To that point, we do not recommend only a half-day at DHS if you're a first-timer. Although there are a number of time-consuming stage shows without much repeatability, we usually do an entire day at Disney's Hollywood Studios even as WDW diehards. DHS is most definitely a full-day park, just to be clear.

While Disney has found ways to extend the fun into the afternoon and evening hours, most of the animals viewed here are far more active, and therefore visible, in the morning. I strongly recommend you arrive at the park at opening time, or as soon afterwards as possible, to maximize your visit.

I would say Hollywood studios and animal kingdom, but as others have said doing Epcot and Hollywood studios on the same day make sense because they are so close together. The only problem with starting at Hollywood and ending at Epcot is it would preclude you from attempting to ride Guardians of the Galaxy.

Most people advise focusing on just one park—usually the classic Disneyland. This isn't a bad idea as there's so much to see (especially now Star Wars land has opened), but we decided to squeeze them both in. We discovered that yes, it is possible to visit both Disneyland and California Adventure in one day.
