Linda,
Well, the Animal Kingdom park hours are not yet up, but since we have the others, I think we can take a fair stab at it. Here is where I would go;
- January 8 - Arrival Day
- January 9 - Magic Kingdom (all day)
-
January 10 - Hollywood Studios (all day)
-
January 11 - Epcot (all day)
-
January 12 - Animal Kingdom (AM) / Downtown Disney (PM)
-
January 13 - Magic Kingdom (All day)
-
January 14 - Hollywood Studios (AM) / Epcot (PM)
-
January 15 - Hollywood Studios (AM) / Magic Kingdom (PM)
I don't have you hopping a ton at the start, but if you want to switch parks, certainly do. And if you want to schedule more internationally-inspired meals at the Epcot World Showcase, you can still do that with your hoppers.
So what is next? Do you need some dining recommendations? If so, write back with info on a) where you will be, b) table service or quick service, c) cuisine preferences, and d) entertainment interests (like characters, shows, fun, or specific ambiance).
Have a magical vacation!
