We just got back from a short HS-only trip for Spring break and are going back for my daughter's birthday in June. We are bringing her best friend, who has never been to Disney other Hollywood Studios with us last week. Family and I went to Animal Kingdom last year, but best friend has never been. Which option would you choose? I'd be about $190 for EMM (husband would probably join us later in the day and not go to EMM) or $80 for an additional park day. If we go with AK, we could probably add in another character meal.
ETA: Daughter is turning 8 the week we go, and her best friend is 8! We all managed RD to close at HS plus tons of walking at DS the day before and resort exploring the day after without complaint, so pretty good stamina! Girls also road RnR and ToT, love all rides!
We arrive an hour before rope-drop, take an afternoon break, and return to the parks unless early closing. We drive.
Monday - Arrival day (no park)
Tuesday - Magic Kingdom (Early Morning Magic)
Wednesday - Pool/Disney Springs day
Thursday - Epcot (EMH at 8 am -- we'd be there!)
Friday - Departure day;'Ohana brunch
OR
Monday - Arrival day + half-day Animal Kingdom highlights (Safari, Pandora, EE, Lion King show, etc.)
Tuesday - Epcot (Evening EMH until 11)
Wednesday - Pool/Disney Springs day with character meal
Thursday - Magic Kingdom (PPO breakfast at BOG)
Friday - Departure day;'Ohana brunch
Thanks for any and all insight!
