Best Order to Visit the Parks

MomBee · 02-23-2009

If planning to visit all four parks, plus the two water parks, in your opinions which is the best order to vist, with children?

We always go to MK first...just to get that 'ah, we are here' feeling. Other than that it just depends on park times & what time we want to get up-early emh-or what time we want to stay out till-late emh.

we always end our trip at the MK, with wishes, and then the kiss goodnight (or goodbye). we dont have a particular order that we follow. we just dont end up at one of the parks that has early EMH scheduled that day, we plan to avoid the crowds.

We have to do MK on our arrival and departure night. God help me if my DW does not see wishes day one and as a finish. Then we plan the rest of the week around EMH.

you could always take advantage of the EMH, until it gets crowded and then leave and go to another park.

How long are you staying? We usually spend a week in Disney so each day we spend the entire day in one park. Then on our last day, we use our park hoppers to go to each parks to go to the things we missed or our favorite rides again. We also have "lazy days" were we stay out of the parks and go to DTD or the waterparks. You should consider mini golf. The Winter Summer Golf Course is sooo much fun! There's two courses with two different themes.

Go to MK first, for Cinderella's Castle. That's a must.

Then HS and AK. Then Epcot for last (children usually aren't fond of Epcot.)

MomBee · 02-23-2009

12 or 14 days haven't made the final decision yet but it won't be less then 12

WDW92 · 02-23-2009

Oh wow, you have plenty of days to relax. That's a good thing, you can take your time in the parks.

We have to go to MK first. It wouldn't be right if we didn't

DayDreamer · 02-23-2009

I agree with everyone, MK should be first so the kids can not only enjoy riding just about everything in the park but see the castle and enjoy the fireworks. Depending on what your kids enjoy I would suggest visiting AK so the kids can enjoy the animals and rides, then Disney Studios and finally Epcot.

We usually hit EC for TT, followed by Illuminations, on arrival day.

We use EMH in the mornings for all parks, because you can get in so many rides before the parks get crowded. Even on the crowded EMH mornings, you can usually get in a dozen rides before you start seeing lines.

I agree, I don't understand why everyone is so afraid of morning EMH. They are the only way to go in my opinion. Then again, I rarely stay at the parks past 1pm.

This is not my opinion, but I did read somewhere awhile back that MK should be your last park if you have kids. If not, they will be begging to go back because it is most kid orientated.
