which ones are suggested to avoid.
