In January we wanted to go to Disney. We bought the 4-day pass, where you can visit any one park on any 4 days in the next 6 months. We went to Magic Kingdom one day in January.



So our passes are about to expire, so we're going to knock the rest out this weekend.



Thursday: Animal Kingdom

Friday: Epcot

Saturday: Magic Kingdom



We'll be staying at the always-amazing Embassy Suites again. I'm a sucker for free cocktail hour, and custom omelettes in the morning. They offer shuttle service to and from the park, so we'll be saving money on gas and parking fees ($11 parking each day).



It's gonna be awesome, although disgustingly hot. The CamelBak is a necessity.

Sounds like fun, in an agonizing, sweaty, bone-weary-ing sort of way.

Yep! I never try to rush though, I hate feeling rushed. I make it a point for us to stop and rest whenever we feel like it, we don't try to see absolutely everything there is to see.



We talked to other folks who have been recently with kids, and found out what they like and what they spent the most time on.



Someone said their kids liked Epcot a lot more than Animal Kingdom, there was a lot more to interract with (which surprised me, I remember Epcot being lame, apparently they added a lot). So we'll be driving down on Thursday early, and going to Animal Kingdom. Friday will probably be the open-to-close day at Epcot. Friday we'll be taking it easy, hang by the hotel pool, have lunch, then close out Magic Kingdom (it's open the latest on Saturday, 11 pm).

Sounds like it'll be a fun weekend! I haven't been to Disney in 7 years & I too remember Epcot being kinda lame (although the Fast Track ride was pretty cool). My favorite park was alway MGM though. Have fun!
