Order to visit parks

[Kialovesbooks24]

what is everyone's opinion on what days to visit each park?


Personally i am looking forward to Animal kingdom! for some reference i believe we will be traveling sunday to sunday or monday to monday and we will be traveling in May 2026

If you're visiting all the parks, start off with the Magic Kingdom. Get the hallowed grounds off your chest first, especially Tron. Then you should definitely visit Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and finally Hollywood Studios.

Most people do MK first, we don't since it might be our least favorite of all four parks. I think the order doesn't really matter that much unless there happens to be some sort of event happening while you are there that closes one earlier than usual or unless you are staying at a deluxe and get the extra evening hours. If you get those hours and only have single park tickets you are going to want to go to that park on the extra evening hours day. If you have hoppers, you should do AK in the morning on whatever day since it closes the earliest of the four parks. I try to avoid Epcot on Friday and Saturday nights after about 6:30 or so. Locals tend to go then and WS can get pretty crowded in the evenings on weekends. Otherwise, I'm not sure the order really matters.

MK tends to be less crowded on Sundays and much busier on Mondays.

I work it out around the crowd calendar and things like extended evening hours.
Other than that I don't really have a strong preference on the order.
I tend to do 2 parks each day, hopping to a different park in the evening, so hitting everything twice on a typical trip.

It varies widely for me depending on the days of the week, park hours, events, perks etc.

In general I like going to MK first and last but doesn't always work that way.

I get park hoppers so I go to at least 2 parks per day and hit the parks once in the morning and once in the vening.

I'm not a fan of AK so if I go its right at rope drop and then move onto another park.

My next trip in August my park days will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and I'm staying deluxe so my 2 basic options are
-MK/EPCOT
-EPCOT/HS
-HS/MK
or
-HS/EPCOT
-MK/HS
-EPCOT/MK
