Three days at Disney World

[GoofTrooper]

If you only had three days to spend in Disney World what would be on your itenerary?

This is my family's second trip to Disney World, the last being back in 2000 when we stayed at the Polynesian Resort. This time we are spending three days at the Animal Kingdom Lodge on a Dreamaker with Gold package. The only parks we failed to visit last time were Epcot, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.

My kid's are 11 and 8 years old and have formed a short list of attractions they would like to visit. My wife and I would like to see Cirque and have one night out. What are your suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Definitely dine at an Epcot World Showcase restaurant and don't miss Illuminations! It is absolutely amazing!

Wishes...Fantasmic...Illuminations. DO epcot this time Test Track, etc. Have lunch or dinner there...we like Rose/Crown and Beirgarten, (but that's us). Epcot is beautiful in the evening. Also take the water taxi's down to MGM. Do a water park too. That way you can say you've done that. And then your list looks fairly complete. Of course you need a day at MK.

I like doing MK on the first day, MGM on the second day, and Epcot on the third day. Epcot's World Showcase is a nice place to go when you have had enough of the theme park atmosphere. We often do one park in the morning and one in the afternoon. AK can easily be done in a 1/2 day, or less. It's also easy to split MGM and Epcot in a day because you can walk/boat between the parks with a stop on the Boardwalk. You also can take the monorail from MK to Epcot.

When we've only had 3 days in the park, I have wished that I skipped AK. Hopefully you'll be able to enjoy the animals at the AKL.

Thanks all, for your replies.

I've set reservations for California Grill (thanks 2gether) and Jiko's for dinner. I have seats for Cirque and preffered viewing for Illuminations. I'll likely do the same for Wishes and one of the parades.

My 11 yo DS is set on going to Blizzard Beach and both the kids want to focus on MGM and Epcot.

Again, thanks for all of your suggestions.

just three more days
