what is your "half day" park?

[DisneyMom2000000]

Planning a Saturday-Saturday trip next year. We buy weekday annual passes, so we won't go to the parks Sunday, but will starting Monday. One of the weekdays will have to be a half day. Which park would be your half day park? We also have the option of doing 1.5 days at MK, instead of two whole days. What would you do?

Half day park for us used to be AK, but to be honest, HS falls into the same category. Now we do MK 2 days and the rest for 1.

None - we always go with enough time to spend at least a full day in every park, and 2 days in MK. We don't take trips that would require us to spend less time than this in WDW because we live too far away.

We could do HS in half a day.

I would have to say Hollywood Studios is my half-day park.

 

[DisTXMom]

I generally go with whatever park is easiest for me to get to/from.

I hate to say it, but Hollywood Studios is probably our half-day park. It's a shame, because we both love it there (my sister and I). There's just not enough to stay for hours and hours anymore right now.

HS isn't even a full half day, I'm either drinking and eating by the pool or at Epcot by early lunch. TSMM, RNR, TOT (maybe twice) and I'm out. Occasionally I'm there until 11 and will stop at the HBD Lounge, that's just kinda how its been for a few years now

Hollywood Studios - it's just a shell of it's former self now

Ok -- with HS being a half day park -- better to go early and leave early... or go late?

 

[DisneyMom2000000]

When is HS getting new attractions? HS was my favorite when I was a kid... when it was MGM!!

That's my usual plan of attack! But, staying at Fort wilderness, I want to enjoy the campground.

Early!! Get in and get out. Wait times can skyrocket after about 11:00 am

same, DHS is a half day park for us and this year we will head there on arrival day. We will do TSM, RNR, ST's GMR and leave.

I did two half days at Hollywood Studios and had a ball. We did evenings both times. Between the two days we FP TSMM, ToT, Star Tours, RnR. We also did Frozen Sing-a-long, Muppets and Great Movie Ride and just missed Beauty and the Beast. One night we did Fantasmic! And the other the Star Wars Firework show.

I would get late FP and do the Star Wars fireworks, if you have not seen them. We thought they were great. We were also able to do 3 Star Tours (1 was FP) between 7:45 and 8:45 and got to the show.

It used to be AK for us. .. . . but, with the addition of Avatar, and Rivers of Light we're going to have to spend all day in AK. I would say DHS, since so much of that park is torn apart right now, but to be honest, I won't even bother wasting half a day there, I'll just skip it until they open at least one of the new lands.

I don't see the point of you responding if you're not going to be helpful... good for you though.

 

[LaBelleVie]

If you do HS as a half day, I'd do the second half of the day, even if the crowds are worse. The nighttime entertainment is worth it to me (we have yet to see the Star Wars fireworks, but Fantasmic! is the best thing at Disney World, IMO). On our upcoming trip, we'll be going around lunch time and staying until after Fantasmic!.

And this post is helping somehow? How about this, I won't tell you what to post and you extend me the same courtesy .

Agree 100% with HS--especially during the construction.
