choosing a park

[Marc Thomas]

We will have 2 days. No park hopper,,, to old to run around. Is disney studio like universal studios, where we have been. We will go to epcot. But where to spend the second day. We have been to disneyland 20 years ago. We are from the west coast and never been to Florida

You have to use your other day on Magic Kingdom. I love all four parks, but you cant go to WDW for the first time and not see MK.

 

[Susan Savia]

Absolutely, go to MK.

I love HS, but it doesn't compare to MK. It has a very limited amount of attractions.

Magic Kingdom is a must to see and experience. My Mom who passed away was taken at 89 years old a few years ago. She was able to see the whole park because we rented a scooter for her. She was able to see a lot of things that she would not have because she could not walk all that much either. The staff in the park had gotten her a special place to view the parade. It brought a big smile to her face.

MK is mandatory. You must go to the MK if you're visiting WDW for the first time. Second park can be whatever.....but MK is not up for discussion

You must experience the magic of the Magic Kingdom. The castle is worth it, and don't forget to ride the trolley down main street , and the train!
If you enjoy shows such as "Finding Nemo" and "The Lion King", then you must visit Animal Kingdom. I do love EPCOT too, especially World Showcase ( all of the countries and choice of places to eat and drink) Tough choice...

When we first visited WDW in '94 we were advised to visit MGM before going to Universal Studios because the studios were so much better than Disney. That advice was so correct. Things have now changed and Disney's Hollywood Studios although they are still "like" Universal they are better in every way imaginable.

That said, as a first time visitor to WDW Florida you MUST visit the Magic Kingdom - I can't imagine anyone travelling all that way and not going. As for your second park, I too would choose EPCOT (just) over DHS

Magic Kingdom.... When you get home everyone is going to ask you how MK was. Never having been to FL, it is the one WDW park you MUST experience. You NEED to see everything there that makes Disney special. Starting with Main street, the Castle, HM, PotC, SM and all the rest. ( Soooo much theres not room to list them all) You will regret not having spent your day at MK. Its where most guests first fall in love with Disney!!!

MK AND Epcot!!! . We love all 4 parks but if you only go to 2 and for the first time I would go to those 2.

 

[LAKid53]

Ditto the Magic Kingdom. How could you visit WDW and not see the Magic Kingdom? 2nd park for me would be Animal Kingdom.

I'll have to 12th the motion. MK and Epcot. I am a big fan of DHS but if you have not been MK has to be your 1st choice. Have a great and magical time!

Forget the park on the second day; just do Downtown Disney! It's amazing!

j/k it's the worst. Magic Kingdom.
