We normally would do one day Epcot, 2 at MK, 1.5 at DHS and 1 at AK. Then we would hit all our favorites the last day which usually involves a stop at Epcot and MK, possibly AK. Since we typically only park hop that last favorite day, we are thinking of skipping the hoppers next trip... with 5 tickets that is 250 dollars!! We are looking at doing 8 or 9 days. We would then do 2 at Epcot, 3 at MK, 2 at DHS and 1 at AK. If we had that 9th day, we would probably hit AK for a couple hours to hit our favorite things and then do a waterpark or just relax. We will see! For us, we feel rushed doing AK in one day... we just get in what we want to do, without time for more than 2 rides on EE! At DHS, we cant get in all the shows and rides in one day.
But we also have young children and often take a mid day break...
