First timers to Orlando! Any advice?? :)

Hey everyone!

 

My boyfriend and I are flying to Orlando from Los Angeles at the beginning of March for a wedding..and since neither of us have been to Florida--It's theme park time!!

 

We have 4 days to have fun at the parks. He loves Harry Potter, so we're definitely going to IOA for a full day, which gives us 3 days to play at other parks.

 

We love Disneyland and we've probably been there about 15 times in 2012, so WDW is a must. Since we only have 3 days, Do you guys recommend that we spend two full days at specific parks, maybe Magic Kingdom and Epcot..and then get a hopper for the last day to do AK and WDS?

 

Any suggestions on more budget-oriented hotels that are still comfortable? We wanna make sure we maximize our time and experience without breaking the bank on this trip, so I'm figuring out budget details and stuff right now. Sorry for all the questions, but since we've never been, any advice would be REALLY appreciated!!

 

Thanks!

Lewis

I would suggest getting a Disney Three Day Park Hopper. The parks are all open at different times and can have different crowd levels. With a park hopper you can have the option to move around. Check the hours as beginning of March does start the Spring Break season so you may see some late nights which could help you out. I certainly would plan the majority of your time at Epcot and Magic Kingdom, but as we recently found out if you like Animals and/or Shows then Animal Kingdom can take up a good chunk of your day as well.
