I have seen many different answers to this question so I am looking for personal experiences. What days do you avoid certain parks and what days are the best?
I have always tried to follow the recommendations from this site which are to avoid:
Magic Kingdom: Monday, Saturday & Sunday
Epcot: Wednesday & Friday
Disney-MGM Studios: Tuesday, Wednesday & Saturday
Animal Kingdom: Monday, Tuesday & Friday
We normally go around May and do not have to deal with heavy crowds or extream heat, so planning was not as critical. This year we are going in July. :sun: As the kids get older we can no longer take them out of school, and due to other obligations this is the only time that is going to work for us. We figured Disney in July is better than no Disney at all. Now, more than ever, due to crowds and heat, careful planning is going to be key.
Our current plan is as followed:
Sat July 16 - Arrival Day, Enjoy the Resort (VWL), pool, mouse boats, etc. HDDMR for dinner
Sun July 17 - AK, Artist Point dinner, MK for evening EMH.
Mon July 18 - Epcot, Teppen Edo lunch, Coral Reef Dinner
Tues July 19 - MK, Grand Floridian Cafe lunch, Ohana dinner
Wed July 20 - off site :secret:
Thurs July 21 - offsite :secret:
Fri July 22 - DHS, Mama Melrose for dinner, MK evening EMH
Sat July 23 - open, nothing planned yet, 6:45pm departure flight
For an expample 1 site has AK the park not to go to on Sun the 17th but I find nothing anywhere else to back this up.
Looing for any point of view on the subject.
