Which theme park to visit twice?

[luckyinlovedisneyprincess]

Either Epcot or DHS.
It is hard to tour all the countries plus tackle all the other rides.
DHS is hard to tackle all the timetables for the shows.

I'm going to go with the majority and say Epcot with your decision to do MK twice I don't feel that any other park has enough to offer that you can't do it all in one day.

[MickeysEars]

Epcot, more than any other. This way you can take you time in the countries and do some re-rides if you want to

[Evil Genius]

I'm in the camp of those who are saying it depends on the attraction tastes of you and your family.

However I think it comes down to Magic Kingdom and Epcot. There is simply SO much to take in at both these parks that quite honestly you could spend multiple days in both parks. I know we do!

[AllDisney]

I think it's Epcot. Lots of things to see & do

[LoriMistress]

Epcot should be visited twice. They're so much to take in that it's impossible to see everything. DH and I visited Epcot seven times on our last trip and still didn't see everything we wanted.

THe ages of your children may enjoy Fantasmic at DHS. It may not be being performed the day/night that you are there....which may make a return trip on a night that it is playing a must
When I was those ages I didn't enjoy Epcot that much. Now as an adult I love it and can spend more than one day there...but back then I had no interest..it was too educational for me LOL
I know they have more things fro the children to do (like the Kim Possible mission and the kid passport areas in World Showcase so they may enjoy Epcot too.
It really depends on your children and what they are interested in

[Darbylew]

Epcot for sure. There is so much to do there.
It takes a full day but then sometimes we do it
twice while we are there.

We are also going in December. I have been once a couple of weeks before Christmas in 2008 and didn't get to see all the countries and the cultural events they have for them the day I spent there. So the Countries of EPCOT will get two days this visit in order to see it all.

If you have kids, Magic Kingdom for sure. Lots of favorites they want to do again!

If you don't have kids, either Magic Kingdom or Epcot. Depending on your interests. If you are a big kid at heart, MK. If you like more intellectual learning, go with Epcot.

Hi all! I'm planning our first DW trip for December and will be visiting the parks for 6 days. There are 5 of us (2 adults & 3 kids ages 12,10,8)

I know we will visit MK twice, but what are your thoughts on the other theme park (no water parks)to visit again while on our trip? We don't have a parkhopper, so I need to plan this out as best I can!

Thanks in advance

I know you don't have a park hopper pass, but if you can afford the added expense I would add it. We have always used the park hopper and with it you are not locked into any ONE PARK for the day. We love going back to AK for Everest, Kali River and eating at Flame Tree BBQ, but not additional whole day. The hopper gives us the chance to go as we please and in your case each of your children might like a different park best, so how would you choose? Epcot is our families favorite by a long shot, but not everyone agrees.
Whatever you choose remember the most important thing is to enjoy yourself and know you will not be able to see/do everything. that's what keeps everyone coming back.

As many others have said, EPCOT!! We always dedicate at least two days to Epcot. DD has always enjoyed it, at any age (she's 8 now). She loves exploring the World Showcase countries, last year she managed to complete almost all of the Kim Possible missions, she still likes coloring the masks...and she seems to get away with more after Mom and Dad have had a few LOL Like, DH bought her a ginormous sombrero from Mexico last year.

Plus, it's the holidays, and from what I've hear, the countries have their native Santas (and storytelling? not sure) and stuff, so that could be fun for them!

[RAIDER]

Another vote for Epcot ,its a park of 2 halves

[BIGDOG]

Seeing you are going in Dec you might want to see the osborne lights more then one time I would do HS or Epcot

[W24toISMdirect]

With KIDS... Magic Kingdom, hands down.

EPCOT only requires a second day if your planning to do all of World Showcase, which aside from 2 rides (which happen to right next each other, right by the entrance from Future World) World Showcase doesn't offer much for kids. In fact what we ussually do is plan my for the wives in our group to have a girls day to themselves touring World Showcase while the boys (of all ages) go park commando back at MK.

Epcot! It's beautiful in December.

[BandMan]

Not sure what others think ... maybe EPCOT?

But seriously, with young ones, EPCOT is just so BIG. And I'm not just talking about all of the things to see. I'm talking about the actual physical distance. There's a reason they say Every Parent Comes Out Tired. If you try to drag them to see it all in a day, they'll

Take your time, revisit fun rides the second day, explore shops and enjoy the food. Don't forget there's also lots of neat shows, too: The Fife and Drums, The Liberty Singers, Off Kilter, Fab Four, and many more.

Getting another chance to eat in Epcot tips the scales for me. So many TS and CS choices around the World Showcase. Throw in all the live entertainment, and you've got 2 really big reasons to go back to Epcot.
