No matter what your plans may be, Magic Kingdom will always be the best choice for your first park. Seeing the iconic Cinderella Castle, watching your favorite characters parade around, and walking onto Main Street USA is the perfect way to get you into the Disney mood and help you feel the magic, as its name suggests.

If it's your first time visiting, we recommend you begin the trip at Disneyland Park for a feel of the original Disney magic across its nine themed lands: Main Street, U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Critter Country, Fantasyland, New Orleans Square, Tomorrowland, Mickey's Toontown, and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge®.
EPCOT is one of the biggest parks of all and takes a whole day easy. The illuminations at 9pm is worth staying for. AK is also fairly large. The up and down is, you could do it, you will lose around 1 to 2 hours going between parks and you probably wont see 50% of what both parks offer.
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.
Originally opened in 1995, Blizzard Beach is by far the most under-the-radar park in Disney World, which is understandable considering its focus as a water-specific park. And let's fact it: water parks aren't everyone's cup of tea.
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.
A; As a general rule of thumb we find EPCOT to be the best park for adults visiting Disney World and Animal Kingdom to be the better park for guests who enjoy animals and live stage shows. We do find that EPCOT and Animal Kingdom are great parks to consider combining when you plan to park hop at Walt Disney World.
Walt Disney's Magic KingdomIn addition to being the most popular theme park from among all Disney-affiliated parks, the Magic Kingdom park is also the most widely visited theme park in the world.
Epcot is arguably the best Disney theme park for adults as far as attractions, dining, drinking, shopping, and shows go. The 11 culturally enriching pavilions of World Showcase are usually a top priority for adults, and the restaurants are some of the best in all of Disney World. Epcot also wins out on events.
While Magic Kingdom has MORE attractions, EPCOT has some of the NEWEST attractions. Frozen Ever After, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind have all been added to EPCOT more recently than any ride at Magic Kingdom.
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.
Disneyland ParisDisneyland Paris is simultaneously the most beautiful Magic Kingdom-style park ever built, and the park with the most squandered potential. Disneyland Paris is a love it or hate it place.

Purchase 1-day Park Hopper pass ahead of time through your resort. Make a prioritized list of what you want to see/do/eat/ride at each of the 4 parks: Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. Draw up a detailed plan of what you want your day to look like and stick to it.
The cheapest Disney World Park is Disney's Animal Kingdom with one-day tickets without Park Hopper starting at $109 per adult and $104 per child (ages 3-9).
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.
In Disney World, the standard Park Hopper Option allows you to visit more than one theme park on the same day. This means that you can enter up to four parks on the same day, as long as you abide by the current park hopper rules.
So what's the average? Nine rides. In a whole day. Considering that a one-day adult ticket costs $87 and change, and entrance for a child age 3 to 9 is $78.81, this means typical visitors are paying roughly $9 or $10 per ride.
