Downtown Disney is now renamed Disney Springs- all the signs have changed.<br /> <a href="http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/09/jock-lindseys-hangar-bar-opens-today-at-downtown-disney/" rel="nofollow">http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/09/jock-lindseys-hangar-bar-opens-today-at-downtown-disney/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2411370 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 13:36:41 +0000 808love 2411370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch:<br /> There are a few interactive exhibits where kids can learn about a variety of things. There was a game show barker who invited preschoolers - big kids to challenge one another to put the foam batteries in the battery box or the water jug in the water hole. Kind of like a children's museum exhibit.<br /> Here is an overview of the current Innovations offerings:<br /> <a href="http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/guides/epcot/epfw-innoventions.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/guides/epcot/epfw-innoventions.htm</a><br /> Here is a peek at the StormStruck exhibit specifically:<br /> <a href="https://innoventions.disney.com/exhibits/stormstruck/" rel="nofollow">https://innoventions.disney.com/exhibits/stormstruck/</a><br /> And here is the entire Epcot overview:<br /> <a href="http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/guides/epcot/ep-overview.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/guides/epcot/ep-overview.htm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2411319 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 12:59:25 +0000 mrsjazz 2411319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KatieBklyn: Cool! I just honestly didn't remember what was there besides the alcohol. :-) DH and I will probably going to do Epcot and Downtown Disney without LO. We are visiting family in Orlando and they have already offered some babysitting time for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2411307 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 12:52:40 +0000 KatieBklyn 2411307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: If you're only making decisions based on what's most enjoyable for the kids, I don't know that you'd want to spend two days at Epcot. There are definitely some things for school age kids - like crafting stations and a scavenger hunt in each of the countries, the Soaring ride, the Living with the Land ride - and some things that would probably appeal to toddlers, too, like the aquarium and Turtle Talk at the Seas pavilion, the character meals and the Image Works lab at the Imagination pavilion. </p> <p>But really, I'd spend two days at Epcot because I love Epcot, and I'd like to teach my son the same things my parents taught me - sometimes we do what the kids want to do, sometimes we do what the grownups want to do. There's enough there to keep a kid from getting bored, for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2410962 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 09:44:14 +0000 mrsjazz 2410962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Thanks! I just looked it up and it opens May 1.</p> <p>The wait to meet Anna and Elsa is bonkers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2410946 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 09:32:35 +0000 looch 2410946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: Since you were just there, can you comment about what's going on in the Innovations East and West areas in EPCOT? We used those as "cool off" points while in EPCOT and for some reason I thought they were being redone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2410931 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 09:19:57 +0000 catlady 2410931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: There is a new Frozen ride coming to Epcot in the Norway area. It's opening in early 2016 although I'm not sure it will be open when you are going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2410785 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 03:18:46 +0000 808love 2410785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Epcot has the cheaper, more laid back and very tasty princess lunch at Askershus. There is a giant aquarium like exhibit and Finding Nemo, Turtle Crush, Living the Land, Spaceship Earth. There are coloring and crafts tables at many of the countries. There is a disaster prep game show activity inside Innovations and if your little one is not so little, they can ride Soaring and Test Track. All in all it is a great change of pace from the rest of the parks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2410731 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 23:07:06 +0000 mrsjazz 2410731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KatieBklyn: What's at Epcot for kids that makes it worthwhile? I loved Epcot when I went to Disney for the first time as an adult 4 years ago but I just remember Epcot being the place where you could drink in every country. Met a lot of drunk people.</p> <p>We have 5 days but I don't think we'll do Disney the entire time we're there. Thinking two days: 1 1/2 at Magic Kingdom and 1/2 at Animal Kingdom based on LO's requests: Elsa, Tinkerbell, Minnie Mouse, the castle, and animals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2406146 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 17:02:52 +0000 808love 2406146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just came back from our first trip to DW and are planning our next trip in late 2016. I am doing one day each at HS and AK and then Epcot and MK for 1-2 days. The past year, we went to each park once and did Epcot the fifth day because of weather. We also went during Food and Wine so Epcot was much more attractive. If you are going with a younger one and haven't been to Disneyland before, then I suggest the extra day or time at Magic Kingdom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2406141 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 16:54:58 +0000 erinpye 2406141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girls (3 yrs, and 17 months respectively, at the time) just kept wanting to go back to the Magic Kingdom. We also did Blizzard Beach twice when we were there because it was SO HOT. Animal Kingdom was fun, but so hot that day the girls were kind of over it, and when my 40" toddler at the time, was told she could not in fact ride the Yeti roller coaster at Animal Kingdom, when she *was* tall enough for the Magic Kingdom rides, a giant meltdown ensued and we were out of there. Also, the 3D bug show there absolutely terrified them, but they LOVED the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor show at Magic Kingdom. We did Epcot 1 day and they were kind of bored, same with Hollywood Studios, except they loved the Frozen show there. Next time, we're just going to do Disneyland's Magic Kingdom, since we didn't get a huge amount of use for the other parks in WDW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2406085 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 15:52:10 +0000 Phillybaby2013 2406085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: we just went with DS in October and he will be 3 in February. I think your plan sounds good. I'd say definitely 2 days MK to do everything. We skipped AK this time only bc we only had 4 full days. We were able to make a full day out of HS but we had a long lunch and some rain to wait out. Even tho there aren't many rides at HS we had a lot of fun in the Honey I shrunk the kids playground and there were a lot of characters there that he wanted to see. (Buzz, Woody, Cars, etc) He still talks about the playground with the big bug and the cookie. Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2406066 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 15:20:42 +0000 Ra 2406066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: Thank you! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2406053 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 15:08:51 +0000 littlebug 2406053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: We took D to DW in October, so he was about B's age. We only had 2 days, so we chose a full day at Magic Kingdom (left for a few hours for a nap) and a little over a half day at Animal Kingdom. If we'd had more time, I would have done 2 days at Magic Kingdom. I think one day at Animal Kingdom is plenty. I still probably would have skipped Epcot, because I don't think there's much there for toddlers. I might have done a day at Hollywood just to check it out and see the Pixar stuff.</p> <p>I suggested these 2 websites in another post on Disney today becaus I found them really helpful when planning our trip. WDW Prep School has great touring plans for all the parks. And Kenny the Pirate has a lot of good "insider" info, especially about character meets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2406021 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:43:08 +0000 Ra 2406021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KatieBklyn: My son loves animals so I'd probably want to do 1/2 a day at Animal Kingdom. I remember being bored at Hollywood Studios as a kid but he does love Pixar movies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2405999 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:23:21 +0000 KatieBklyn 2405999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends so much on what you and your LO are into, but for me, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios aren't worth more than a half day each. (Unless you have an animal lover or a Star Wars/Pixar aficionado in your group.) Magic Kingdom and EPCOT are both two day parks, in my opinion, but again - you might not agree! I think MK probably has more for a toddler, but EPCOT is my jam and I'd selfishly want to spend two days there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2405986 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:08:56 +0000 mrsjazz 2405986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going in February too and I am overwhelmed just thinking about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2405984 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:06:23 +0000 Charm54 2405984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are taking our 2.5 YO in March and our days look like:</p> <p>Day 1 - arrive and pool day<br /> Day 2 - MK<br /> Day 3 - Epcot<br /> Day 4 - Pool Day/Downtown Disney<br /> Day 5 - Hollywood Studios (1/2 day), PM we might go off site to the outlets<br /> Day 6 - Blizzard Beach<br /> Day 7 - Pool Day/Chef Mickey's for dinner<br /> Day 8 - Home</p> <p>We probably like more Pool Days at our resort than the average person . If I was spending more time in the parks I would do an extra day at MK. We are skipping Animal Kingdom this trip, there's not as much to do IMO with a young toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2405980 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:01:07 +0000 Ra 2405980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last day could really be a full day or close to full. We will just be driving 2.5 hours to my grandparents house after and don't want to arrive too late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2405978 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 13:59:26 +0000 jmarionsmith 2405978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the only one you absolutely need a full day for is Magic Kingdom. I would might even do 1.5-2 days for that park. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2405977 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 13:59:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2405977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So basically 4 full days and 2 half days? </p> <p>Magic Kingdom - 2 full days or a full day and 2 half days<br /> Epcot - Half day<br /> Animal Kingdom - Half day<br /> Hollywood Studios - Full day </p> <p>And then maybe leave a day to go back to whatever you missed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2405976 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 13:59:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2405976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One full day at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. Then 1/2 day at Animal Kingdom and the second half of the day at your favorite park from the first 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disney-worldhow-many-days-at-each-park#post-2405973 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 13:56:30 +0000 Ra 2405973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are taking LO (2.5) to Disney World in February. We will have park hopper passes and are trying to determine which parks we should visit. We will be there for 7 days (although 2 will be travel days so we will only have partial days) and one of the days we want to go to Harry Potter at Universal. </p> <p>How would you assign the other days? </p>
