Going February 1st to the 5th, Spending one day in each park, but want to know which day should I spend two in? I'm leaning towards MK or Epcot, but willing to here any arguments for DSH or AK. The current Schedule is: Mon-DHS, Tues-AK, Wen-MK, Thurs-?, Fri-Epcot. My friend that lives in Orlando is coming Monday and Friday, and he wants to do DHS and Epcot. So not sure where I should go for Thursday, should I worry about doing two day at Epcot of MK back to back?
 
This probably would be better answered if we knew your party. Are there young kids? Is it all adults? Also, have you been before? If there are kids, then for sure the Magic Kingdom is your best bet. Otherwise, for me anyway, I'd rather spend two days in Epcot. But that's because I like to take a full day for World Showcase and a day for Future World. I don't know a lot of young children who really appreciate World Showcase all that much. They might like it (some do) but often times it doesn't seem as magical for them as MK.
 

This depends on your party. If you have children, then MK hands down. BUT, if it's just adults, then EP would also be a good park. Spend a day in World Showcase and a day in Futureworld.
 
good point mshanson. As adults, we probably spend more time at Epcot than any other park. HOWEVER, we have hopper passes and probably hop to Epcot most late afternoon/nights. Great place to eat, as well as enjoy the world at night.
If I did not have hopper passes, then I probably have to vote for MK since there is so much to see & do in that park. Soarin will be down at Epcot for refurb/update, so I'm not sure there is enough to do there. Same for Studios with so much of the park under construction.
 
To me MK. I could spend 3 days there. DH disagrees. He thinks that's too much.

It's just me the Tuesday thru Thursday, Monday and Friday I'm with my friend, we are both 30, so the future world of Epcot is sorta interesting to us, but Really the World Show Case is where we are going to spend most of our time.

I really like doing rides, the good ones more than once and Epcot with Soaring down, it really just has Mission Space and Test track that I would want to do more than once, but Test Track has a single rider line. To me it really comes down to is the World Show Case inetersting enough for almost two days by itself? The Friday me and my friend are there we probably will get through future world in the morning and than just stay in the world show case from like one on, We have an ADR at Beirgarten at two.

But I'm worried about doing two days at MK back to back, you think it might Burn me out too much? AK doesn't seem worth 2 days at all, and DHS with so much construction going on seems not worth a 2nd day either.
 
Most likely MK. I adore AK but don't think you could justify 2 days. DHS is a no right no. And, EPCOT is great if you're trying to eat and drink around the world. Otherwise, Future World leaves something to be desired.
 
I'm not sure how you'd manage to stretch anything other than MK into a second day. While AK can still be a solid full day the other two are such shells of a park you have to work to not do them in a day. Even as big as EPCOT is FW is just such a wreck that the longest part of your day is going to be deciding where to stand around and wait between TT and Soarin.
 
MK has the most attractions so that gets my vote, especially if you have small children. EP could be a two day park if it's only adults in your party and/or older children. But know that EP is a lot of walking, eating and shopping, more to see than ride.
 
My ticket is also not a park hopper, trying to not upgrade it unless I really want to do two in one day, But I don't think that should be a problem this trip. It seems like MK right now has almost as many rides as all of the other three parks combined.

Based on this I would say MK. Two days back to back definitely wouldn't burn me out there, but that's me. We did 3 days there this summer, 2 back to back. We did two days at AK, too, but we have kids that absolutely LOVE animals, so we spent a lot of time looking at the animals etc... We also didn't do RD to close, but were there from RD to 1 or so both days.
 
There may have been a time in my life that I didn't feel this way, but as a parent of three girls...

MK is so uniquely special. It's easily worth twice the amount of time than each of the others.

It does depend on your demographic a little bit.
