Do you have a "Park Order"?

[Aurora1]

I've recently been planning a trip to WDW with a few of my friends and realized that I ALWAYS go to the parks in the same order (EPCOT, DHS, AK, MK). I love keeping MK for the "grand finale" of our trip. What's your park order?

 

[Lil Fort]

We always start out with MK. After that we take a vote or use the whichever bus comes first' method of choosing which park we will visit.

Outside of going to the parks according to my dining reservations, I try to save the MK for last

Our park order really depends on our flight time into Orlando and also extra park hours because we avoid them, but we usually always go to MK first.

We tend to go to the park that had evening EMH the prior day. So I guess that it depends on what day we arrive and what order Disney is doing EMH.

MK first then we go with how we feel on the day. We will usually finish out with the MK.

 

[HouCuseChickie]

We always try and do MK first. When we don't...for whatever reason...it just feels all wrong and doesn't feel right until we are at MK.

 

[MissingDisney]

MK for a full day always on the first day, and a bit on day 2, and 3, and possibly on day 4, probably again on day 5....repeat as necessary until the dreadful departure day arrives. Thank goodness for Park Hoppers!!! MK is always our last visit as well. We like to have a good mem and vision of Main Street fresh in our minds to hold us over as we board Magical Express.

We usually arrived late morning or noon and had a few hours to hit a park, so we went to Epcot. Epcot is, IMO, the easiest park to visit during the middle of the day.

Other than that, no particular order.

 

[s&k'smom]

Oh that's a fantastic question and I've got to admit we tend to go in a certain order too. First day always the studio's as DH can't wait to get to 50's PTC. Our last day always MK in the morning and Epcot at night.

 

[Figgy1]

We always finish at EPCOT one last great meal and a slushie and snack while wathcing Illuminations. (dh grabs a bagette for the road) Our first day this trip will be HS because of SWW the first day is usually dictated by an event or adr.

 

[MaxsDad]

On our first trip, we visited the new DAK first. For some time after that, it was a tradition to go there first. We still do that some, but have done MK and EP first too when we arrive in the middle of the day or at night. I can not remember ever going to DHS first though.

 

[Disnee4Me]

Although traditionally we used to go to MK first, now we go to whatever park opens early and then when it becomes too crowded go to another park. Just like the fact that you can get on so many rides before the crowds get crazy.

 

[real mad hatter]

Well since we are there for 14 days & nights.We always hit MK first.Got to see that castle the first day to make sure it's real.

 

[karolena3]

I like to go to MK first because to me that is Disney, but we had to change this year. The crowd calendar on Touring Plans has Epcot really low on our first day so we decided to go there. I'm getting used to the change, but I think I'll go back to MK being my go to first park.

 

[baloofigment14]

For us it just depends on what the EMH are and if we have reservations somewhere.

 

[Pooh Lover]

EPCOT is our favorite so we tend to head there first. After that its MK, DHS and AK. For many people, walking down Main Street and seeing the castle is top priority. For me, its walking into EPCOT, taking my first ride on Spaceship Earth and eventually hearing the best music on property.

 

[Disneydreamer23]

I always do the parks based on extra magic hours, I would love to always close with MK because it is the most magical to me.

 

[eddiemcgarrigle]

First full day is always spent at the Magic Kingdom (with breakfast at the Crystal Palace) while all other days are checked off against the various EMH slots.

 

[worldfanatic]

Our first & last Park of each vacation is always Epcot.
For us, that's the "Heart" of Walt Disney World.......much like the Magic Kingdom is to so many others
We live in Southern California and have been visiting Disneyland all our lives, so we view the MK as a slightly different, but wonderful version of DL.
Epcot, on the other hand, is a totally unique experience, and the only way to begin & end our WDW Adventures.
