Which park would you choose?

Short story....there's a group of 5 of us going to WDW for F&W leaving on a Wednesday after work and coming back Sunday morning. We know that we'll go to Epcot on Thursday for F&W and MK on Friday night for the Halloween party. Our dilemma is such that we're not sure whether to visit HS on Friday during the morning/afternoon and AK on Saturday or vice versa.

Which would you choose?

You don't say where you are staying. I'd say combine your HS with your MK day and do AK on Saturday. If you are staying in an Epcot resort, you can hop between Epcot and HS most every day.

We haven't decided where we're staying yet. Likely leaning towards Pop or one of the Moderates.

We were staying at POR last year when we went and finished both HS and Epcot in one day. Although, we have already done Epcot previously so knew what we were wanting to get done. I don't think you could get both Epcot and HS done in one day if you wanted to get the full experience. Are the hours up for when you'll be there? I always use that as a guide and crowd calendars.

Epcot will take up at least one full day (open to close), especially with F&W added to the mix.. Same with MKP, full day is a must.. DHS and AK on the other hand can be combined into one day, half of the day at DHS and half of the day AK, I would recommend ending at the park with the nighttime show that you want to see the most since both parks have nighttime shows..

Now, as far as which parks to go to on which days, I would recommend looking at the park hours schedule and making a decision based on hours (EMH, later closing time, etc..) so you can maximize your time in each park on the right days..

Of your choices, I would choose HS on Friday before the Halloween Party and AK on Sat. Only because I haven't seen Pandora yet and I think that would make my AK day longer than our typical AK day.

We're going in October, so the hours haven't been posted yet. I'm secretly hoping there will be AM EMH at either AK or HS on our Friday so that it will help us make our decision easier.

We've all been to WDW in the last year, but 2 of us were there before Pandora opened. If we had to make a decision now, I'd lean towards the short day at HS and the full day at AK.
