If you had just one day???

In August I will be in Orlando for a business trip. Being the mouse fan that I am, I cannot be in Orlando and not go see Mickey. Our P&PP got rained on BIG time in April and they gave us some comp tickets good for a 1 day pass anytime in the next year. So I don't have the ability to park hop. I am having a terrible time trying to decide which park to go to. MK is a soft spot for me, I worked on the Jungle Cruise in college and I love the magic of MK. Epcot is another favorite, but I don't drink and I'm going to be doing much shopping because I'm flying. HS is fun with my family, but I'm not sure I would enjoy it alone. AK is one of my favorite spots but again, I'm sure there is enough for a whole day alone. Where would you go if you had just one day?

Thanks!!!

Epcot

If i had one day as an adult by myself, it would definitely be Epcot. There is so much to look at and do that can be done alone without feeling out of place. I love looking through the countries. There is also Off-Kilter, the English group, and all the other sidewalk entertainment you could sit and watch, besides great food! For me, there is no other choice. Ive gone to Florida a couple times with just a day pass and Ive chosen Epcot both times.

I actually went for ONE day, but since I have an AP I was able to hop
but in your case, I would choose epcot, even though you dont drink
its big enough where you can pretty much do alot in one day.

If I did Epcot, that would take care of that school bread fix I have been dreaming of. My husband said he would do Epcot too! Hmmmmm

I vote for Epcot as well! Like other posts said, there is so much to do and see. I don't drink either so that would not be an issue for me at all. It's just so beautiful in World Showcase. You can talk to all the different CM's from around the World. And sit and people watch while you eat a wonderful eclair from France!!
There's just so much at Epcot to do and see, it would be a wonderful day!

I'd go to either Epcot or MK, it would be a hard decision for me. Are there any new things that you have experienced yet at either park that would maybe help your decision along?

If I was alone as much as I love MK I would chose Epcot...just to be able to leisurely walk around the WS....that would be a wonderful day.

For me, it would be Epcot, as it's far and away my favourite park - to me, there's nothing more magical than stroling around World Showcase.

another vote for Epcot! There is nothing better than sitting on a bench around the Lagoon with a glass of wine people watching!

Actually I would go for MK - I wouldn't try and do everything, just a shortlist of my best loved.
I do love Epcot and AK but I wouldn't feel as if I had really been to WDW if I hadn't walked down Main St towards the Castle.

I'm gonna say HS! (I love EPCOT, but so does my whole family)
I want to stop and watch the cast of street characters perform........(DH, will never stop for more that two mins). Ride the new Toy Story ride, I'd take the Backlot tour, see Beauty and the Beast, ride RnRC, Have Dinner at Holly Brown Derby (I'd eat the cobb salad for two all by myself!) And finish the evening with Fantasmic.

What a wonderful dilemma to have! If I wanted to enjoy nostalgia, I would go to MK. If I wanted to enjoy the diversity offered at World Showcase, then I would choose EPCOT.
Whichever you choose, ENJOY! That will be a very special day!!
