What other park should we visit???

[3boysluvndisney]

Hello! In the middle of June we are heading to WDW. We are only going to be able to visit the parks for 2 days. The first day is definitley being spent at MK but aren't 100 percent sure of which park to visit the second. The ages of our kids will be 8, 5 and 14 months. We were thinking of Epcot but had a few questions on that. Is there plenty to do there for these ages? Is Epcot an all day thing? We want to go to a park that we will enjoy and get a full day in since we will be buying one day passes. So just wondering for all you dis experts of which park would you choose to go to.


Thanks!!

Depending on where you are staying I'd suggest do morning at MK...afternoon at EPCOT...tons to do there for kids...

then maybe MGM in morning and MK in late afternoon evening...

Our DD was 3 1/2 the last time we were at WDW and she loved Epcot. There's plently for your kids to do. They can visit the kids station at each World showcase and make a craft (free) and get their passport signed (sold at all the shops for around $9). Future World has a lot of stuff as well. Have your kids wear their bathing suits under their clothes so they can enjoy the fountains.

Another vote for Epcot. You can not do it all even in a whole day!!!

There is a lot of kids of all ages. DS has always had a hard time choosing which park is his favorite between epcot and MK.

...and in MGM there is the Muppet Show, the Big Blue Bear show, eat at Pizza Planet, and let them run off energy in the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids area".

WDW on June 24!!

That's a tough question! If you're buying one day tickets, I don't think you can "hop over to another park" so you'll need to decide on one. If your kids love animals I suggest AK. The safari is great, there's great character interaction at one area (can't remember the name of it), the lion king show isn't to be missed (our favorite of any show in any park), and much more. There's also a great lunch deal there I've been reading about on DIS - children's meal of personal pizza & drink and a coupon for popcorn or ice cream & bottled water later same day for $5.50 available at lunch counters! Also dinner at Rain Forest Cafe is fun.

My second choice would be Epcot. Lot's there for kids. MGM has a couple of great shows for kids -Disney Playhouse & Beauty & the Beast are both excellent, but not as much overall for small children there. If you do decide on MGM though we recommend eating at Primetime Cafe - the kids love hearing the waiter/ress chastise Mom & Dad for not eating their veggies, not cleaning their plate, putting elbows on table, etc - fun atmosphere.

Good luck in your decision!
