Which Disney World park is the fastest to get through?
Based on my own personal experience, I have always found that my family of six can hit everything on our must do list fairly quickly at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park followed by Disney's Hollywood Studios. I hope this information is helpful to you.

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.

As you can see, Magic Kingdom covers the smallest area of land. However, in terms of sidewalks, Hollywood Studios wins out with the fewest miles of the total walkways. Based on our calculations, Hollywood Studios requires the LEAST amount of walking, and Epcot requires the MOST amount of walking.
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.
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.
Whether you are in Orlando for a short trip, or your preferred destination is one of the biggest theme parks in the city, it is possible to enjoy Disney World in 2 days.
The best combination for first-timers is EPCOT and Magic Kingdom Park. Both are quintessential Disney experiences in my opinion. Epcot is a great park to walk and enjoy the World Showcase and the countries that are represented. Magic Kingdom has all the nostalgic vibes for me.
Just like there are more expensive times, there are also times of the year when it is cheaper to go to Disney World. As a rule, January, February, August, and September are the cheapest seasons, as long as you avoid any holidays in those months.
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.
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 general the best days of the week to visit the Disney World parks are Tuesday and Wednesday. The reason being is many families find that you need an entire week for a Disney vacation and typically arrive on Saturday or Sunday. We find weekends and Monday to be the busiest days at Walt Disney World.
You can do three days without park hopper and skip one park, or you can get park hopper and visit all four parks. We discuss these options more below. Either way, we recommend buying three-day tickets from an authorized seller of discount Disney World tickets, like Undercover Tourist.
The reason I tell you to spend a full day at Magic Kingdom and Epcot is because both parks offer more to do and they're also the most iconic Disney parks. Thus, they deserve more time than do the other two parks. Even one full day at these parks will just whet your appetite for more…. but it's a good start.
Attraction HoursWhile Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park is typically open from 8 a.m. to 7 or 8 p.m., the hours of specific attractions are often different.
Although I love all four of the main theme parks for different reasons, I would have to say that Magic Kingdom Park has the most attractions to experience and usually requires the most time for my family.
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.
AN EXTRA GEM: If you like to squeeze in as much magic as possible like I do, you're going to love having the ability to park hop. Perhaps you could even complete the unofficial Four Parks Challenge. This is when you visit all four theme parks in one day!
Perhaps you could even complete the unofficial Four Parks Challenge. This is when you visit all four theme parks in one day! If you take on this challenge, I highly recommend starting with the theme park that opens the earliest and end your day at the theme park that closes the latest.
