Originally Posted By TDLFAN If you are going to be there 7 days, you do not need to plan. You will have enough time to take it easy and enjoy the parks at leaisure. Personally, I would only give DAK and MGM one day, then take 2 days to enjoy MK and Epcot at a more leisurely pace.
Originally Posted By DVC_dad Well, since you have been to DL, I would start with EPCOT. I would then plan one day at each after that, hitting the MK on anything BUT a Sat or Sun, prefer Tuesday. I agree that MGM isn't a full, rope drop, to chase out park, but I have come to change my mind about AK. It closes early, but you will certainly spend TONS of time there if you aren't all commando-crazy. So, 1 full long day for EPCOT, then 1 day each, with MK on a Tuesday. Then go back to what you really loved. Being this is your first visit, I would HIGHLY reccomend adding the PARK HOPPER feature to your pass, but DON'T add the NO EXPIRE as it will increase your costs very significantly.

Originally Posted By MPierce Don't plan your days. Allow plenty of time to relax, and enjoy yourself. You can't see it all in a week, so don't worry about rushing around. WDW will still be there next year, and for many years to come. It probably will not take you long to decide where you want to spend most of your time. Enjoy the moment.

That is the most compelling reason I know to plan which park/which day. Very few walk up, sit down spaces left.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Personally I would do MK day 1 to compare to DL, Day 2 Epcot, Day 3 Studios, Day 4 DAK, Day 5 Epcot, and Days 6 & 7 to hop parks you want to see again. We spent 2 weeks at WDW in December, and did not quite do it all (though we had two little one's, an annoying MIL, and table service every day). We probably spent 6 days at Epcot, 3 at DAK, and the rest at the other parks and resorts.
