Frequent Disney Goers--help me

We're going June 8 -15 & I don't know where to start lol

We have a 4 day park hopper
Plus the Universal 2 Park Unlimited Admission

I don't know where to start

Magic Kingdom
Epcot
Hollywood Studios
Animal Kingdom
Universal Studios

Can we do each of these in one day?or should I cut one?


Can you tell I've never been to Disney without family...who usually plan these things haha

you can definately do each park in one day. and since you have the hoppers.. you can leave mgm or animal kingdom in the evening and hop over to epcot or magic kingdom to see fireworks or more of the parks.
I suggest that for Epcot you try now to make a reservation for dinner in one of the restaurants. The best restaurants are in epcot.
Do not eat the italian restaurant in magic kingdom. it's terrible.
Animal kingdom is best in early morning.

the parks should not be too full at that time.. have fun!

since you are arriving on sunday...
I think you should do Magic Kingdom on Monday since it is usually least busy day.. but check online they tell you which parks open at what time, and how late they are open and what fireworks show are where and when.. that's usually helpful in planning the itenerary.

if u need to squeeze some into one day I would stick to maybe two..that way u dont have to rush or feel entirely exhausted at the end of the day...u'll have so much more fun taking ur time & soaking it all in! try doing MGM & Magic Kingdom one day, and then Universal & Epcot...that way u have one major park & one semi-major park in one day(instead of doing the two huge ones together).. Magic Kingdom has my favorite fireworks show It's awesome! Epcot does a good one too.... animal kingdom u could always squeeze in during the day if u wanna take a ride over...

try sending some fm to Geraldine (Ruzi777)...her & her hubby have done disney a bunch!

u also may wanna checkout Pleasure Island & Downtown Disney...definetly some cool stuff!

You can definitely do all the parks in one day. The trick is to try to plan with the popular rides as soon as you get in the park and get fastpasses they are a life saver. If you are staying onsite try taking advantage of EMH (Extra Magic Hours) which gives you an few extra hours before the park opens and after the park closes. These are on certain days so i would check with the resort.

Definitely plan to see the fireworks at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom along with the parade at Magic Kingdom. It was awesome. I would make Magic and EPCOT the two full day adventures. There is so much to see. Also Animal kingdom and Hollywood Studios are not really full day parks. i found i was done with those parks by 5 if I went first thing in the morning. I would go to Universal Studios first thing when they open and you will find you will get a lot accomplished with rides and shows.

Also check out Downtown Disney they have a bunch of nice shops and restaurants and Pleasure Island if you and DH want to do something fun at night as for they are open until 2AM.

Hope this helps some. Have a blast I know you will enjoy it and it won't be that busy then because you are in between the busy seasons.

you can do all the parks in one day, but animal kingdom is the largest and most sq ft to walk, so look at a map in your hotel that they give you and plan what you want to see and skip what you don't. epcot and mgm can totally be done in one day, if they parks are open late which i think they are, epcot IMO isn't all that interesting i dont like walking the huge circle to see all the worlds when I'm only spending a few days (when we go for long trips we do) and mgm is very small and can be done easily in one day.

Magic kingdom is by far the best park in disney. we usually like to plan to hit it 2x since all our fav rides are there, we usually do one full day then go back at night one other night but plan accordingly maybe to a parade you want to catch, also eat at Liberty tree tavern, its a little place that most people skip over, but its great food and its a character dinner!!

What about the water parks in disney?? typoon lagoon is the best water park I've been to. they have rollercoaster water slides!!! So worth it, and the best time of the year to go since it will be so hot, but check mousesavers.com for crowd control(i know they saw the afternoons are the better time since the little ones are tierd by then and the park thins out, but i don't think they are open past 5pm), and see what days they reccomend to go there. if not on there, there's allears.net or you can check the book out from the library by fromers called the 2008 unoffical guide to disney (i hate blizzard beach, its all up hill walking and the rides aren't that great)

have a great time, we wanted to go, but so much going on right now, never got time to plan it, either way you will have a great time!!
