You have 2 full days..which parks are a must see??

[CinderellasMama]

We are going the last of April and as it looks now, we will have 2 full days and possibly a half day. Which parks are a must see in your opinion? I'm leaning towards Magic Kingdom and Epcot. If we have the half day I was thinking Animal Kingdom. Our daughter will be 4 at the time and LOVES Cinderella and anything Princess. I want to see the Norway pavilion at Epcot. Anything else will just happen.
Thanks for any opinions!

With a 4 year old daughter, you are right that you have to spend a full day at MK. Day 2 could be Animal Kingdom in morning (many think this is only a 1/2 day park anyway) and Epcot in the afternoon. I've never been a big fan of MGM and it is the one I would skip if I had to make that choice (although it does have a few things your daughter might like: the Little Mermaid, Playhouse Disney and Beauty and the Beast shows).

Well definitely MK....I don't feel like I've been to WDW if I haven't seen the castle! I would suggest Epcot as well. MGM is fun, but smaller so will seem more crowded -- and seems to have longer waits for rides whenever I'm there. Epcot has so much to do, just with looking at the countries, etc. AK is nice for animal lovers I guess, but to me it's just too crowded. The paths are narrow and it's always warmer at AK than anywhere else. My husband and I always leave AK cranky from all the chaos...but I imagine that is just us. It's a lovely park and most people love it. Just our little opinion. So if we were going to do 2 1/2 days, our half day would be spent at MGM, and our 2 days would be MK and Epcot.

Our next trip is just two and a half days, but we have been lots before and know which rides are important to us:

MK- Philharmagic (we both love this show)
Buzz lightyear
Tiki Room
Splash MT
Wishes Fireworks

Epcot- I am a huge world showcase fan and can spend lots of time there
See the countries and have your daughter do kidcot stations that
being said:
Honey I shrunk the audience
Test track
dd-mission space
Norway- ride the maelstrom eat at the bakery, try the school bread, waffles, or pretzel
See the train in Germany
Eat a snow cone in Japan

I would opt for Studios over Ak myself and for your daughter, do the Playground and see Bear, Little Mermaid, Beauty and Beast. Also when my dd was 4 she loved Tom Sawyer Island at MK. Also try to see Fantasmic

Hope this helps a little bit, my dd is older so it is more thrill stuff for her.

Another vote for MK and Epcot. If I were to choose between AK and MGM, I'd choose MGM. But MK and Epcot are the two must-dos.

I'd say full day in MK and half day at Studios (for the shows) and finish out the day at Epcot.

We are planning a 3 day trip, so this really grabbed my attention. I was planning 1 1/2 days in MK, 1 day MGM, and 1/2 day Epcot. We will have young girls (4,5,6,immature 8) and slightly older boys(8,10,11) to plan for. It sounds like my plan will work out.

Im with the majority when i say you NEED a full day at MK start early and go full steam all day. for us a half day at MGM and a half day at AK would be great. Plan a whole day for EPCOT and then if you get done early head back to MGM and finish anything you missed..

be prepared to be pooped!
