Travel days park recs
We will fly into MCO and should arrive at the Poly around 12:30/1pm on a Sunday in March (assuming travel goes off without a hitch). We have five days worth of park tickets, no hoppers. We intend to get MLLs and ILLs. We fly out early evening on the 5th day (5/6ishpm). On day five we plan to leave our bags at bell hop in the AM, go into a park, and then grab our bags on the way out to the airport. What would be y'all's suggested itinerary on the travel days? We want to go into a park on both of them, which means with 5 days of tickets we'll be repeating one park.
The other two constants in this equation is that (assuming extended evening hours are the same in March as they are now), we will for sure be going to Epcot on Monday (day 2) and MK on Wednesday (day 4).
Two adults, no kids. First timers. Big ride people, much less emphasis on shows.
My first thought was to do AK on day 1 - driving straight from the airport to AK and having our bags dropped at Poly bell hop on our behalf after dropping us at AK (apparently there's a service that does this, yay). Then that leaves HS for day 3 (Epcot day 2 Monday, MK day 4 Wednesday) and we then have day 5 to repeat whatever our favorite park was. However, now I'm rethinking this - should we just Uber straight to the Poly and hop on the monorail into either MK or Epcot day 1 and save AK for day 5? If this is the way, should we do MK or Epcot?
Signed, an overthinker.
