Which Park is most worth two full days?

[Dug720]

I could easily do 2 days in DAK - with all the trails, Planet Watch, Finding Memo the Musical, FOTLK, and so forth, there is so much to see! (I've done the safari 3 times in a day and I saw different animals each time.)

EPCOT is the other that I can easily spend 2 days in - but I like all the rides, not just the "thrill" ones, and I like taking my time in the countries to really explore, so I could easily spend 2 days there.

When I'm solo, I can pretty much get through everything I want to do in MK in a day - I suppose I could go back (and likely will during my trip in August) for a second day.

Magic Kingdom has my vote! Sounds like just you and your friend so two days would be good. There's just so much to do!! We did three days there on our last trip (for four of us). It was the perfect amount of time to do everything we wanted without feeling rushed.

Is this your first trip to the world? If so, I think you will find MK a very different experience than Disneyland. I won't go into that further right now.

I also agree that MK would be my first choice for 2 days, especially with no hoppers. But I have a different suggestion for the 2 day option at Epcot, too. Rather than divide Epcot into Future World and World Showcase, I would divide it into right and left. Have one day be the "left" and do Test Track, Mission Space, etc, maybe grab the Agent P device if you'd like to play around with that, and then head into Mexico, Norway, etc and head your way around to American Adventure. Then the next day, hit the "right" side. The Living Seas (I mean Nemo) The Land, etc, then head around to the left side of the World Showcase. You can end at American Adventure both nights to stay for illuminations, or you could take the ferry over to Japan and work your way back. This plan puts you at the front both days at 9:00 am for opening and gives you a couple of hours to play around before heading to WS which doesn't open until 11:00. It also puts you in the good eating areas from lunch on both days. Another factor could be where you are staying. Are you at an Epcot resort so taking the friendship boat is an option to get to the park?

WHOOPS! I meant RIGHT side of WS after Seas and the Land.

Definitely MK

Magic Kingdom

Great to know, we have 5 days in a couple of weeks and will do two of them at MK.

Totally depends on your group. If its just adults or maybe even Teens, Then I would spend 2 days in Epcot. There is so many off the beaten path things to see in the WS. Plus beers around the world is always fun. Heck I could spent an hour wondering around Canada with a pint. But if you have little ones, definitely MK with out a doubt. I wouldnt mind doing MK twice either.....

We just got back from our first visit and I wish we would have spent more time in Epcot and AK. We had 8 park days and 2.5 were in Epcot (not enough) and 2 half days at AK (we could have spent 2 full days here easily). We are DL vets, so MK was not as big a draw for us, so I would agree with IslandAdventure, what really flips your switch should determine where you spend your days.

MK

 

[acbshada]

I'd vote for Magic Kingdom on this one, too.

 

[SplashMo]

MK because of all of the rides. Also check easyWDW for best days to visit each park

 

[Stefecatzz]

Another vote for MK. I can & often do easily spend 2 days at Epcot but it's my 'home park' so it's easier for me to meander & not get bored of it. As far as things to do, between the street shows & all the attractions, parades, etc., MK wins by a long shot for spending at least 2 days there if you don't go to the parks that often.

 

[Flamingeaux]

Our last trip we went to MK our first night around 5PM. We then went to MK for two full days. The last night was a party night.

 

[tlmadden73]

Just counting the sheer number of attractions, MK can't even be done (without rushing through) in three days.
The amount of attractions at the other three parks just doesn't seem to fill two FULL days unless you are taking your time (not a bad thing) and trying to do EVERYTHING. It just depends on how long lines are really.

I could see two full days at Epcot (if you wanted to really explore/eat at the World Showcase).

But if I am on a long trip (more than 4-5 days) I would do 2 days at MK EVERY time.

 

[LinderInWonderland]

We had friends approach us with this question, but they were only going for two days and only could do two parks (though they ended up doing three). Our friends, DH and I are all big Star Wars geeks, so while we spent the most time at DHS on our last trip (mostly to ride Star Tours a million times), we felt like they HAD to do MK and Epcot. Ultimately, we wished we'd spent more time at Epcot...and it turned out to be their favorite park, too!

In your case, since you want more rides, I would definitely think MK for your second day.

 

[Son of Evad]

For me it would be Epcot i can spend alot of time in the world showcase.

I completely agree. Spent 2 days at AK 2 weeks ago and didn't do everything. The Trails offer another experience and the shows are great. I love all 4 parks but I think AK is a hidden gem.

I hate to keep going with the popular choice, but for me the choice is easily Magic Kingdom. I would even remove the demographics issue. For me, even if I was going with a crew of adult friends only, it would be MK. Hands down the most rides and attractions. Hands down the most sentimental attractions and areas. Much better dining options now with Be Our Guest and Skipper's Canteen. Now, a big disclaimer, I am a very huge nerd and grew up with Disney so I love Peter Pan, Small World, etc. If you have a crew of heavy drinkers then yes, Epcot it is.

 

[baxter24]

For sure Magic Kingdom. So much to do in that park that it is worth two days.
