A: The busiest day at The Magic Kingdom tends to always be Monday. This is because many families plan a week long vacation to Disney World, and typically receive the best deals by traveling Sunday or Monday.
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.
This nice thing about Epcot is that the World Showcase really offers you the opportunity to make whatever you'd like out of your day. Eating, drinking, shopping, entertainment—add in the unique festival offerings throughout most days of the year, and it's not hard to fill a full day at the park.

Epcot may not reach capacity as often as Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom, but some days are still better than others. For the shortest waits at Epcot, aim to visit: Tuesdays and Wednesdays (top pick) Mondays and Thursdays (second best, however Thursday evenings can sometimes be a little rowdy)
Epcot has the most walking paths (measured by miles) and is the second-largest park by acreage. The park has two distinct sections: World Showcase and Future World. The layout of the larger section, World Showcase, is really simple.
Note that the Skyliner is entirely FREE to ride for all guests. You won't be able to access it unless you get to one of its stations, so that could cause some barriers. But you don't need to be staying at one of the hotels on the Skyliner lines to use the service.
You can ride the monorail any time. No Disney tickets even needed. If you took a bus from Disney Springs to Epcot or Magic Kingdom, you could ride from there.
