What park do you usually hit first, and in each park, what attraction is first on your list? For me MK, is usually the first, and POTC is always my first stop. In EPCOT I usually hit SE first, it's right there. Anyone differ?

About halfway across the lake...or when the monorail has to hold outside the Contemporary I start to regret not stopping sooner so I beeline through the tunnels and then head over to the bathrooms. As often as I go I make the same mistake every time.

Originally Posted By jkayjs For us it is check-in then go get our refillable mugs. If we can get into our room we go and unpack.

Anymore we tend to just relax in our room untill it's time to get ready for dinner. As someone else mentioned our first park depends on the day of the week but when the kids were young it was always MK.
