We check in on the 31st. What park should we absolutly go to first. This is the first trip for all of us and I want to catch the bug as soon as we arive. I just don't know what park to hit on a Saturday after noon. Or should we just chill at AK that after noon and if yes what park should we hit at open on Sunday???????

Since I haven't been in a long time, you should probably listen to whatever everyone else says.... but, my plan is for us to get there around 12:30pm (on a Friday) and check-in if possible. Then we should be heading over to AK for a bit. We have a 6:40 PS at Chef Mickey's. I'm thinking we may head directly there (but, I'm re-thinking that because I've been told they take a family photo there and maybe we should freshen up.....)

Anyway, our next day will be MGM because it's an early entry day there. I've heard that if you have young children you should wait to do MK last because the other parks won't be as magical.

Good luck and have fun planning!

If you are going with little kids, and they are too small to know better, go to every park but MK. For us, once our 2yo was at MK, she wanted to go everyday. On our return trip a few months later MK HAD to be our first stop the first day, and each day after that LOL

What about EPCOT for that afternoon? Is that one of the 1/2 day parks? And is Sunday a good day for MK or is that a day to avoid it due to crowds?

we "bookend" magic kingdom... go first day and last day w/all the others in between...

From what I remember of Epcot - you need 2 days to really do it justice. We are scheduling 1 1/2 days there. I guess if you skipped the countries......

We are going 12-23 to 12-30 (I know a crazy time of year). We arrive at PC at approx 4pm. What should be do first? I know that my DD 8y and DS 11y are going to be very excited to do something (okay me too)

all suggestions are welcome!!!
