Hello, we are booked to come to Disney World in late March/early April 2025. We have a 9 and 12 year old. We initially have our schedule as below but interested in thoughts based on what people know of crowds on certain days (I know, it is hard to predict!).
We are also looking to book a LLMP for a couple parks, MK being a definite and either Epcot or Animal Kingdom. Also interested in thoughts on that for those that did LLMP at the parks - aside from MK, where is it most helpful? We actually went to Hollywood Studios a couple years ago so less critical that we do all the rides there since we did them before! It will be a first time at MK, AK and Epcot.
Sat Mar 29 check in day , potential water park day
Sun Mar 30 - Epcot
Mon Mar 31 -Break day
Tues April 1 - Magic Kingdom
Wed April 2 - Break day
Thurs April 3 - Hollywood Studio
Fri April 4- Animal Kingdom
Sat April 5 - Break day
Sun April 6 - Magic Kingdom
Monday depart!
Thank you !!!
I think the best indicator for how busy each park will be is the price of the multipass. Disney knows exactly how busy it will be and prices the lightning lanes accordingly.
We went with an 8 and 11 year old last year, so not too different from yourself. People say that generally Tues-Wed-Thurs are quieter so I guess if there's one park in particular that is your favorite you could do that on those days. That said the parks are busy pretty much every day, so I don't think it really makes that much difference!
Obviously the schedule is entirely up to you and your needs, but if it were me I'd be having less break days. Or at least use those days to go back to the parks and do things slightly slower and pick and choose what you want to do a bit more. I actually found it more enjoyable going back to a park the 2nd time because you didn't feel as though you had to try and pack everything in.
Also depending on your budget I'd recommend multi pass for all the parks. I found with my family it allowed us to not rush as much and fit in time for breaks (just 30 mins here and there) to get a snack and recharge a bit. You don't necessarily get that time if you in long lines a lot.
Hope you have a great trip!
