So I’m planning my WDW trip and I’m such a newbie at this. I’ve only been there once and it was before magic bands were a thing so app either. I’m trying to decide if the day we leave if I get reservations for Epcot or not. Our flight is at 650 pm. We are going to Hollywood studios on Thursday, animal kingdom on Friday, the wedding Saturday and magic kingdom on Sunday.
Thoughts on Monday? Anything we must see, do, or eat? Share your thoughts.
Tagging [mention]cher [/mention] since I know you’ve been to WDW a bit.

Epcot is cool but keep on mind with the kids it's a really big park and a lot of walking. The world showcase has all sorts of amazing food. Unless there's a type of cuisine that you adore, I kind of like snacking my way through the world showcase.
The Frozen ride is cool. The Three Caballero boat ride in Mexico is fun. I wouldn't waste time with Test Drive unless the line is short. Mission to Mars is fun.

Then the World Showcase would be so much more fun. |

If the kids aren’t going, I would probably trade out Epcot with Animal kingdom. Animal kingdom is ok, but better for a quick take on the last day.

Epcot is my second favorite to AK. Walking around the world is so nice and there are so many things going on in each one with performers and rides. Plus my favorite ride is Soarin’ and it’s at Epcot. I’m not huge into Hollywood Studios but I think that’s where Star Wars land is. Do you have a pass to go to multiple parks per day? We like to hit Epcot a couple times at night vs spending the daytime there. Also the Mexican Restaurant with the volcano and the ride inside is our favorite.

Oh if you are going in October are you doing the Halloween party? Even without kids it’s a great way to get on MK rides and to see the park done up is really cool. Plus the costumes.

Star Wars land isn’t a huge draw for us because we have it out here. But we want to hit up toy story land and the runaway railroad ride. Plus I’ve never been to Hollywood studios. |

If they have it possibly. We are for sure going to MK on Sunday because the bride and groom are getting reservations for them and us to be our guest restaurant. Because they are getting married inside one of the parks they get to book restaurant reservations a little earlier. |

In MK Pirates is definitely not as good as in DL. Haunted Mansion is a little different and it's fun to see their take on it. Splash is better in MK.

Epcot is my favorite. We stay in the Epcot resorts and usually go wherever in the morning and then end up at Epcot after nap. Usually by then the kids are cranky and hot and I get a nice, big margarita and watch the fireworks while I pretend then belong to someone else. Definitely go if you can.
