On my arrival day we will be arriving around 2pm and expect to be settled in at the hotel (CBR) about 3/4. So I decided that this would be a good time to go to EPOCT and relax. Maybe catch a few rides depending on waits, see a country or 2 then dinner on the patio at Mexico around 8pm and watch illuminations. Hope this helps
Three years in Connecticut and loving it Next trip in Jan 2017 I hope!
I never feel like I am at Disney until we go to the Magic Kingdom. We did not go there until day two this year and it felt wierd.
But anyways....
-If you have small kids go to Magic Kingdom.
-If you have boys take them to DHS
-If you have girls take them to Magic Kingdom
-If you are adults only go Epcot
-Animal Kingdom closes too early
I agree with the above post, so much of it depends on your family.
For us, no matter how late we arrive, we always go to MK on our arrival day. Sometimes, we just have lunch or dinner at Casey's and go on some of the smaller rides, othertimes we're early enough to do some of the big stuff.
Either way, we're officially at Disney once we got to MK.
All of that being said, I also like the idea of going to Epcot, getting dinner and watching Illuminations
go to info central here at intercot see who closes late or has EMH. I like to do MK my first day as another poster said it just makes it seem more like you are at Disney!!
I think we will go to Epcot -- I'm hoping we'll be abl eto do the Kim Possible adveture even if it's afternoon. Does that run out?
We're getting there on a Sat (Dec12).
By the way, would it be better for us to get someone to drive us from the airport instead of using Magical Express? I seem to remember that in 2007 we did quite a bit of waiting for the ME bus to get underway. It didn't matter then because we arrived at night, but we'd be wasting park time this time ...

depends on dining reservations and EMH PM, usually i have one at epcot worldshowcase so epcot would be my pick, if no dining reservations, then prob MK
if MK has EMH PM, my pick would be Epcot and do MK at night
