Wed in the MK sounds like a good plan!!!
We will arrive at WDW on 11th August with a friend who has not visited Disney before, we usually head straight for MK, would you agree or recommend a different park?
It honestly depends on the friend. If they are into animals and conservation, then AK may be the place to go. Are they movie buffs? DHS. Do they like fantasy and feeling like a kid again...MK. Are they into the future or wanting to explore culture around the world...Epcot.
If you get the wrong kind of person in MK as their first stop, they will get that burned in their heads and hate it. An example is my DW's friend. Her friend went with another group of people to Florida and they stopped at Disney for a single day, so they had to pick a park. The people picked MK. She isn't a MK type of person, so she hated it. With her personality, she would have been better off at Epcot.
