Which parks, how many days?

[kellia]

We're rookies and I need help scheduling!

We are leaving in 3 weeks! We will be staying off site for 7 days, of course the first and last days don't count because of arriving/leaving, so 5 days to do things. We have 10 day non-expire tickets and our kids are 11 dd and just turned 4 yo twin ds.

I'd thought we'd use 5 days, but now am wondering if we should schedule an 'off' day to do Downtown Disney (definately want to go to the Lego store) and the beach? Dd wants to see the ocean, though I don't know if it would be any good in Feb? If you had an 'off' day, which day of the week would you pick? We'll be there Wed-Tues.

I had thought that we would need 2 days for MK considering we have little ones and thought that is probably what they would like best. I didn't think there was as much for them to do at MGM, though we have to see Star Wars and look for Cars characters. Can we cram that into a day with AK? Is AK really worth it or just a bigger version of the zoo? Is there much for 4yo to be interested in at Epcot?

Thanks for any advice!

2 days at MK is good with your kids ages. My DS8 and DD3 loved Epcot, and we ended up with 2 days there as well. DD3 loved Spaceship Earth (inside the ball), Turtle Talk, Soarin', Journey into the Imagination, and the Innoventions buildings. We didn't do much in the world showcase, but there are a few things over there to hold their interest so you can look around. My kids enjoyed going to the Kidcot Fun Stops.

AK was nice, but was very crowded when we were there. (June, so that does make a difference.) I would say look over the things they have to offer, and pick the main things you want to do. Go early and use fast passes, and you will probably be done by early afternoon. MGM is the same way. I would plan an off afternoon on one of those days, and DTD on the other.
