One Day at WDW! Where Do You Go??

[Crush Dude!]

I will for sure, and I'll also be sure to post about it!

Great stuff

With the big punches of Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, and the other great attractions such as Buzz Lightyear, TTA, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, WDW Railroad......it has to be Magic Kingdom for me. None of the other WDW parks has nearly that many must-see attractions (for me) than MK.

Of all my trips, we have never had a dole whip... I know!!! We just never stop for snacks. We wait till the last day to purchase snacks. We are weird!! But after seeing all the good stuff here, my list is getting bigger and bigger!!This is a must due next year!!!

I'll bet you'll be a convert after your next trip! We'll see to that!

 

[Pooh Lover]

EPCOT all the way! The food, the drink, World Showcase, Spaceship Earth, Soarin......couldn't imagine a trip without it!

Epcot for me. All of my favorite attractions are there, I love the calmness of Epcot and the restaurants there are lovely too.

Has to be The Pineapple Dole Whip Float

Going to agree here, the float every time, best of both worlds!

We dont always stop at MK first on each trp, but if we only have one day, it has to be there.

Magic Kingdom every time. I could spend my whole vacation there.

Epcot - I always feel there are so many things that I don't get to see because there is so much to see! I would like to make the qualification of going solo so that I can finally see everything (well as much of everything as humanly possible in one day). AK is a close second for the same reason.

I'm pretty sure that the Magic Kingdom will be the outright winner... Epcot 2nd, then Hollywood Studios and lastly Animal Kingdom, but I might be wrong!

My thoughts too.

MK without a doubt. In fact, when we go to WDW, we won't even go to another park until we go to MK and we won't go to MK until the morning following our arrival so we can properly enter MK with the Opening Show! It's nuts, but MK is such a big deal to me and my kids - so magical - that I don't want to ruin it by making it an after-thought. Once we went to AK on the first day and it was just not the same to go to MK the next day. It just didn't feel as special. And, once we went to MK on the night of arrival and walked in right as the "Move It Shake It Celebrate It" PArade was going and it was almost awkward. I see that parade as a "ok - we know you're exhausted because you've been here all day - but get up and dance!!" and we were like "um...we jsut got here." It just felt totally weird. So...long story short...now we have certain rules about when we can go to certain parks and needless to say if I only had 1 day, I'd have to go to MK per my own rule system

Most years, MK. But if a big attraction has just opened at another park I'd go for it instead.

It seems you were right. At least so far.

The last time we did a one-day trip to WDW we were at the Boardwalk. Our game plan:

• Drive to DHS to drop off car. There an hour before official opening so no problem parking in the front row.
• Walk back to room, join family, and walk to International Gateway for Epcot opening.
• Epcot: TT, Soarin', MS, as well as the "make your own" rollercoaster in Innoventions. Into the World Showcase for the 11 AM opening, walked the long way around (i.e. Mexico side) back to International Gateway.
• Take the boat to DHS after noon, at DHS around 1 PM.
• DHS: ToT, RnRC, STII, and TSMM. Late lunch at ABC Commissary.
• Walk back to car (parked in the front row) and drive over to MK. In MK by 7 PM.
• MK for EMH: POTC, Splash Mountain, HM, Peter Pan, IASW, Winnie, Space Mountain, Buzz, parade, and fireworks.
• Back to car for an easy drive to the Boardwalk.

That's how we do a one-day trip to WDW.

Definitely MK.

Back when I lived in FL, we'd often do day trips to WDW which usually just meant going to one park. This was all pre AK, but I've done just a day at Epcot and just a day at DHS and it always felt wrong...like forgot to go to the prom, forgot to pick up the kids, didn't buy milk for the week...wrong. I know not everyone else is this way, but tried it and things just don't feel right in the universe if I don't set foot in MK first...so, with only 1 day it MUST be MK.

Gots to be the MK. It just doesnt feel like Disney to us unless we begin and end at the MK.

 

[LizC]

EPCOT for sure! Rides, shops and good restaurants all of which you can enjoy while walking around with a drink. Can't beat that!

 

[minnielaw]

Epcot! Spaceship Earth is my Cinderella Castle! So much to do and so many dining options.

MK, EPCOT's probably become my favorite park, but MK is Disney and has the best overall collection of rides.
