Which Park a Second Time (for a half day)?

[Amy Jenkins]

I am going to Disney World for my honeymoon from the 5th to 10th May next year, my itinerary thus far is as follows (please also comment on this, if you have any suggestions ):

• Tuesday, 5th, Universal Studios
• Wednesday, 6th, Magic Kingdom (have a reservation at Be Our Guest at 19:45)
• Thursday, 7th, Epcot
• Friday, 8th, Universal's Islands of Adventure
• Saturday, 9th, Hollywood Studios (have a galactic breakfast at Sci-Fi)
• Sunday, 10th - ?

So I basically only have a half day on the Sunday as my flight to London is at 17:35, so I should be at the airport at around 14:30 I should imagine.

Therefore my question is, which park is worth visiting a second time for a half day? Is this enough time to do a half day? I was thinking that it should either be Magic Kingdom or a Universal park.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Amy

Any reason why you're considering a second visit to one of the above parks when you haven't included Animal Kingdom on your list ??

Its a great "Half Day" park in itself. Plus, with your departure time, you'll have time for a full morning AND lunch before you need to leave for the airport

Hi there! Yes, the reason is that I live in South Africa and we go on safaris very often. I see that AK has many of the African animals that we see all the time and it really doesn't hold much attraction for me or my fiance. Is this perception unfounded - will we be missing out hugely?

Yes. There is enough to do outside of looking at animals.

Which is why I suggested it. It is not a zoo or a safari park - it's a Disney theme park. There are rides, shows as well as the obvious safari (but again, its themed).
Give AK your half day - you'll be pleasantly surprised

I would go with Magic Kingdom for a number of reasons:
1. There are more rides/shows here; it's tough to experience them all in one day
2. It has lots of great places to sit and relax
3. There's something magical about looking down Main Street at the castle for your last "moment" of the trip.

I hope this was helpful! Either way you'll have a great time with whatever you choose!

Magic Kingdom! We always spend twice as much time there as any other park -- it has double the number of attractions of the others, and its attractions have infinitely more "repeatability" than those in the other parks, in our estimation.

Thanks so much for the help! Think we will do Magic Kingdom Think it will also decrease our rushing through MK on our first day there, since we'll know that we will be going back in.

Thanks!

You can do all of universal in a day FYI. Not saying a 2nd day wouldn't be fun, but you can do most of it in a day. As for disney, we like doing MK and epcot multiple days. Epcot bc it's our favorite lark and MK bc it's impossible to ride every ride in a day bc of crowds no matter what time of the year.

MK or Epcot...
