Steve’s take
The biggest park (by area) and the most underrated. Pandora's Avatar Flight of Passage is one of the best rides Disney has ever built — line jumps from 30 min to 180 min by 11 AM. Kilimanjaro Safaris in mid-morning when animals are active. Closes earliest because it's an animal park; that's a feature, not a bug — you're done by 5 PM with afternoon energy for a pool dinner back at the resort.

Want help locking in Walt Disney World too?
Steve has booked thousands of Disney trips and knows which resorts and rooms actually work for families. Pixie agents are free to use (the resort/cruise line pays our commission, not you), watch for price drops you’d otherwise miss, and pull room locations the booking sites don’t show. Disney/Universal/cruise prices climb the closer you get — booking early gets you the best rate and pick.
