Disney World diehards cannot imagine skipping a single one of Walt Disney\u2019s theme parks<\/a>, but if you have a short trip, bad weather, or a hard to please group, you may want to intentionally overlook these Disney World parks to skip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

List of Disney World Parks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other Disney properties, such as Disneyland in Paris<\/a> or California<\/a>, Disney World offers multiple theme parks. If you\u2019re taking a short trip, or you are otherwise short on time, you may need to skip a Disney World park<\/a> or two during your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are other reasons you may want to skip one of the Disney World parks, including weather and the dispositions or attitudes of the people in your party. Before we get into that, however, let\u2019s cover the list of Disney World parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Main Theme Parks at Disney World<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Magic Kingdom<\/a>: <\/strong>The original Disney World park patterned after the original Disneyland. Here you\u2019ll find a great mix of attractions to appeal to young and old alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EPCOT<\/a>:<\/a><\/strong> The EPCOT park was themed on Walt\u2019s idea for a city of tomorrow, brining the future and present together in a cultural exploration. You\u2019ll find plenty to do at EPCOT, but most of it is not ride-focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hollywood Studios<\/a>: <\/strong>Hollywood Studios once offered a working movie set. Things are much simpler now that the park operates solely as a theme park. Here you\u2019ll find a number of thrill rides, many based on Disney movies, and big adult appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animal Kingdom:<\/a> <\/strong>Animal Kingdom is the place for animal lovers to unite with multiple exhibits throughout the park. You\u2019ll also find two of the most acclaimed productions here based on the animated films \u201cThe Lion King\u201d and \u201cFinding Nemo\u201d. Animal Kingdom offers other shows and amazingly themed rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disney World’s Water Parks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are two water parks at Disney World: Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. During the summer, both tend to be open. However, fall through spring one or the other is usually closed for refurbishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disney World Parks to Skip on a Hot Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No one wants to hear that Magic Kingdom is a good Disney World park to skip, but in extreme heat, you may consider it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magic Kingdom is very much out in the open, which means little to no shade. On a scorching Florida day full of heat and humidity, you will be scrambling for every patch of shade you can find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magic Kingdom also has many outdoor attractions and outdoor queues. This means less air conditioning, and fewer breaks from the extreme heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside EPCOT, you can always wait out the heat inside the indoor attractions, or while shopping at the World Showcase. In Hollywood Studios, all of the attractions (except a couple,) are indoors, and have indoor, air-conditioned queues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animal Kingdom might just be the best park to visit in the heat, as the vast majority of the park is under shade trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disney World Parks to Skip During Bad Weather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one may seem a bit obvious, but, during inclement weather, consider removing water parks from your plans. Disney has some of the most intricate, and most fun water parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, no one wants to be at Blizzard Beach during an actual blizzard, or during a thunderstorm. During the early summer, Florida experiences a lot of afternoon thunderstorms that show up out of nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that the water slides and pools will close for minutes, or even hours if thunder and lightning are about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, if we were to narrow this to just the four main theme parks, I would recommend skipping Animal Kingdom during rainy weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animal Kingdom is the perfect Disney World park to skip in a downpour due to its lack of indoor spaces. Since the park is based on animals, nature, and conservation, many of Animal Kingdom\u2019s attractions are outdoors and in the weather, whatever that weather may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
