HELP with Disney + SeaWorld Intinerary - TRIP May/2025

Walt Disney World

Hey guys.

I would like your help with the itinerary for my trip in May/2025.
We will stay at Disney’s all star music from 13/05 until 19/05

We (my wife and I) will start the trip to the Disney and SeaWorld parks, starting on 05/14/2025. We will do the 4 parks (1 per day) and another day at SeaWorld, between May 14th and May 18th. We won’t have a rest day between the parks, because I couldn’t fit it into the itinerary, so we’ll make the most of it.

I would like your opinion and suggestions on which day to choose for each park, thinking about getting fewer queues each day and making the most of it.

Some observations:

  • Epcot is not a priority (my wife is not a big fan).
  • We will try to arrive on time for Early park entry, especially for MK and HS.
  • I will buy the skip the line on the day I go to SeaWorld

Thank you in advance for your help.

On your early entry days I would suggest an early evening since no rest days. And plan your 1pm - 5pm out of the sun. Find the indoor attractions, eateries and shade. I’m not familiar with Sea World hours but I suspect with travel it will be a long day along with MK and HS. Animal Kingdom right now is easily a (longer) half day and you can also make EP a (longer) half day. I would sandwich these in between the longer days to give y’all some sleep in time and a little rest. I would avoid Epcot on a Saturday. Some also say to avoid MK and HS on a Monday. You could check the crowd calendars but if they don’t have big spikes for either of these parks on one day vs another I would say do the order you prefer.
Some like to start with MK and some like to end with it. Without rest day I would say sandwich it in the middle or start with it. HS will have long lines without LLMP. They just have less to do. So if your strategy is to RD to get shorter queues, make HS your first or middle day. On your last day you may find it harder to hit RD. And MK is the park that has so much to do that RD isn’t as critical, IMO.
I would limit TS since you don’t have a lot of time in the World.
Would y’all drive to the parks? I’m always fine with the buses but if you want to drive remember MK buses bring you to the front door. If you drive you will be at the TTC.
