1. How long approx. does it take to go through all these places? like how long in MGM, epcot, and MK....
If you want to expierence the whole park; atleast a day each. If you want a taste you can see the main attractions of each park in a half day depending on the wait times.

2. What time are the shows in MGM Studios? cuz we'll be in florida around 10- 11. so will there still be shows going on at that time? Show times are throughout the day and vary daily.

3. Which one should I go to first, second or third? They will all be crowded this time of year so any order will be fine.
To make the most of your day make sure to get fast pass when available. While you are waiting for your time to return go and ride a ride with a shorter line or see a show.

1. depending on how much you want to see(i.e. how old are your kids) you can do MGM in less than a full day.... Animal Kingdom as well... I advise that at Animal Kingdom you get there when the park opens and head over to the Kilimanjaro safari ride first.... lines are shortest and animals are out due to feeding and coolness of the morning.... Epcot, to see it all, takes 2 days..... Magic Kingdom I would leave a full day for

2. Most show at MGM run every few hours... all shows times depend on the time of year, in summer park is open longer and busier and might run an extra show... when U get there grab a map and it will have a schedule of times for all shows for that day

3. If you are a Disney first timer I recommend if you are going to do one park go with magic kingdom.... if you have smaller children it is best, and not too much for littler kids at Epcot

anything else just ask!!

Answer 3

1. there are shuttles that are complimentry if you are staying at a hotel in wdw. the busses leave every 15-2O minutes. the whole bus ride is about 1O minutes.

2. 1O-11 @ night??? No,all shows close at 5-6 in the evening. That goes for everywhere.

3. It doesnt matter if you are doing park hopper, but every night at 9 o clock everywhere in the magic kingdom is spectro magic. it is an amazing parade at night with lights.
heres what i did since i went a this month
1.epcot- a beautiful park where it shows a lot of famous countries in the olden days. u must see the golf ball there!
2.MGM-besides the tower of terror and the extreme stunt shows,there is not much to do there.
3.save magic kingdom for last and make sure u see spectro magic and the fireworks after that. i would recomend go to your hotel room,rest a little then go to magic kingdom when it gets darker.

here are some other tips-
bring hats-lots of em!
bring your swimsuits
the parks are 42 square miles long...be ready to walk a lot!
the hotel rooms are exquisite. be sure to check out the board walk.it is beautiful at night. I stayed in the boardwalk inn. fabulous!
animal kingdom is a dissapointment.
if u want to go to a character dine in,make sure u rsvp at least a day ahead.its a small world!

I hope these tips helped. i was there from june 3 for 4 days. i barely saw anything.

oh, heres another tip i forgot-

Disneyworld really IS a magical Place on Earth. :-)

Answer 4

First: brings LOTS of suncscreen. As for the shows, buy tickets in advance! Spend a day in each place. Totally up to you what order you go in...lots of walking so be very comfortable!! Drink gals of water while you are there too. Have fun!!
