Hi, Andrea! I love answering a question for a vacation-planning mom with a
great name!
I have 9- and 6-year-old sons, and you can definitely do all the parks
in 4 days. First, go to the calendars of the parks and find out the
park hours, Extra Magic Hours, special events and entertainment
schedules for the days you're there. You can start by going to
the MK Calendar
and clicking on the individual days to find out details. Then, you'll
need to map out a plan for each day and for what your family is most
interested in figuring in travel time between parks, too.
Depending on when you're there, it will probably take a family of 4
(without mobility issues -- no strollers, wheelchairs or ECVs) about a
day and a half at MK, a half to full day at EPCOT, morning until late
afternoon at AK and a full day at DHS. For our family, part of the
experience is sitting down at a table-service meal each day of our
vacation to talk about what we've seen and done and to plan what's next
on the agenda. You can make
Advanced Dining Reservations
at almost any table-service restaurant in the parks as well as other
resort locations. It's a great way to begin or end a day and savor the
time together as a family. Have a wonderful day and a magical vacation!
