You can absolutely do this, but you won't get to go on most of the good rides. Animal kingdom is only a half day park anyway, so start there and then do Magic Kingdom after. For the next day I'd start early in HS and then take the sky ride thing over to EPCOT.
So yes, it's entirely possible to visit four Disney parks in one day, even with kids in tow. All you need is a hopper ticket and a lot of enthusiasm. My boys have the latter in spades. This was honestly one of the best days of our whole 9 months of non-stop travelling to date and certainly of our USA road trip.
You can absolutely purchase a single-day park ticket to visit both Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. You'll need to add the Park Hopper Option to your ticket in order to visit both parks in one day.
Me, personally I always avoid the parks with the extra magic hours simply because they are going to be more crowded with resort guests. If you can manage all 4 theme parks and you have never been there before I would say definately go to all 4, and take the time to see each one if you can.
Full day park if you want to do everything & savor it. With good crowds, and doing almost everything, Animal Kingdom is like a 85% of your day park. Magic Kingdom is like a day and a half park.
And let's face it, there are several rides that kids – and adults – will want to take again and again, and staying at Disney Hollywood Studios for two days will allow you to relax and enjoy your time there all the more.
EPCOT is arguably the least family-friendly park at Walt Disney World, so you may not need more than a few hours to do everything of interest if you have small children. With that said, a full day at EPCOT is highly recommended for first-timers.
As a general matter, Animal Kingdom is the park that requires the least strategy and is the easiest place to beat the crowds in all of Walt Disney World. It doesn't require Genie+ or Individual Lightning Lanes, and is pretty easy to knock out everything–and then some–if you stay for a full day.
EPCOT is arguably the least family-friendly park at Walt Disney World, so you may not need more than a few hours to do everything of interest if you have small children. With that said, a full day at EPCOT is highly recommended for first-timers.
A Magic Kingdom itinerary is simply a must if your family only has one day at Disney World. The main reason being the Magic Kingdom Park is by far the most-visited theme park in the world.
Plan to spend more than 1 day at Magic Kingdom.If time allows, you will probably want to spend 2 days at Magic Kingdom theme park (maybe even 2.5 days).
Animal Kingdom – 1 DayI could spend 2 days in Animal Kingdom, no problem. But I think conventional wisdom points to most people only spending a day here. Even though I'm always right about everything, I'll go with the better travel advice. It's not going to take much time to get the big attractions done here.
Some Guests feel that Disney's Animal Kingdom park is a half-day park. But you and I know that those naysayers are incorrect! With so much to do and see throughout the park, my family and I always plan to spend an entire day at Disney's Animal Kingdom. It also happens to be our favorite of the four Theme Parks.
But that comes with one caveat. If you visit Disneyland often already, you can consider skipping Hollywood Studios. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Walt Disney World is nearly identical. If you are traveling with teens or thrill ride junkies, Hollywood Studios should be on your must-do list too.
If you're into rides more than general theme park merriment and atmosphere, we suggest skipping Epcot, as it doesn't offer as many thrills. However, families, foodies and world's fair enthusiasts will likely enjoy their time at this concept park.
Movie Magic or Amazing AnimalsAnimal Kingdom has animal-inspired shows, food, rides, and attractions. If your little ones will be thrilled seeing a live Gorilla or a giraffe on Kilimanjaro Safaris, this Park is a must-see. Hollywood Studios is all about tapping into the glamour and glitz of the movie industry.
Q: What are the three best parks at Disney World? A: The three best Disney World parks are: #1 – Magic Kingdom, #2 – EPCOT, #3 – Animal Kingdom. Unfortunately, Hollywood Studios comes in at fourth on our list because it is very busy with long lines and better suited for teens.
Magic Kingdom is definitely the better park when it comes to food, attractions, character meet and greets and entertainment over Hollywood Studios. Hollywood Studios has become more a half day park, unless you are a major Star Wars fan and want to spend plenty of extra time doing galactic activities.
Off-peak times fall around January, February, September, and early November. Discounts on vacation packages booked directly through Disney (which combine park tickets and hotel stays) can be found year-round, though they're most common at these less-crowded times.
