which is the best disney park to visit - have only one day! Oh and how much will it cost?

Question

no children - just two adults aged 29

Answer 1

From experience you can do them all in one day. You have just got be be smart. Get to Animal Kingdom first - leg it to kali river rapids and get a fast pass (no extra cost just a little ticket allowing u to push in later on -is FREE), then leg it bac over to the safari and go on that. Then go to expidition everest and get a fast pass then go on the river rapids. After this either catch the bus or use your car to go to the magic kingdom.

You will get here at about lunchtime. As it is lunch people will be eating or getting ready tp see the parade. This gives you a great opportunity to go on the 3 Mountains without too much queuing. Fastpasses are available again for all three rides (but splash mountain is usually the emptiest and space mountain the busiest).

After this go to MGM studios. As there is not much to do at MGM it tends to get emptier in the afternoon, here you should try to get on rocking rollercoaster (fastpass this) and Tower of Terror (for some reason the queue for this is always short!).

Then you can go to Epcot, which stays open till about 8 (sometimes later if it is Easter or Summer holidays) as there is an amazing firework show. However this is the best time to go on test track or the space/flying rides.

If you are going near Good Friday or Easter sunday the magic kingdom stays open until midnight. The rides are ALWAYS empty as people are waiting for the fireworks for light parade. From experience you can have a whole boat to yourself in Pirates of the Carribbean (everyone in my family of 5 had their own boat). I also went round splash mountain 4 times without getting off the boat i was in.

If you get a park hopper pass this is all possible. Travel between the disney parks is free and if you park, the ticket for one park can be used in the different parks throughout the day.

This is a tried and tested method. I visit America (from the UK) once a year to visit my Aunt who lives in northern florida, my family and I always fly to Orlando to go to disney even if we can only go for a day.

Answer 2

Well since it will just be two adults (no children), I recommend you purchase a 1 day park hopper pass ($112 with tax per person) and visit all 4 parks in 1 day. This can be done - I've done it many times! Check http://www.disneyworld.com and click on calendar. See which park has extra magic hours the day you wish to visit (if any). If you'll be staying at a Disney Resort, visit this park first this day so you can get in an hour early. If you're not staying at a Disney Resort, pick another park to start your day and end up at the Extra Magic Hour park later when the resort crowds have thinned out.
If $112 is too much or if you feel you won't be up for a lot of walking, then I recommend EPCOT. EPCOT is an ideal park for adults. Be sure to visit all ofthe countries at the World Showcase. Mission Space, Soarin' , and Maelstrom are terrific rides. And Illuminations:Reflections of Earth is my all time favorite Disney night show. A single day pass is about $67 with tax per adult.

Answer 3

The cost to go to any Disney park is $71.36 per adult. This is for a one day base pass. If you are wanting to go to more parks in that one day, you would need to add on the hopping option which is an additional $47.93 per ticket. So your total cost for the one day is $142.79 or $238.58 if you want to "hop". Disney's single day admission is pretty steep, but the price averages down as you add on more days. After you do three days of passes, the extra days only cost about $1.07 more per person. So for a base your average cost for a 10 day (the maximum ticket length) would be around $23.00. So, if you plan to visit Disney in the future, then it may be in your best interest to get the 10 day pass, add on any of the extras that you want and then put on the no-expiration option. This way, you get the lower cost ticket, but you can use it for any future trips to Disney. It really helps cut down on your cost over the one day pass.

As for which park, I like EPCOT and Magic Kingdom the most for a one day visit. EPCOT is my favorite from an adults point of view. The rides are a little more exciting, and I feel that it is a better park for adults. Magic Kingdom on the other hand is really cute, has a more classic feel and is more for children, but offers a lot of fun rides for people of all ages.

Animal Kingdom is great as well. There are several shows, and also a lot of things to see with animals, but there aren't quite as many rides as the other parks. But, the rides that are there are really great.

MGM is probably the second best park for adults. It offers a little of both for both adults and kids, but offers more for adults than Magic Kingdom does. It is a great park as well.

It really is hard to choose just one, I think the best way to decide is by looking over the rides at each park to see which has the most that intersts you.

I will include two links, one to ticket pricing so you can see how it all figures out and the other for all the parks so you can look them over, hopefully that will make your decision a tad easier for you.

Have a great time!

Answer 4

You have to visit Magic Kingdom. It is the original park at Disney World and a must see. It costs about $68 to get in. You can pay an extra $20/ticket to get a hopper pass. We did that one year (we typically stay at Universal) and we RAN all day. It was crazy.

We have no children and I am 32, my boyfriend is 29.

Answer 5

The best Disney park to visit in Orlando is MGM especially cause you have no children, the other parks are mainly geared towards children but MGM is great I have been twice, the first time we went to all the parks and the second time we didn't bother with the others (2 adults) , Universal & Island of Adventure are great parks also we really enjoyed them better than MGM.

Answer 6

Animal Kingdom is the absolute best....they have the park split up into Africa, Asia, Dinoland, and conservation....They have a lot of rides, including a safari (the best!!), kali river rapids, mt everest (a rollercoaster), and a dinosaur ride that is like a rollercoaster. The park is absolutely beautiful and the most impressive of all the disney parks. They have many shows, including the lion king and tarzan. If you really want to splurge, I suggest that you have a dinner at Boma. It is a buffet type restaurant over at the Animal Kingdom Lodge ( an onsite hotel) and costs about $20 a person, but it is totally worth it. They have authentic African dishes, and excellent service.

Answer 7

Of the answers I've read none of them have said the fact that it depends on the type of person you are.
Magic Kingdom- Good if you know how to plan a day and you are willing to eat at someplace small like Pecos Grill, or eating a turkey leg on the go.
MGM-For movie lovers and those who can take slightly intense rides like Star Tours or Tower of Terror.
Animal Kingdom- Not that great in general the only good rides are Kali river rapis, Dinosaur, or the new rediculously long wait Everest.
Epcot- Good for those who aren't in a rush to do everything. The world showcase is really cool especially the shop in Japan. (Epcot is known for the amazingly good International Food and Wine Festival).
The one thing everyone was right about is the price, it will cost you around 70-75$. In my experience buying a Park Hopper to try and get in all the parks is definitly not worth your money. Technically it is, but you can't take in the wonders of disney while running around just to try all of the parks. go to www.disneyworld.com and go to attractions and you will be able to see the different rides there if you have never been to some of the parks.

Answer 8

The best park at Disney World is the Magic Kingdom. Tickets cost about $67.00 for an adult (ages 10+) one-day ticket and $56.00 for a one-day ticket for kids ages 3-9. If you're going to Disneyland then I wouldn't know because I've never been.

Answer 9

MGM definitely. Out of all the Disney parks around the world MGM has the best one. It's the Rockin Rollercoaster. If you like coasters then you'll want to get on this one atleast 5 times. It's awesome.

Answer 10

in case you e book a strategies adequate in improve, you'll get the plane tickets for $one hundred each and each and every in retaining with route ($six hundred finished). Then, a inn may fee $one hundred in retaining with evening in case you stay in a non-Disney owned inn, so as it really is $500. Disney says that a 5-day fee ticket costs $251 in retaining with human being (see link below), yet you're in a position to get it really more low priced, so as that could be about $750-$800. Plus, you should funds for nutrition, purchases, etc, so upload on, say yet another $one hundred in retaining with day (nutrition is intense priced there!), for a finished of $500. So the completed is round $2,400 for all of you, provide or take. i wish this thoughts develop into very valuable.
