a problem

[lileonard]

I have a question to ask about the parks. When we leave to go to WDW next Friday, we will be staying to the following Sunday morning. We will visit Epcot monday, Magic Kingdom Wednesday and Disney Studios friday. My question is, are those days right for those parks? I always hate going to a park for the first time on the day before you have to leave, in this case the Studios. I know for a fact those will be the only parks my family visits, so should I visit a different park on monday or is it fine the order our family has it in.

This sounds like a question a person who has never been to disney world ask, but my family always has a problem with going to the parks, I mean planning what day we will visit what park.

Just wondering

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you entitled to early entry?

Also if you have time go to the book store and get yourself a copy of THe Unofficial Guide to Disney World, It WILL help you, I never go to WDW without it.

what im actually trying to say is, is it better to visit a certain park earlier in the week than later. Thanks for the help ill pick that book up.

If you are have younger children I would save the Magic Kingdom for last,.If you go there first they will probably find that the other parks do not compare, and they will want to go back to "Disney World"

we usually just plan our day at the parks around the shows they have at night and which parks stay open later on which nights. i think magic kingdom has something special on saturday nights but not sure.

which parks

The Unofficial Guide is the best guide to Disney World. I've been using it for years. However, beware - it is huge. So be prepared to be doing some reading. At the back of the book it gives you actual maps and schedules as to how to get around the park the quickest and with the least amount or lines. If you go when it is less crowded there schedule isn't needed, but the book is just filled with information.

You did not mention if you are staying on Disney grounds. If you are, you are eligible for early entry. The days you have planned are fine if you can't or don't use early entry. If there are young children, than save Magic Kingdom until last.

Yes the guide is great.... it give you the "people's" opinion.... not Disneys, as Birnbaums does. I get both anyway.

It will be nice to read and opinion!! The official guide is published by Disney, and their is nothing negative said about the rides. Whereas the unofficial guide has comments from readers, and they don't hesitate to put negative comments in there. A very good book.... its very helpful when deciding what Restaurant you want to eat at.
