Will 5 day tickets be enough for us? Originally I was planning 6-day basic passes: 2 MK (this is a must), 2 AK, 1 HS and 1 EP. But the kids really want to do a water park, and I can get 5 day water park/hopper ticket for a great price on ParkSavers. I then considered skipping EP, but comments on that thread have changed my mind ;) So.... do you think with what we want to do in the other three parks, we can accomplish it in one full day per park (likely doing rope drop till 1, taking an afternoon break, then coming back for 5 till close)? Or will we need that second day at AK?

AK:
- All the night time stuff: ROL, safari (ideally sunset), Harambe Wildlife party, Kali (probably a couple times), Flights of Wonder, Lion King, and ALL the trails. And we are NOT fast going through the trails, we really take our time, the kids do the Wilderness Explorers etc... My kids are HUGE animal fans. If Avatar is open when we go (next June), then we'll definitely want to do the boat ride, and walk around the area at night.

HS:
- Anything and everything Star Wars: JTA, Launch Bay, all the M&G, Star Tours, Galaxy Far Far Away, fireworks, TSMM (probably a couple times), Beauty & The Beast, Frozen Sing a Long, Meet Olaf, Buzz & Woody, Muppets 3D

EP:
- The Seas (I can see us spending an hour there for sure), Turtle Talk, Frozen Ever After, Mexico Boat ride, Soaring, Living with the Land, Advanced Training Lab, Figment and Image Works. Spaceship Earth/Project Tomorrow is a maybe. Maybe spend a few hours in the evening in WS.

I'd stick with 5 just in case you need a day to relax by the pool, shop, etc. You can always add another day later
 
I see more than 1 day in both your AK and HS list. I have never done more than 1 day at AK and always felt satisfied, but that has been prior to night offerings and we don't do trails of WE. I think you may need to ask the kids: waterparks (the hoppers would also help you visit your priorities for night touring). Or 2nd AK day (I would consider 1.5 of HS/AK based on your lists.)
 

Just dawned on me we're spending a day at LL - we can do a few hours in their water park! But still curious as to realistically how much time we might want in each park.
