Disneyworld in 2 days

We will be in Orlando and would like to take kids - age 9,7, and 3 to Disneyworld for 2 days. Any recommendations on itinery to maximize our time there? We will do Magic Kingdom in 1 full day and then plan to do Hollywood Studio and Animal Kingdom the next.

It's going to be very hot and very crowded. 2 parks in one day not recommended. You'll probably waste about an hour just traveling between the two. Utilize fast passes as much as possible.

What gmoney said about FastPass. Get the mobile app for it. Last couple of times we went there, we saw so many people with their heads down checking wait times and making fast pass reservations, that there was no way to get on the more popular rides without doing that. For us it really was a spoiler, but that's ok since we've been enough to last us the rest of our lives.

Those two parks are probably fine in one day, actually. There's not all that much to do in HS and AK is really bloody hot- you won't want to do a full day there anyway.

I don't know if you could do all of MK in one day though. I couldn't. It's a lot of walking. Make your three fastpasses for as early in the morning as possible, rope drop the popular rides you really want to ride, and then use your rolling fastpasses after lunch for everything else. Stand by lines take a long time.

Actually, with the opening of the Pandora section, Animal Kingdom now easily takes a full day and into the night. Hollywood Studios is great early but gets very busy by 11, but there's not a huge amount to do there right now with two big sections of the park under construction.

Unless you are staying on-site, however, I'd probably just pick one or the other ... as in one park per day. You have less access to fastpass+ if you aren't a WDW guest, so that limits your ability to plan ahead.
