We are headed next week for our first trip since 2016. We arrive Sunday afternoon and leave Saturday morning. My schedule is:
Sunday evening: Hollywood Studios
Monday: MK
Tuesday: MK
Wednesday: MK
Thursday: Epcot
Friday: MK
Saturday: go home
I have 3 MK days, 1 EPCOT day, 0.5 Hollywood studio days and 0 AK days.
I can't be the only person who tours this way. We are skipping AK because our local Six Flags (Great Adventure in NJ) has a safari ride. There just isn't enough left at AK to make it worth "losing" a MK day. We're going to Hollywood Studios to ride ToT, RnR, TSM (FP+ booked) and then get in line for SDD right at close. But there's not enough there to go back a second time.
Maybe we're weird, but I have a feeling most people spend more days at MK than the other parks. Given that "fact" (maybe true but I have no proof)....
WHY has Disney chosen to spend money updating/improving MK over the past decade while other parks suffer? New Fantasyland dollars would have been better spent at EPCOT making use of their empty buildings. Tron dollars could be better spent at Animal Kingdom.
I know Star Wars is coming. I know Pandora has opened, but are people going to AK more days than MK? I don't think so. Pandora is not enough to make AK "better" than MK.
So I think the best move by Disney would be to let MK sit for the next 20 years and spend all their extra money flushing out the other 3 parks to make them on par with MK.
