Which park to hop to after AK?

Is it easier to take a bus from Animal Kingdom to Hollywood Studios OR Epcot? We plan to leave AK around 4 or 5 and then go to one of the other parks to grab dinner and see the night show. (Fantasmic or Illuminations). If it's just as easy to get to MGM as it is Epcot, we will go with that. I will make an ADR for Hollywood and Vine to get the Fantasmic dinner package that way we do not have to wait in a long line to see the show.

What do you guys think? This will only be my 2nd time to WDW so we are trying to make it alot more fun and less chaotic then the first trip where mommy didn't even know about fast passes until after waiting in long long lines for the rides.

The bus stops for HS and Epcot at AK are right beside each other. I like going to HS from AK since the bus stop is one of the closest ones to the entrance. So you can go to HS with no problem, or have fun like we do and just say 'whatever bus comes first'!

The bus to either park will be easy. Neither will be noticeably faster, easier or harder than the other.

Sorry, you'll just have to find some other way to make your decision.

Thank you both, I think I will do Hollywood Studios... another reason is I looked at the calendar for that day and HW has extra magic hours (is that what it's called? lol) in the morning so I am hoping at night it won't be as crowded so we'd like to catch Fantasmic.

One more quick question- does the buses from AK go directly to Epcot and HW or is there a transfer?

AM EMH will make the park busier for the entire day.

Oh... I thought since it was AM EMH that they'd leave by the night.. guess my thinking was wrong. In that case maybe we will go to Epcot..

You have to remember that most people don't hop. If they show up for morning EMH, they're going to be there all day.
