10 BIG Decisions You Must Make When Planning Your Walt Disney World Trip

7. Which Parks and When

Once you know when and where you’ll be dining, then you can plan your days accordingly. For example, if you snag an ADR for Tusker House on Wednesday, you’ll want to make that your Animal Kingdom day. You’ll also want to take Extra Magic Hours into account. EMH’s are times when a specific park is open exclusively to Disney Resort guests. For instance, if you’re staying on-property and Magic Kingdom has EMH’s on Monday, then you’ll want to take advantage of that and make Monday your Magic Kingdom day. However, if you’re staying off-property, you may want to choose a different park on Monday, since a large number of on-property guests will probably be choosing Magic Kingdom. To find out about EMH’s during your stay, consult the schedule on your My Disney Experience app.
