If you only have three days, don’t skip the Magic Kingdom!<\/em><\/p>\n People who decide to visit Walt Disney World<\/a> over a long weekend have a decision to make. There are four major theme parks<\/a> on property, so what do you do if you have only three days?<\/p>\n My first bit of advice is to focus only on those theme parks. With only three days, there just isn\u2019t enough time to spend at the water parks<\/a>, Disney Springs<\/a>, or the BoardWalk.<\/p>\n Some guests will chose to buy park hopper tickets<\/a> and attempt to see all four parks in three days. While this is a viable option, keep in mind that hopping from park to park takes time, valuable time you might rather want to spend enjoying Disney\u2019s attractions. And even if you do decide to park hop, one park is invariably going to get less time than the other three.<\/p>\n My advice? \u00a0Skip\u00a0Hollywood Studios<\/em><\/p>\n My advice, in this situation, is to spend one full day at three theme parks, and skip the fourth park for a future visit. This way, you will be able to see the highlights of three parks without running yourself ragged.<\/p>\n But which park doesn\u2019t make the short list? Well, until Star Wars: Galaxy\u2019s Edge and Toy Story Land open, I\u2019m going to recommend that right now, you consider leaving Disney\u2019s Hollywood Studios<\/a> off of your touring plan.<\/p>\n\n Put simply, at this point in time, so much of the Studios is closed and\/or under construction that this park doesn\u2019t merit a full day of touring. Yes, there are some headliner attractions, such as Star Tours: the Adventures Continue<\/a>, the Tower of Terror<\/a>, Toy Story Mania!<\/a>, and Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roller Coaster<\/a>, but compared with the myriad of attractions open and running at the other theme parks, I still say this is the park to skip.<\/p>\n Don’t skip Epcot unless you have very small children<\/em><\/p>\n The Magic Kingdom<\/a> alone has so many popular attractions that it\u2019s only possible to see the highlights in one day. In fact, the only reason I would recommend skipping this park instead is if you\u2019re a Disneyland regular and have already ridden that park\u2019s version of the Magic Kingdom rides many times. Even in that situation, I\u2019d hesitate to recommend visiting the Studios instead since Disneyland regulars will have likely also ridden Star Tours, Toy Story Mania! and Tower of Terror many times.<\/p>\n Epcot Center<\/a> is vast, with many attractions and two major areas to explore. It\u2019s hard to recommend skipping this park unless you are traveling with very small children and worry that the park\u2019s themes of technology and world travel might be too sophisticated for them.<\/p>\n A few years ago, I might have recommended Disney’s Animal Kingdom<\/a> as the park to skip. But now that the park has evening hours, and the addition of Pandora: the World of Avatar<\/a>, I consider this park a must see.<\/p>\n Animal Kingdom is now a full day park<\/em><\/p>\n As with any other type of vacation, consider your family\u2019s specific traveling style and interests when deciding which parks to visit. If, for instance, you have a die hard wanna-be Jedi in the family, you might opt to visit the Studios simply to explore that park\u2019s Star Wars attractions and entertainment. But in general, if you have only three days at Walt Disney World at the present moment, I recommend skipping the Studios.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Studios-265x400.jpg\")
