Where to spend "extra" day

[EliseE]

I have two girls, ages 8 and 2 1/2 (almost 3). We're spending 2 days in Magic Kingdom, 1 in Hollywood Studios, 1 in Animal Kingdom, and 1 in Epcot. We have added an extra day to our trip, and I think we'd like to spend it in either Magic Kingdom or Epcot. Any thoughts on where we're likely to want that time? My 8-year-old will only ride tame rides. I know everyone's different, just curious if you have any advice. I'd like to at least set up some Fast Passes for one or the other, even though we can adjust that later. We're not planning to park hop. (Also, on our Epcot day we will have the Akershus breakfast and on one of the MK days we will have Chef Mickeys, so both of those will eat into touring time.) Thank you!

With kids those ages, MK wins hands down. But I suggest you wait and see what the kids want to do. They may surprise you and want to spend a day at a different park. My DD loves animals and therefore would want a second day at AK.

I'd say Magic. Mostly because there is just more to do & the Chef Mickey's breakfast. Definitely NOT Hollywood Studios. It's the smallest and doesn't need more than 1 day. Animal kingdom is great if you all love animals. Epcot won't have a lot for your younger child to do for 2 days IMHO.

You might be surprised at how much your girls like Epcot World Showcase. There's a lot of cool little shops, especially the department store in Japan. Don't skip the countries because people say kids don't like them. Give it a try and then decide.
