Hi Laurie,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel.
How wonderful that you're heading to Walt Disney World with your tournament plans!
You ask a fun and challenging question. I always feel there are attractions, shows, and dining experiences in each of the 4 theme parks that offer something for everyone.
Personally, I always feel a day in Magic Kingdom Park is a must. There's simply so much magic to enjoy — from Main Street U.S.A. and the upcoming Move It! Shake It! MousekeDance It! Street Party, to Happily Ever After nighttime fireworks, to favorite attractions like Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Haunted Mansion, and more.
I also feel that Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is a must-do, especially because I personally think
Avatar Flight of Passage is a most indescribably awesome attraction. In addition to Pandora – The World of Avatar and the Valley of Mo'ara, you'll also find two of my most favorite live performance shows — Festival of the Lion King and Finding Nemo - The Musical.
So, Epcot or Disney's Hollywood Studios? If the Force is strong with any of you, I'd say Disney's Hollywood Studios is an easy choice where you can pursue your Star Wars adventures and then play big in Toy Story Land. Epcot offers equally compelling adventures with visits to all the country pavilions in the World Showcase.
I'd encourage you to check out the
Tickets & Visit Guide for a helpful overview of the theme parks tailored to your family. Another idea is to look into adding a Park Hopper Option to your tickets so you can hop between the parks during your 3 days.
Laurie, here's wishing you a wonderful Walt Disney World vacation.
Enjoy your Disney!
Jerry
