disney parks???

Question

My family and I are going to Disney sometime this summer. We have four days to spend at disney and we would like to do 3 parks and one waterpark. We cannot get a hopper pass. Anybody have any suggestions for which parks we should go to (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM, Animal Kingdom), or waterparks (Typhoon Lagoon, or Bilzzard Beach)?????
Thanks!

Answer 1

This is kind of hard to say. A lot will depend on what you are looking to do, which parks interest you the most and most importantly if any kids will be going.

All the parks are great and well worth the visit.

The first park I would definitely have to say yes to is Magic Kingdom. It is the first park, true Disney, lots to do, etc. If you go to Disney, you cannot go without seeing Magic Kingdom. This is also the best park for kids and anyone wanting to feel like a kid again.

My second choice would be EPCOT. Both Magic Kingdom and EPCOT are my favorite parks, EPCOT may actually be a little better, in my opinion. This park has a lot of great dining as well as many of the great rides in Disney. Test Track, Mission Space, etc. are all great. It is a beautiful park with lots to do and see. My only suggestion would be to consider if this will be fun for everyone in the party, usually it is not a favorite among younger kids.


My third choice would probably be Animal Kingdom. It is a great park, Kilimanjaro and Expedition Everest are really graet rides. There are several great rides and some really good shows as well..... The only real negative to this park is that it doesn't take all day to see. Unless you want to walk every single area of the park, you can usually get it done in a half day, easy.

Now, MGM Studios is also really great. If you have younger children, this may be a better choice than EPCOT. It is also a lot of fun, it just depends which park has the most for you. Again, this park is a little smaller and can usually be done in a half day as well. I often do MGM and Animal Kingdom in the same day.




As far as which water park, again, this is really a matter of personal preferance. I really like Blizzard Beach, especially Summit Plummit, as well as many others. However, Typhoon Lagoon is really awesome as well and is a little more unique with what it has to offer. You have the water slides, wave pool, and one of the most interesting options is shark reef. So again, both parks are great, it is just a matter of picking which one will fit your family best. I don't think you can go wrong here.



To help you out a little, I've included a link to some websites that may help you decide.


Have a great time!

Answer 2

I have been to both water parks and Blizzard Beach was by far my favorite! They have so many themed water slides and it is a neat experience to be wearing your bathing suit when everything around you looks like its winter! Magic Kingdom is a must. It is what you think of when you think of Disney World! MGM is also a lot of fun. There have been a lot of changes to Epcot since the last time I was there, but when I went it was mainly just the countries. However, from what I hear Epcot has more rides now! Animal Kingdom is OK, but it would be last on my list! Enjoy your trip!

Answer 3

As for the parks you can't skip Magic kingdom (you'll feel like your five again!), Epcot is tons of fun (and actually very educational), and MGM.. I've been to Animal Kingdom once and personally I didn't really enjoy it.. but MGM isn't the best either, so choose between the two lol.. and you HAVE to go to Blizzard Beach! The the whole winter theme is really cute and it has the 2nd longest water park slide in the US!

Instead of MGM or Epcot you can also go with Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios which are two great parks right next to eachother in Orlando.. Islands of Adventure is a blast, and has really great rides (If you really like roaller coasters).. Universal Studios is older and has Movie themed rides which are alright..

You'll have fun if you choose wisely!

Answer 4

I would do Magic Kindgom, Animal Kingdom and Epoct, As for the water park I would do Typhoon Lagoon!

Its hard to say tho your missing a lot by only doing three parks all the parks offer great stuff, If you could you should do Animal kingdom in the morning and after that, Animal kingdom is usually only open till five or six and you can get the whole park done in half a day, then you can get to MGM and get that park done as well!! If not skip MGM for another TIME!

Answer 5

Animal Kingdom is not the place you want to be in Summer. It only has two airconditioned attractions and Orlando is HOT! Blizzard Beach is my favorite water park, but they're both hard to get into when it's hot. Arrive early. Magic Kingdom is great for young kids, but all ages like Epcot and MGM. Skip Animal Kindom and go to the others.

Answer 6

Go to Magic Kingdom, MGM and Epcot (later in the day when its not so hot, beause there is no shade in that park)
I think that blizzard beach is better that typhoon lagoon, but it depends on the age of the children.

Oh and there is alot to do in Magic Kingdom , but the best tip is to go into the park from left to right (starting at tomorrowland), because most people go from right to left.

Answer 7

Do Magic Kingdon, MGM, Animal Kingdom and Blizzard Beach. You will need at least one full day for each park not including the days you arrive and leave. Or you could do Blizzard Beach on the day you arrive and MGM on the day you leave, but you'd be missing out at MGM. Magic Kingdom absolutely needs a full day, 10 to 10 as well as Animal Kingdom. Must do's at Animal Kingdom are the Lion King show and the Safari.

Hope this helps. Have fun!

Answer 8

I would suggest for you to go to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Typhoon Lagoon. You can check with the Triple AAA if they have any discounts for to get a hopper pass.
