The Five Park-Day Vacation
A five park-day vacation is probably a typical week-long vacation with two travel days built in, or a leisurely nine- or ten-day trip to the World with some resort days built in. You'll start seeing a pattern here. Park #1 - Magic Kingdom You always start your trip out with the Magic Kingdom for all the reasons listed above. You have a long trip with five full days of parks. Start it off right. Park #2 - Epcot Epcot has some great food and drinks, and is a popular destination during the International Food & Wine Festival. Plenty of attractions like Soarin', Test Track and Frozen Ever After to keep you occupied throughout the day. You can finish the day by watching Illuminations. As the second park of the trip, Epcot offers a less crowded option that gives you a less hectic day. While there are plenty of attractions to line up in a queue for, Epcot does have the World Showcase that you can leisurely stroll through and visit all the pavilions. When you have a five-day marathon of parks, Epcot on the second day might give you something of a reprieve. Park #3 - Hollywood Studios You're in the middle of your trip and Hollywood Studios is in the middle of a lot of construction. In a year this will be a very different park with Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opening, but still it offers a lot of shows, the new Toy Story Land and a few thrilling rides. This is the perfect park to go in late after sleeping in and leave early. Before Toy Story Land some considered it a half-day park, and for some it may still be that way. Because of this, it's perfect for the middle of your trip if you don't have any resort days baked in. Sleep late, relax back at the resort or Disney Springs in the evening and get a solid 4-5 hours in the park. Park #4 - Animal Kingdom You're going to this park for all the same reasons listed in the three-day vacation, but you're putting this on day four. Why? The later in your trip, the better chance you can get a FastPass at your 60-day mark. Park #5 - Magic Kingdom It doesn't need to be explained again. You bookend your trip with the Magic Kingdom for the same reasons, again, as the three park-day vacation. So if you're staying for 9 or 10 days and have a few resort days built into the trip, you might want to break it up so you don't have more than three park days in a row. But realistically, after you purchase five tickets, daily tickets only amount to an extra $10 each day or so. Your resort days become heading into the parks at night just to see fireworks or hit up a dinner reservation.
